12 Edge Teens + 1.5 hours = ?

By | March 18, 2013

Do you find yourself playing the quiet game with young teens? “Hey lets play the quiet game. Let’s see who can stay quiet the longest. Ready… GO!!!” Or “Let’s see if we could stay quiet for 5 minutes. Starting… NOW!” Why do we choose 5 minutes instead of 30 minutes? Better yet, why not 1 hour!?

Hiking Into Humility

By | October 18, 2011

I wouldn’t say that I am always a humble person. There are times when I let my pride get in the way and it causes a distance in my relationship with others and sometimes with Christ. In Matthew 18: 3-4, Christ said: “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Recently, I was able to turn and become like that child and humble myself to let others serve
