Posted in: What Do You Call Your Benevolence Ministry?
I love this question. Not sure my church has a designated name but will check into further and also discuss with others.
Posted in: What Ministry Topics Would You Like to Talk About This Year?
Great suggestion, Cindy. I'll put some thought into this and try to generate some discussion and feedback around what churches are doing related to creation care.

This is powerful and counter-cultural. Thank you for sharing.
Posted in: Let's Talk Podcasts! What Are Your Favorites?
This is an amazing list! I had 3 hours in the car last night and am now a big fan of 'On Being' with Krista Tippett. Did you catch her interview with Eugene Peterson? Really interesting.
I'm also a big fan of Jen Hatmaker's podcast. You've given me lots to check out!

Posted in: Some Dos and Don'ts from My Recent Attempt to Memorize Psalm 1
Thank you so much for your encouraging comment, Eric. I loved getting a peek inside your family life and found so many great takeaways in what you wrote. I have also found music to be a huge help in memorizing Scripture ("...so while the written notation may look a little crazy at times, hopefully the melody and tune are catchy enough to remember") and Sunday School songs have helped God's Word stick with me to this day. I love your creativity in writing the songs yourself and your passion for sharing them with others. Sadly the link did not work on my end. Let me know if I can help get it posted. I think your comment could start a whole new conversation!
Posted in: Discover Your Bible With Crossroads Prison Ministry
Seeing this comment years later and would like to add a second plug for Crossroads! I have been a mentor for a little over two years now and it has been incredibly enriching (keeping me planted in the Word and learning with and from those in prison).

Thanks for this Diane! I was overwhelmed at just one chapter but learned so much in the process. Great advice from Ray VanderLaan.
I also love how you put scripture to music with your grandchildren. What fun and such an eternal impact!
