By Susan Shanklin I have had wonderful comments from my Shoofly pie story in December about hurtful words and, in my opinion, yummy pie. Shoofly pie was a childhood favorite, a young mother’s treat for your children dashed by another’s hurtful words and by all means forgiven. Pie unbaked for years, but risen again to conquer ill-thought-out words to grace … Read more>>>

December was a busy time of ministry and family get-togethers. Travel was difficult here in the upper Midwest as we experienced snow storms, icy roads, high winds, and -25° F temperatures.

By Tom Shanklin God’s work is not limited to big cities or foreign countries or church buildings or auditoriums. He’s calling us to go forth everywhere—our towns, our schools, rural areas, third world nations, western nations, everywhere—preaching the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ. In the last verse of Mark’s Gospel, we read, “And they went forth, and preached … Read more>>>

There is a toasty fire flickering in the living room wood stove…not blasting, but a comfy cozy flame to keep the furnace from kicking on. We start out with what … Read more>>>

Anyway, cleaning … Read more>>>
