Charlotte Vawter

The Author of Miss Charlotte’s story is God the Father. He placed her name in the Lamb’s Book of Life and knit her together in her mother’s womb. Her children arise and call her blessed.” It is my privilege to summarize her lasting impact at Lakeside for generations to come. Because of her obedience, her legacy…

Beauty Speaks

God is Spirit, and God is love! You have just read two very important holy Scriptures. Beauty speaks to every soul. Our Creator has marvelous plans for all. Our Father makes Himself visible in all that we see, smell, taste, or touch. Everywhere we look, the Creator’s hand is clearly evidenced. The sun, waters, fish,…

Dream On

God chose to include us into His dream of having a huge family. Our heavenly Father dreamt about being in a relationship with all kinds — for generations. His plan to birth nations full of unique peoples was made manifest through a dream God gave to Abraham. Today, I simply imagined how a candy striped rose…

“When we are baptized in the Spirit, we are brought into the same reality as we will know in heaven.

Plaid Nancy Glad

Adorn me neck in a plaid. Cover me toes in socks, all buckled up in fancy boots. Outfitted appropriate to go in a Scottish style to scoot. All buttoned up for breezes. A brisk wind teases me rosy cheeks. This yarn is for a particular lassy. A proud Scot, named Miss Nancy. Her busy hands…

Arrogance

Pride shows up in many ways as we read Scripture. Pride is NOT just a feeling of being superior. A show of arrogance is recognized, if we assume, or suggest that our own reasoning of the facts is the only way. We easily identify those who are self absorbed, or behave narcissistically and see their…

Prophecy

“True prophecy reflects the unity of the Spirit and the oneness of the body of Christ, where no member is above another.” Dr Mark Chironna. As the many contemporary prophets claim to have a “special” relationship with God, no matter how they phrase it, it is not revelation but excessive pride, hubris. True revelation within…

Job

The story of Job is of great benefit to all who have and will suffer in this life. God describes Job as a man who feared Him and who shunned evil. God also declared that there is no one on earth like him, and that Job was blameless and upright. Job had great wealth and…
