EVERY MOMent COUNTS!
Let’s face it: The elderly are some of the most overlooked members of our society. My husband is an administrator of a nursing home, which I believe is a ministry in itself. I have never seen anyone as patient and caring towards the elderly as my amazing husband. He truly respects and reveres the wisdom [...]
Just like every person on this Earth, every mother is different. God created each mother to be a unique individual, with special gifts and assets that only she can offer her children and those around her. Some mothers are stay-at-home mothers while others work outside the home, either due to financial necessity or through a [...]
(or at least get started that direction) 1. Share the cookies you have hidden. 2. Don’t sign your child up for an activity to help you look like a “good” mom. (Adding to your child’s schedule to pump your ego never works.) 3. Cut an activity you signed up for to create more down time [...]

Each event is locally-led. Sermons and small groups, concerts and prayer gatherings, shared meals and youth activities—each rousing believers with God’s call to care [...]
She was moving directly toward us. My husband called my name and said, “Get the camera!” While we were standing on opposite sides of the narrow cobblestone street, he repeatedly pointed down the road and motioned for me to take a picture of an approaching woman. But I couldn’t see her in the congested thoroughfare. [...]
A few days ago, I spoke to a group called C3G that exists to help job-seekers in the Atlanta area network and support one another. I do a lot of corporate events, but this one was different; C3G is a faith-based group that meets weekly at Northpoint Community Church, one of the largest churches in the [...]
