It Seemed So Simple

Laila’s bike went off the edge of a sidewalk. The drop was too much. She managed a fall just shy of a brick wall. I came to her. She was sitting there. We talked.

The Ditches of Life

An attractive 24 year-old woman boasts of being an Atheist. Logic is her god, with the right to make personal choices.

Sojourning

Laila and I left after worship and a leadership meeting on Sunday. Arriving in Winchester we shared a time with Stewart Wilkerson and the youth leaders of Winchester Church of God.

Ownership

We ended 2011 with gratitude to the Lord. New Year's Day we gathered strong to worship and fellowship. What a wonderful day!

Not Afraid

Abigail Wells — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 14:01:40 -0800

Do not be afraid to say it: “Jesus is the Reason not only for the Season, but for all things!” Yes, He was before Creation, helped to plan creation, participated in Creation, is the Giver of Life, the Savior of the World, and the HOPE of the Ages.

Needed...A Savior

Abigail Wells — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:18:43 -0800

I awoke with a start. Not to find Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, elves, or a fat little man in a red suit trying to come down our chimney. Oh, no!

The Gift That Really Counts

Shop 'til you drop. Google the perfect gift. Wrap it up and put a ribbon on it. That special person opens it and gasps in surprise and wonder. It is a moment of delight. Sweet reward.

You Have Not

Abigail Wells — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 12:43:12 -0800

Once upon a time in my life it was difficult for me to feel comfortable around really rich people. God has been working on me to teach me that folks are just people regardless of how much money or possessions they have.

How I Figure It

Abigail Wells — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:03:54 -0800

As a boy I read my share of fairy tales. One of my favorite stories was the prince who became a pauper to search for a bride.

Thanksgiving

Abigail Wells — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 13:31:27 -0800

For truth. If you had to answer what would you say? Could you with joy exclaim: “I am glad I am alive!” Is there happiness in your heart for thrill of life, of love, of friendship, and serving God and others?

Getting Into the Game

Part of my dream as a young man was to play basketball and run track. I was tall for my age and fast.

If You Do Not Mind

Abigail Wells — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:02:34 -0800

I am going to rejoice. Allow me to be grateful for wonderful blessings of the Lord upon the good folks of Covenant Church. Today was wonderful being together in worship.

Gotta Have A Plan

The Guiding Hand of God

Abigail Wells — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:09:22 -0700

Laila went on internet and found Parsonsrest.com. John and Dee Mann retired from pastoring, located to Rockwood, TN, built a home and added on very special rooms to host Christian workers and pastors. We enjoyed three nights with them, including incredible breakfasts.

Hands and Feet of Jesus

Abigail Wells — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 13:53:33 -0700

Laila and I were young and pastoring one of the smallest churches of our denomination in Virginia. We were heavy in school debt, financially challenged, and struggling.

Perspective

Abigail Wells — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:16:24 -0700

Palestine has applied to be a country. Almost 3,000,000 people (about the population of Israel) in a tiny strip of land that is perhaps the most contested piece of real estate on earth. Gaza, part of the hopeful Palestinian state, is one of the most densely populated pieces of geography. About 2,200 total square miles, which is only about 3 times the size of Albemarle County, VA.

This past weekend was a phenomenal experience for the Pastor’s Family. Laila used the word “speechless,” which is an appropriate point of departure. The event was last Saturday afternoon.
