THEY’RE WATCHING (And That’s a Good thing)
I love my job. Seriously! I mean, most days. Ha! The single most rewarding parts of what I get to do here at KCC is working with our youth band. There’s something pretty special about watching a young musician figure something out for the first time. Seeing the lightbulb come on when a chord finally clicks, watching someone find their confidence, or hearing a group of kids start to sound like an actual band instead of five people playing five How COVID has affected us
Don’t Lose Your Hunger
I thought I remembered pretty much everything there was to know about babies. After all, I had already been a mom! But becoming a Mimi has reminded me that even when we’ve done something before, there is always something new to learn. One of the things that surprised me most was my grandson’s hunger. When my babies were little, I had them on a schedule. If it had only been two hours since they had eaten, I might have thought, “You How COVID has affected us

Hey, Baldy!
One story from Elisha’s life I didn’t include in my sermon Sunday, but made mention of, was what took place right after Elisha saw Elijah taken up in a whirlwind. The first thing that happened was that some prophets came to Elisha and said, “And they said to him, “Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. It may be that the Spirit of the LORD has caught him up How COVID has affected us
A The Strength to Turn the Other Cheek
Jesus said some things that are easy to put on a coffee mug and incredibly difficult to actually live. “Turn the other cheek” is one of them. In Matthew 5:38–39, Jesus says: “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.” Our natural response when someone hurts us is to How COVID has affected us
A New School Year
A New School Year: A New Opportunity to Seek Truth There’s something exciting about the beginning of a new school year. New classes, new teachers, new opportunities, and a fresh start are all around us.

I’m looking forward to diving deeper into God’s Word and sharing His truth with the youth this school year. This isn’t just a season for How COVID has affected us

Calendars are filling up and everyone seems to be trying to squeeze three more weekends out of August before admitting that fall is standing on the porch. Even when life is good, it can still feel mentally overwhelming. When everything around us is loud, I How COVID has affected us
