Kudzu Life: Mission Ideas: Church of the Community
http://kudzulife.blogspot.com/2015/04/mission-ideas-church-of-community.html
Real life and real faith in Augusta GA and beyond. Monday, April 27, 2015. Mission Ideas: Church of the Community. I enjoyed worship Sunday at a very missionally oriented church. They exemplify an old, historic congregation that has taken. And continues to take, big risks which has helped them to take on a vibrant new role in the community. They seem to be a church that has embraced their humanity and weakness, points by word and deed to the way of Christ, and actively seeks to serve their community.

Kudzu Life: November 2014
http://kudzulife.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Real life and real faith in Augusta GA and beyond. Wednesday, November 5, 2014. I have spent Monday through Wednesday in New York City with Global Ministries. While here I've met incredibly gifted people who help in this effort that requires so much understanding, discernment, and communication. I've heard of the trio of United Methodist missionaries returning to Liberia November 6 to support the Liberia UMC response to ebola. And I've only been here 3 days. 2) United Methodists not only allow, but encou...

Kudzu Life: Mission as an Annual Conference Movement
http://kudzulife.blogspot.com/2015/04/mission-as-annual-conference-movement.html
Real life and real faith in Augusta GA and beyond. Monday, April 6, 2015. Mission as an Annual Conference Movement. I really appreciate the way our North Georgia Connectional Ministries leaders and communication team work together. It is so easy to fall into habit and patterns that create individual ministry areas that don't play well and work well together. What can happen easily in a congregation can really take on a life of its own when you are talking about 930 congregations! How Big Is Your Team?

How do your sermons/teaching/discussions help a congregation build on their place in the Kingdom of God? How does your local, national, and international mission weave together in ways that are most useful to God and to people? Who the church is and who/what is available for the mission of God?

Embrace: May 2012
http://majorfam.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 11, 2012. After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. Genesis 8:6-7. So often I am reminded how tenderly my Father cares for the birds of the air and the animals of the land. And even how much more. He cares for me. Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Saturday, October 27, 2012. Ok, so I have officially entered the "horrible blogger" world. I really do enjoy blogging. I just can't seem to find the time between the kids, homeschool, church, and my endless demands of laundry. I digress. Anyways, I am already HALF WAY through this pregnancy. It really has flown by. I have been far less sick than my previous pregnancies (still sick but not nearly as awful) and well I have 3 other kids to tend to, so life just keeps on moving! So here is an update:. We lov...
