Worship Service
The sign outside the church states, "Worship Service—Sunday at 11:00 a.m." That ought to stop traffic. Passersby should take out their pens and jot the time down in their datebooks. When a church gathers to worship, astonishing things take place.
Why We're Here
Mark and Alice Westlind are missionaries in Colombia. Here is an excerpt from their prayer letter:
The Forest And The Tree
All of us have been so close to a temptation that we lost our perspective. It may have involved something as small as a rumor that we knew shouldn't be passed along, but the urge to gossip blocked out our sense of love and good judgment.
Food For The Year
It's a good thing I grew up liking black-eyed peas, because my mother served them every New Year's Day. She didn't think this tradition would bring good luck, as some people believe, but the practice persisted at our house.
