“It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most." ~Dr Hans Rosling

Consider that the difference between just a good story and a God story is in whether the moment affects in a positive way anyone who wasn’t there. May future generations see 2020 as a God story.

Our lives say so much more than our words could ever reveal. So don't ask me what I believe, watch how I live, and I will do the same for you.

When we search for love where it cannot be found, we get lost, whether we leave home or not.

Some of Jesus stories if taken literally become horrible advice. Jesus though, doesn't tell His stories to be taken literally, but instead to be taken seriously and that is why they are so powerful.

You can call it intuition, or the Holy Spirit...or a fusion of the two-but I had a hunch. If sharing in other peoples struggles can set me free, than maybe my struggles have the potential to liberate as well. I am thankful to Barry and Andrew for showing me Jesus.

Sometimes life doesn’t fit into one of two categories. And when it does and both sides are entrenched in their specific perspective-how do we find the way forward? Which one is the better story?

How's the plot line of your life going these days? Do you feel as though past missteps have destined you to be the villain in your own story? Or has a sudden twist to the plot taken your heretofore happy story and made it an unhappy one? Whatever your story, there is grace for you in the garden of new beginnings.

Sometimes, God speaks to us through the little details where every letter matters. And Sometimes the details are vague but the feeling is crystal clear... we we're noticed, recognized, or even just simply heard. And that can be enough.

What if you believed that you could make the world a better place. How would that change the way you see and interact with strangers, your neighbors, your co workers, your family
And what if you weren’t the only one If there were others who shared this conviction - that God’s love for us desires to produce love in us and not just in us....but through us. Imagine all the great things we could do fuelled by the conviction that this is part of why we exist.
Belief is not just about knowing God, but joining God, It’s not just about trusting that God is at work in our world but believing that we can be at work in His, partnering with what he is already up to.
Our motivation to meet is outmatched by our motivation to matter…making a difference in our communities, our world.
A fresh expression of serving, loving, engaging. Part of a growing faith community, that is following Jesus wherever he goes, sharing his message of hope and love and extending his peace in our world.
