I pray my writing encourages, inspires, and fills you with hope to begin, or keep walking, every day with Jesus our Savior. He has given and continually gives us everything we need to live joyfully in this life, and in eternity with Him in heaven. I hope to be your friend along the way.

What I'm Up to This Month

Reading and Loving the Bible

10 Reasons Why It's Important and

10 Ways to Get the Most Out of It

I will be offering this free class at

Five Rivers Coffee Roasters:

3670 U.S. 101, Tillamook, OR 97141

On Friday, May 13 @ 12:00 noon and also Friday, May 27 @ 5:00

This one-time session is especially designed for -

People who have never read the Bible before in their life and have no clue where to start
People who have tried reading the Bible and gave up because it didn't make any sense to them
People who have read parts of the Bible (maybe even grown up going to church), but still feel ignorant when it comes to knowing what it says

This will be an informal learning session, so come with questions, or just come and soak up information and decide whether you want to try it out at home.

I'll begin with reasons why I believe reading the Bible is important. Then I'll move on with some practical ways to crack open this wonderful book. It's not so intimidating when you begin taking it a bite at a time. I'll show how to use online resources, Bible apps, as well as different versions and commentaries to get the most out of your reading.

Beware though, once you learn how addicting it is to read the Bible, you won't want to stop! That's what I hope anyway.

On Tuesday, May 24 @ 6:00 pm, I will be teaching on "Give"

at Celebrate Recovery

Tillamook Nazarene Church

2611 3rd St., Tillamook, OR 97141

Dinner for donation @ 5:30

childcare for kids up to 12

"Give" is Principle 8 and Step 12 of this faith-based 12 step curriculum. It's the fun part where we start sharing what we've learned about the joy and peace we find with God, and how it spills over into our relationships with others. It doesn't mean we're perfect, but that we know where to find help and healing from all of life's hurt, habits, and hangups. The things we've done to ourselves, and things others and the traumas of life have done to us.

I hope if you live in the area, you can come to one or both of these events in May. I would love to share with you. You have my personal invitation!
