“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." ~Matthew 5:13-16

Ouch! My Head Hurts


Some days I feel like I’m beating my head against a brick wall talking to my teenager.  I’m new to this stage of life, so those of you who have already entered this phase, I applaud you as you have already ventured into this crazy, unpredictable, sometimes frustrating and often rewarding stage of life. J

I have a new appreciation for parents of teenagers because it’s hard to accept a child moving away from the stage of needing my constant attention to sending them off to test their wings.  Sometimes I just plain don’t like it!

If you are not yet in this stage of life, pray today for a friend who is there and/or send them a message of encouragement.  And most importantly pray for the teens in your family as well as your church family… they are dealing with some hard issues and sometimes awkward situations. They desperately need our prayers!
