Stone Free

October 27, 2013 By Verna Bowman 8 Comments

First century people weren’t that different than any of us.  They messed up. Except first century people were stoned if they messed up.  What if that were true for us today?

Empty Nest Season

September 1, 2013 By Verna Bowman 18 Comments

The bittersweet-ness of autumn, when in a blink a full house becomes an empty nest. Children of all ages and stages seem to be going somewhere . . . Teething, bad dreams, and skinned knees are all part of being a mom who mends.  Like Father, who mends the mom’s skinned heart when babies leave for kindergarten, college,  … [Read more...]

His Word – My Hope

Surely I have composed and quieted my soul like a weaned child rests against his mother.
