We can help in such a small way by contacting Jolene McCormick and making a donation for a wristband which bears those words in honor of Koben Puckett, the nephew of Jolene. He still has a long road of trials and tribulations, but he remains positive as he strives to walk again Contact Jolene at her email address and she will see that you get your wristband. You can follow his progress at: www.caringbridge.org/visit/kobenpuckett It is an amazing story for faith and determination and a wonderful family's love.

October 24, 2006 - The Wise Woman Builds...
_Virtuous, trustworthy, energetic, physically fit economical, unselfish, prepared, honorable, prudent, lovable,_ and _God-fearing_ are eleven qualities pictured by the Wise Woman of Proverbs 31:10-31. Many believe that the woman described in this passage is simply a fantasy rather than a real woman to model in their own lives. However, the immutability (changelessness) of God would be in question if Proverbs 31:10-31 were not timelessly relevant…. Since God does not change,” these words are as apt a description of a wise woman today as they were when King Lemuel wrote them. (Pat Ennis, Becoming a Woman Who Pleases God. p 21)
August 5, 2006 - Does God Need Us? Well.....no. But
But...we need God. We're not nearly as indispensable as we sometimes think we are. God doesn't need us to accomplish His purposes in our respective circles of ministry. It's important for us to remember that it's not all up to us! But it's also important to remember that His love for us (regardless of our position or performance in leadership) is higher and wider and deeper than anything we can imagine. And nothing can separate us from His love. We're move beloved that we ever dreamed of being. God says so: "The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.... For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him." Psalm 103:8,11 (Lisa Harper, in Leading Women to the Heart of God, p. 1240
