Perhaps you scheduled time to be with friends; maybe you have some home improvement projects on a “to do” list; maybe a little weekend trip out-of-town.

A Fragment Society
A Fragment Society You may have noticed this trend…in fact, you may be contributing to it. Media sites such as NPR are reporting it. We don’t do whole things any more–we do things in bits and pieces.

You Have More Power Than You Realize
You Have More Power Than You Realize Here’s another thought to add to last Sunday morning’s thoughts about losing the weight of inadequacy (from the current sermon series, “The Biggest Loser”).

The Difference One Letter Can Make
The Difference One Letter Can Make Many of us know that airplane travel continues to be more complicated–baggage fee, seat selection fee, security costs, scheduling snafus, flight cancellations, etc. But here is something you may have missed the last time you booked a flight and boarded the plane: a single letter code that determines your “standing” among [...]

An Amazing Year
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
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.
