How Deep Is Your Well?
The worshipers stood in awe, obviously inspired by the familiar lyrics systematically wedged between the lines of musical notation on the yellowed and worn pages of the well-used hymnal. With great anticipation they listened carefully for their cue to join in, bringing their corporate offering of praise.
A Bun Dance
Sister Georgia, dressed in black contrasted only by the white lace handkerchief clutched in her hand, walked away from the graveside of her husband. Having laid him peacefully to rest after 65 years of marriage, she returned to her home escorted by her three sons and their families. Comforted by the fact that she had an abiding relationship with Jesus, she clung to her memories fearful of forgetting Brother Ray’s smile, his touch, or even his scent.
Valley of Vision
The darkness is thick, as if it can be pierced asunder with my sword. My shield is weighed down by the heaviness of clouds. My helmet is wet with dew, soaked with sweat from my brow. My eyes are open, yet I do not see. My enemy provokes me day and night. I will not succumb!
Hussopos' Mission
To some, their time may be but a fleeting moment in all of eternity, but to Hussopos time evades the boundaries of seasons allotted to man. Springing forth with life, he was fashioned to touch man’s needs in a most unique way. From his first appearance in the garden of earth’s origin, Hussopos’ task was to grow strong for a purpose none other could fulfill.
Hezekiah's Blooms
Grandma cleared out the large room upstairs except for chairs, a cutting table, and the quilting frame. She set out thimbles, needles, thread, and scissors. Grandma always looked forward to this time of year … the insects were gone but there was soon to be a buzz of activity in her house. For years it had been customary for women from the nearby farms to gather at the first snow.
Thanks, But No Thanks!
Based on a true story, Adrienne’s dad wanted her to take the final course offered by the local Red Cross. He was always proud of her accomplishments; she couldn’t stand the thought of disappointing him. But she knew he didn’t understand her fears or her limitations. She wasn’t lifeguard material—she was a good swimmer but she lacked the strength and confidence she so admired in her peers.
Cecelia's Surprise
Cecilia tried hard to be a perfect housekeeper, always keeping their home neat and tidy. It had been a busy day with Church in the morning, dinner with the family and Church again that evening. Although the service ran a little later than usual that night, they went to the restaurant with their friends as usual.
Exercising Faith
My name is Faith Wilson. I’m 22 years old. I was born prematurely at 25 weeks which left me with some challenges in life. My body may not be perfect, but no one can dampen my spirit. After all, I’m Faith.
Silver Watch On a Chain
The approaching steam engine could be heard in the distance. People began to scurry, collecting bags, grabbing children, and embracing loved ones. Only a short time and they would embark on a most memorable trip.
There Was No Trouble

Precious Memories Preserved
The Corey’s house was an old Victorian-style home that had been in the family since the late 1870’s when it was built. The house had several stairways and even some hidden passageways—plenty of opportunities for adventure. But no one ever attempted opening the door to the mysterious room on the second floor … no one, that is, until now.
Fists Full of Wild Daisies
A true story of an adoptee's reunion with her birth mother.
No Matter Who - No Matter Where

Nehemiah Was a Bullfrog
We know Nehemiah wasn’t the bullfrog, Jeremiah was! But maybe, just maybe Nehemiah really was a bullfrog in his own right. He took some big leaps when it came to restoring the broken walls of Jerusalem. Join the multitudes that stood in the presence of God for one of the most notable worship services recorded in the Word of God. Sing along to the tune of “Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog” as recorded by Three Dog Night.
