Virtual Field Trip--Elmshaven!

Hi Everyone!

Thought some of you might enjoy reading a guest blog post that my son Austin wrote about a very special site named "Elmshaven."  This house is especially interesting not only because it is on the National Historic Register as a Historic building, but also because it was the last home of Ellen G. White--one of the founders of the Seventh-day Adventist church.

This home is very near and dear to my heart, because I used to live just down the road from it and for years I volunteered as a docent and gave tours to the MANY people who came to tour the house.

So if you are ready for a Virtual Field Trip to Elmshaven, just follow the link!

Four Reasons Why We Should Forgive

Good Morning Everyone!

Today I have another awesome, thought provoking video from Kim Cash Tate to challenge your thinking! :)

The topic is on forgiving.  Oh, I know what you are thinking.  As a Christian, I do not think any of us would disagree with the concept that we should forgive others.  It is a very easy phrase to say, but when someone has deeply hurt you, it is not always so easy to actually do.  In fact, sometimes I am afraid to say it almost seems like we are a bit prideful in holding onto our pain and hurt.  Sort of like we are trying to teach the other person a lesson or something. . .

Kim lists four reasons why we should forgive in the video.  A short list, but very powerful!

Four Reasons Why We Should Forgive

Was there anything that especially stood out to you?  For me, it was when Kim said that forgiving is NOT letting go of something and letting it fall to the ground, but rather it is letting go and GIVING IT TO GOD.  For me, that is a huge, huge difference!

What caught your attention?  Or what other thoughts do you have about forgiveness?  Please share in the comments!

Have a beautiful day with your beautiful Jesus!
