Merry Christmas!

December 25, 2024December 23, 2024

Merry Christmas! The day that we celebrate all year, really, is finally here on the calendar. But may we never lose sight the fact that HE is the only way to salvation. No worldly thing that captures our attention or hearts, will ever satisfy. May the truth of THIS Truth, reign and reflect in our hearts the other 364 days of the year.

What a humbling gift that God would choose us. That we have no reason to ever be troubled because for it is certain – in Him we have life (John 10:10). May we celebrate that life today and always!

Merry Christmas from the Sterks!

The reason the article was published was because it would be JonBenet Ramsey’s 21st birthday this month. There are many issues…

A Listening Ear

God always has a way of offering perspective, no matter what life situation you are in. This moment to many may have seemed like any ole conversation and maybe rather minor to some, but it was this conversation that God used to give me perspective and open my eyes and heart to situations I walk…

Around The Home

Around our home these days, is our family of 3. I would love to say that our life is more “interesting” outside of our home, but really, our life is within our home. We have dreamed for years about what it would like to raise a child. To love a child. To even have a…
