Guerrilla Warfare

By Tim Miller  

Many of us know what this is.  We’ve seen war movies where guerrillas are sneaking through the jungles, hiding behind trees and brush, waiting for the enemy and attacking.  They fire some shots, lay out some booby traps and create confusion and disorder among the enemy.  Then they inflict casualties and before the enemy can even gather themselves, the guerrillas have disappeared into the jungle.  For most of you, that either sounded really exciting, or absolutely terrifying.  Maybe it was a bit of both.

Stop Going To Church

By John T. McNeal  

Two weeks ago, my pastor asked our entire congregation to stop going to church.  He was very sincere in his delivery of this message and everyone was motionless. If someone from the upper sound booth had dropped a pin, it would have made a terrible crash as it hit the floor. What was even more perplexing was when he started to really look serious.

Fight The Power

By Tim Miller

By Jennifer Kearson   

Let’s see, I would like some chocolate ice cream with sprinkles on top, and I would like to see the latest movie and purchase those new jeans I’ve been eyeing. After that, I’ll start all over and buy some new shoes with the latest hand bag and eat out at some fancy restaurant before the day ends. Now that the weekend is over, I can look back and notice that only “I” have been in the picture. Sure it’s nice to buy new items and enjoy, but will they make you happy forever?

Today

By Rachael Sales   

I took the time today to play with my one year old daughter instead of rushing her through bath time and whisking her off to bed.  I took the time today to laugh and play with her instead of giving my usual speech of not getting the floor wet or soaking her sisters’ hair.  I took the time today to listen to my three year old when she said, “I wanna come with you mommy”.  I took her with me and we had a blast just laughing together and eating Doritos.  At the end of today, I got frustrated with the demands of motherhood. After giving my all to them, they still wanted more and I bought into the lie that it required too much.
