  LEAVING A LEGACY

  We are only on this earth for a short period of time, so what can we leave as a legacy for those we love? Since I’m 71 years old, that thought has been on my mind a lot more. I wanted to leave a lasting impression on my grandkids. I noticed my oldest grandson had a coach, Trey Beathard, who was trying to share his Christian beliefs with his players. I saw my grandson was taking somewhat of an interest. So that’s when the thought came to me. I decided I’d try to record the whole Bible in my voice and give it to each of my grandchildren. Not only… Read More

  LEADING WITH A HEART FOR GOD

  As the Principal of a public elementary school, Zac Bauermaster’s job is to inspire and empower his teachers, support staff, families, and—most importantly— the next generation every single day. God has given us all gifts, talents and abilities. Zac feels it’s up to him to make sure his staff and teachers use their gifts to bring out the best in their students. Zac’s approach to being a Principal was really shaped when he and his wife walked their oldest daughter to the bus stop for her first day of kindergarten. “Her backpack was bigger than she was.

  HOPE FOR HER

  I was a single parent mom who had left a domestic violence marriage. After struggling for over 25 years with alcoholism, I lost my job. My life hit rock bottom. In that moment, when everything had fallen apart, I was face down on the floor thinking I would die. My life had blown up. It was then that I surrendered my life to Christ and confessed to the Lord that I had made a terrible mess of my life. I asked Him to do something of value, His will, with my life. Finally, I was able to get sober and connect with my… Read More

  DEALING WITH LIFE’S ROUGH WATERS

  For as long as I can remember, the ocean has been my refuge; I found solace watching the waves; they were my only escape from a tumultuous childhood. I was the eighth of nine children born into poverty in a beachside town in Costa Rica. My neighborhood was nicknamed “little hell.” My mother walked out on my family when I was four, dramatically changing the course of my life. I still vividly remember the moment she loaded her suitcase into a taxi and rode off, leaving me confused and crying in the dusty street. My father turned to alcohol to deal with… Read More

  Children Mentoring Verbalizing the Gospel

  UNKNOWINGLY PLANTING SEEDS

  My life has been a journey of mundane moments, mountaintops, valleys, and soaring times, all shaped by my hope in the Lord. I recall my youth, weary and stumbling, but also how God continually renewed my strength. His loving guidance, like a constant presence over me, has been my anchor (Psalm 32:8). Even in the mundane, I’ve witnessed His hand, especially during my high school years. In the 1980s, my days were filled with music, Bible quizzing, art, and babysitting—seemingly ordinary, but deeply significant. I was passionate about studying Scripture for Bible quizzing, memorizing verses from the New Testament, and reciting… Read More

  THE AMAZING INFLUENCE OF MY GRANDMA

  My Grandma was an amazing person. I will never forget her; that would be impossible. So much of me, and who I am as a young woman, is because of her powerful influence. She watched me take my first breath as I entered this world, and I watched her take her last breath as she left it. She has lived with me from day one, for my entire life. The first thing I did every morning for as long as I can remember was to go say good morning to her. And she has been such a strong inspiration of… Read More
