 Ministry Topics

Do You Really Love Me, Lord?
“The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.” –Mother Teresa
God is my heavenly Father. I am his child. Just as the love of a father is a primary need for a child, the love of a heavenly Father is a primary need for a child of God. Love is not simply the scrumptious dessert of the Christian experience—something the well-disciplined may choose to skip to avoid the calories. Love is the main course. Knowing God’s love is the foundation to a healthy spiritual life. I need my Father’s love.

How to Grow a Soul
Running on empty? Learn to switch focus from “what I do” to “who I am.” Jesus came to give us life—abundantly. Our lives are abundantly busy. But, they often lack the love, joy, and peace that characterize an abundant life in Christ. I'll show you where to find them as we learn to connect deeply with our God.
(Based on my book-in-progress, Do You Really Love Me, Lord?)

Dare to Dream with God
“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” –C.S. Lewis.
Who did God create me to be? How can I fulfill God’s specific purposes for my life? Dreams are linked to God-given passions. Dreaming with God has a cost. But, refusing to dream with God has a higher cost. Dreaming with God is not about us doing great things. It’s about God doing great things!

Woman of Influence
Women were created by God to have enormous influence in our world. We're often unaware of the extent of this influence. Learn to recognize our influence and use it for God and good.
(Study based on the book of Genesis)

The Good and Beautiful God
“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
–A.W. Tozer
What image comes to mind when you think about God? Together, we'll examine our image of God (God narrative), how we practice our faith (spiritual disciplines), and whom we interact with (social context) to discover the life Jesus lived. Let's grow in the knowledge of our good and beautiful God.

Designer Living
Who am I as a woman? Our identity as women has changed drastically in the last half-century. God’s Word speaks on the issue of gender. Learn to apply his truth in the 21st century and fully embrace our true womanhood!
(Based in part on True Woman 101 by Mary Kassian and Nancy Leigh [DeMoss] Wolgemuth)

Discovering Gold in Gray
“It takes courage to grow old,” an elderly friend once said. It also takes courage to stand beside our loved ones as they grow old and frail. At some point, many of us will even step into the role of caregiver. It can be a gray time of discouragement, grief, and loss. No surprise there. God did, however, surprise me with golden blessings, poignant lessons, and everyday joys along the way. Find fresh encouragement and inspiration for your caregiving journey.

Autumn in the Neighborhood | November 2017

Welcome to Real Life . It's autumn in my neighborhood. Chilly. Dark at suppertime. Winter is on its way. Before creation naps in blankets white and grey, the leaves wave their vibrant farewell! He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV)

The Revelation of Jesus Christ | Revelation 1

Image
Welcome to  Real Life . I think I know someone. Then something happens - a crisis or joyful event - and I see that person in a whole new way. The Apostle John knew Jesus. He spent years at Jesus’ side. Then one day on the island of Patmos, John saw him in a whole new light.  John on Patmos John was one of twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. He was also one of Jesus’ closest friends on earth. After Jesus’ death and resurrection, John became a leader in the early church. He wrote five books of the New Testament: the Gospel of John ; a trio of letters titled 1 John, 2 John, and 3 John ; and the book of Revelation . The Gospel of John is his narrative of Jesus’ life. In it, we learn that Jesus is more than a prophet. He is God himself, the Creator of the world and everything in it, who put on flesh and came to earth to save us. [1] John wrote in order that we may believe Jesus is the Christ and by believing have eternal life. [2] In 1st John , we discover that “God is lo

In Loving Memory of My Sister!

Image
Welcome to Real Life . Like it or not, death is a part of real life. Theresa (Salva) Keeler September 8, 1957 - July 7, 2023 Theresa/Terre/Tess [1]  was my sister, my friend from the moment of my birth until her last breath. I don’t know how to live without a sister. I don’t want to learn. Yet, in the midst of my sadness, I am incredibly grateful God blessed me with a sister. In many ways, Terre and I were black and white. We did not look like sisters. We grew up sharing a room, and drove each other crazy with her messiness and my neatness. She was Miss Morning Sunshine. I crawled out of bed and growled. Bone deep, however, we were the same. Our foundation stones were cut from the same quarry. We were the daughters of Slovak immigrants who were fiercely proud of both their US citizenship and their Slovak heritage. Our father arrived on this continent in his thirties with little more than the clothes on his back. Our childhood was simple and carefree. My mother did not drive, so we walk
