Share Potential Garbage or Garbage with Potential By Susan Niswonger / 3 weeks ago Potential Garbage or Garbage with Potential Do you have friends that are avid recyclers, garage sale junkies or maybe just pack rats? I once read a story about a “pack rat.” She had accumulated so much “stuff” that it took a bulldozer to move her treasures to allow the EMT to reach her dead body. […]
Share The core of the Christian Life By Susan Niswonger / last month I read this quote from J. Lee Grady, Charisma Magazine, this morning. I hope it blesses you as it did me. “I believe the book of Psalms is in the middle of the Bible because praise must be at the core of the Christian life.” David was not reserved when He shut himself away with […]
Share Understand Their End By Susan Niswonger / a couple of months ago When I’m feeling just a little envious of others, a little prideful of my experience with God or a little sorry for myself, the 73rd Psalm usually comes to my mind.

Share Hashtag BTW By Susan Niswonger / a couple of months ago Hashtag BTW The 21st Century has become the Golden Age of Communication, hashtag #norealconnection. We are more connected than at any other time in history, yet we have less personal contact with friends and relatives than we had a century ago.

Share Life’s Danger Zone By Susan Niswonger / a few months ago I have been on a life-changing, healthy eating plan since January.

Although Steve said my weight loss goals were too high, I felt sure that one […]
Share When Do I Get Mine? By Susan Niswonger / a few months ago When Do I Get Mine? “I am so tired”, I cried during my morning devotions. “I can’t take another whiner”, I whined. “Where’s mine?” “When do I ever get some?” My kids won’t listen to me, the neighbor didn’t wave, our congregation is getting smaller and even the dog is sick. It sounds so childish […]
Share The Alarm Clock Just Buzzed By Susan Niswonger / a few months ago The Alarm Clock Just Buzzed Sleeping peacefully, snuggled under a cozy quilt, I was suddenly awakened by the shrill sound of an alarm clock. I am known in the family as an “early bird.” My eyes pop open at first light and I hit the floor running. I am the one who walks into the […]
Share Terms and Conditions By Susan Niswonger / a few months ago Terms & Conditions In the last few years, the Internet has become an integral part of our everyday lives. We use it to communicate with loved ones, share pictures and daily activities on social networks, learn what is happening in every country of the world, purchase new toys and sell the old ones. If you […]
Share The Greatest People In The World By Susan Niswonger / a few months ago Have you ever wondered how “the other half” lives, wished your home, car or other possession was like a friend’s or desired any life but your own? We have all allowed our minds to explore the world of, “What if?” I have discovered in the last few months that the best life is the one […]
Share MY LIFE, HIS PLANS By Susan Niswonger / 7 months ago MY LIFE, HIS PLANS Last week I spent a few days with my granddaughters, Mackenzie, Madison and Anabel. We call it “Grandma Camp” and they get someone on one time with Grandma, including sleeping in the same room at night. On Tuesday night, Madison was fast asleep, but Mackenzie was having a hard time settling […]
