A Day of Rest
Welcome to Faith Connections Friday! Rest. We need it. Every single one of us. God rested on the seventh day as an example to us (Genesis 2:3). So, we follow His example. In Mark 6, the disciples were quite busy. In fact, they were so busy, they did not even have time to rest. They… Continue reading A Day of Rest
Thankful for Rest
Welcome to Connections2Excellence! Thank you for being here. May you be refreshed today. There is just not enough time in the day! Work. School. Life demands. It never stops. There is no end in sight. Does this sound familiar? Sometimes it seems life is a constant roller coaster. So much to do, so little time.… Continue reading Thankful for Rest

The Solution to the Struggle

I thought I thought of thinking of thanking you. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck… Continue reading The Solution to the Struggle
A Sign of Hope
The Wolf Man. A man bitten by a wolf. Now, when there is a full moon, the man turns into a wolf. His curse? Here is a man dreading the brightness of the full moon. The sight does something that transforms him into a monstrous beast. When he awakens in the morning, he does not… Continue reading A Sign of Hope
Childlike Wonder
Welcome to Faith Connections Friday! There is just something about little ones. They are so precious. I love watching them laugh, play, and just be silly. They are loving, forgiving, trusting, and full of life. Jesus called children “at the very center of life in the kingdom” (Mark 10:13-16, MSG). I wonder why He said… Continue reading Childlike Wonder
Kindness to Friendship
Welcome to Connections2Excellence! Thank you so much for joining us! Okay, so I enjoy the old, classic scary movies, especially the ones with Abbott and Costello. To me, they are like watching “The Munsters,” another show I watched that was quite amusing. They were a family consisting of Frankenstein’s monster, vampires, and a werewolf. Daddy… Continue reading Kindness to Friendship
The Most Important Thing
Do you get distracted easily? Whew! I thought it was just me. I’m glad I’m not the only one. The most distractions come when I try focusing on something especially important to me—time in prayer and Bible study. Thoughts that definitely could wait a while inevitably come and remind me to do something today. So,… Continue reading The Most Important Thing
