An Amazing Year It’s been a year…twelve months…365 days…an amazing year for our church family… In mid-March of 2009 the congregation voted on a name change for what had been known as Central Church of Christ.

One Way To Resolve A Dispute For almost thirty years, India and Bangladesh have argued over control of a tiny rock island in the Bay of Bengal. Well, the argument has been settled…I guess. According to an article from the AP, New Moore Island in the Sunderbans has disappeared. Just gone. Rising sea levels have resolved the [...]
Arms Too Short I am pretty average height, which is not a bad thing. It was troubling as a teenager when I believed that a couple more inches might have helped me land a spot on the basketball team. More height, longer arms…who knows? I thought about my average length arms (32 inches, in case [...]
Is Anything Too Hard For God? In Genesis 18:14 the question is asked, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” The speaker is identified as the Lord. God paid a visit to Abraham and Sarah, disguised in human form. The purpose of the visit was to confirm the promise of a yet-to-be-born son to this [...]

Where Is God Leading Us? (continued) I recently read these words on a blog post: “Being filled with vision doesn’t always mean that God is inspiring us…but rather that He’s disturbing us!” That gives another spin to vision and pursuing God’s dream for RiverWalk, doesn’t it?
