Did you know that there is great value in messy processes?


If you like to bake as much as we do, you'll know that ingredients coming together for a useful end product is often a messy process. Have you ever baked with someone who is inexperienced in the kitchen? Most parents/teachers have and we do it, not because it's easy, but because we know that experience only comes one way... by getting your hands on it, by doing it. We believe that our children need and deserve the opportunity to gain the experience so we walk them through the process. We want our little ones (children/students) to learn so we watch, instruct, and utter some fairly odd grunts (signaling approval or caution) as they go through the steps that are needed.
We know that messes will happen as they learn... and not just with baking.
Some processes are messier than others depending on what is being accomplished, and how much experience or wisdom is available for the person(s) involved.
The good news for us is that God isn't put off by messy processes in life, He's far more interested in the end result.
“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” 1 John 3:1
"The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. For he knows how weak we are." Psalm 103:13-14

'The Wrinkles on My Face' (Lizzie's short story)

Name: Lizzie Tegart Age: 10 years Grade: 5th Date: November 12, 2012   Wrinkles on My Face It’s a dark morning. The alarm clock wakes me up with its “beep, beep, beep, beep.” I pressed the snooze button but the beeping only stopped for a while. When it started up again, I wanted to throw my alarm clock out the window but I knew that I shouldn’t so I got up. “Burr”, I said out loud. The floor was freezing cold on my toes! I tried to feel around for my bunny slippers but found only one of them, so I put on the one that I found and hopped to the bathroom. When I got there I flipped on the light; the light was bright on my tired eyes. I squinted and looked around to see my other slipper sitting by the bathtub. “Oh good,” I thought “now both feet will be warm.” After I put my other slipper on I decided to brush my teeth. Still squinting, I opened the cabinet and felt around for my toothbrush. As I looked through half closed eyes for the tube I thought, “I hope the raspber...

Lets Do Life Together

The need for connection and relationship cannot be ignored or your 'forever' will suffer. Even this temporal life cannot be  done well on one's own.  We need one another.  We need community. Please remember, you are needed.  You are so very loved.

Sitting in the victors circle -

When we get to the end of life on earth and contemplate the journey, to some it seems that we have fallen victim to and have been overcome by disease, illness, pain and death. It may seem that we were too weak to win the last battle and that is why life on earth is ended. Let us remember that all things in this life are leading us toward eternal life. Those who are Blood bought, Spirit filled, Bible believing and Jesus serving are those who understand that this place, this body, this carnal shell is not the end all and be all. Eternity is the bottom line for the Christian; the soul is what we invest in. Those who are obsessed with temporal life do not understand and cannot grasp why we rejoice when a faithful follower of Christ passes into eternal life. Those with dimmed vision and limited understanding of faith in God are angered & fearful at the idea of death however; those who decidedly live for Christ cannot help but celebrate when another Christian’s earthly journey comes t...
