Wellness Poem by Chris Bunton
Rise up and walk;
when life’s got you down.
Rise up and walk;
your way around town.
When depression sets in;
and you only see the end.
Rise up and walk.
A little here. A little there.
Around the block;
or down a beautiful trail.
Rise up and walk.
If you’re sick;
pray and believe.
Then, rise up and walk.
Trapped in a place?
Rise up and walk.
Use those legs to escape;
and carry you away.
Bored with life?
Bored with those gray, lazy days?
Rise up and walk.
Go see the sites.
Use your super power;
to rise up and walk.
Take yourself away,
from the troubles of any day.

Father’s are under attack It’s Fathers Day and probably the sermons you will hear today, and the things posted on social media, will be attacks on Father’s. Little jabs talking about how they need to do better, and are the leaders of the household or some other form of guilt and shame. And we wonder…
Not As The World Gives
God Doesn’t Do Like The World Does. Jesus said. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”—John 14:27 (John 14:1-31–in context) When God calls us, and we turn to Him, confessing Jesus…
Does God Feel Distant?
He is with you. Believe it. There are times in our lives when we feel that God has abandoned us. It seems that He doesn’t hear and we don’t feel His presence or see His movements in our lives. I have experienced the same. God has opened my eyes to the reality of it, and…
