“Relationships”
Relationships fail when we try to write scripts for them.
Relationships fail when we try to control them. They also fail when we see others in our lives mainly for our own benefit.
1John 4:8 “The one who does not love does not know God. For God is love.”
When we recognize that we are in this world to love each other – not to change or to use others, our relationships will become healthy and life giving.
Book Nook
Books can give us information and insights, make us laugh, take us new places, make us wonder, and keep our attention. They help us relax and can even help us to sleep. The next BOOK NOOK recommendation is Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picolt. Every book Jodi writes is a wonderful read. But a particular favorite is Nineteen Minutes. CCM’s founder, Marcia Thompson, believes that every parent and high school student would benefit from reading this book.

Attitude of Gratitude
Attitude of Gratitude
Did you hear about the man who gave up his seat on the bus to a woman? She was so surprised, she fainted. When she came to, she thanked the man — and he fainted. Sometimes it takes an exaggeration to make a point, doesn’t it? Simple expressions of gratitude, appreciation, and thankfulness are so rare that they shock us when we experience them. We all can find things to be grateful for. Someone once said, “If you can’t be thankful for what you have, be thankful for what you’ve escaped.” The Bible has a simple suggestion, give thanks in all things.
Gratitude is a great attitude to develop. It makes us more content, more generous, and more in touch with our loving creator who wants to bless us abundantly. Thanksgiving seems like a great time to put our attitude of gratitude plan into action! You know it — we are grateful for YOU!

“Gifts”
“Gifts”
Time – Space – Grace
What a gift “time, space and grace” are. God truly knows the value of these gifts as He extends them to us each day. How wonderful it would be if we in turn, would offer these gifts to others; time to be renewed and to learn, space to be free and to grow, and the grace to do all of the above.
1 John 3:14a tells us “We know that we have passed out of death into life because we love the brethren.” As we gift others, so we are gifted by God.
Who in your life needs you to give them the gift of time, space and grace?
To Heaven and Back
To Heaven and Back
The book “To Heaven and Back” was written by Dr. Mary Neil who is a renowned board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon. She described her previous spiritual connection as one that had ebbed and flowed throughout most of her childhood and adulthood. That is, until the fateful day when her spirit took a journey well beyond most people’s comprehension.
As a very physically active individual, it was not surprising that Dr. Mary and her husband decided to join friends on a challenging kayaking trip to southern Chile. It was a decision that changed her life forever and more importantly – her relationship with God.
Neil vividly recounts the very moment she felt her spirit leave this earth and become present with angels. She describes detailed conversations which took place while her loved ones feverishly struggled to locate her body underwater and begin life saving resuscitation. It has been estimated that it was a frantic 10-15 minute period before Dr. Mary was pulled from the rushing water. Neil was told by the angels that her work on earth was not finished. Her difficult physical and emotional recovery took over 1 ½ years.
Dr. Mary Neil describes her intention in writing the book as “I want people to know that God’s unconditional love for each of us is intense, complete, and is reflected in all the heavens. Neil’s book will capture your attention and leave you searching for answers. Once started, you will find the book difficult to put down.
