Sexuality in the Bible: The Beginning
Sexuality in the Bible: The Beginning
By Jonathan Hayes
This is part 1 of a several part series. Sexuality: what it is and how it plays into God’s role of salvation is a captivating subject. This is probably at least one reason why St. John Paul II came out with his ‘Theology of the Body’. It is a topic that virtually everyone is interested in in one way or another, especially today.

You'll Never Get to Enjoy the View, Until You Make the Climb
You'll Never Get to Enjoy the View, Until You Make the Climb
By Teresa Hurst
We have the extreme good fortune to live in Michigan and, therefore, are surrounded by the Great Lakes. I have had an ongoing love affair with these incredible bodies of fresh water since my early days of the family cottage down the road from Lake Huron. There are countless, treasured memories of laughing, splashing, sitting, and skipping along the sandy shores of endless blue.

With the world in such chaos, will you step up?
With the world in such chaos, will you step up?
By Troy Kroening

On The Road
On The Road
By Mary Rivers
In the late 60’s I attended a conference in Marathon, Fla, south of Miami. After flying to Miami, I headed in my rental car down Highway 1, south, toward the Keys. Alas, a flat tire occurred. I was alone on a lonely stretch of land with no gas stations and few houses. Cell phones were not yet a part of our daily life, so alerting the rental company to my plight was tenuous.

The Victory of Bread and Circuses
By David Kamioner

Tongue-Tied? Why That Might Be A Good Thing
By Andree Ory
In a favorite line of a favorite movie of mine, Sense and Sensibility, the mother tells her daughter: “Hush, please. That is enough, Margaret. If you cannot think of anything appropriate to say, you will please restrict your remarks to the weather.” This line has me dying laughing, every time.

The Church Jesus Built
The Church Jesus Built
By Sherry Kenner
When I am asked for my religious affiliation, I respond that I belong to the Catholic (Universal) Church. Religion is man-made. It is a belief system, traditions, and practices put into place by man. The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ, God himself, so that His presence would remain with us on earth until the end of time. It is the only Church which has been in existence since the time

Who or What Do You Worship?
By Mariel Roersma
In our world today, it seems like God has been someone who we call on when something goes wrong. And the rest of the time He is forgotten. People find other people and things to worship instead.
