A Faith Story

YOU get love and YOU get love and YOU get love!

July 26, 2015July 26, 2015 agoolsby1 Comment

“This is amazing grace. This is unfailing love.” I let the words wash over me as I worshipped and starting thinking about the truly amazing nature of that grace. About a love that is so undeserved, yet so extravagant. When I stop and ponder the depth and passion of the grace and love of Jesus,… Continue reading YOU get love and YOU get love and YOU get love!

It Takes A Village, A Very Gracious Village

In service at NCC today, Pastor Heather shared a take on the Parable of the Vineyard Workers that is a little different from the typical ones. (I highly recommend you listen to the whole sermon.) I have to admit that while I believe every bit of it, I don’t like all of it. I want… Continue reading Justice, Generosity, and a Little Perspective

Goodness, Gracious

June 28, 2009 agoolsby1 Comment

Why do I have such a hard time remembering the graciousness of God in the midst of His discipline?  For some reason, I always think that every lesson He is teaching me has to be harsh and painful.  I know that there is a balance and that He never promised life would be easy.  But… Continue reading Goodness, Gracious
