It's Valentine's Day—time to share some stories about love and how it motivates us to do what we do (like ministries and building renovations) at REZ church.

Once a year, the Methodist circuit riding preachers would meet together in celebration and thankfulness, not knowing how many would still be alive or when they could gather again. We talk about how this relates to us today.

January in Minnesota can leave us feeling sorry for ourselves, especially if we have friends in Florida or Arizona who remind us how much warmer it is elsewhere. But pouting won't help.

We could worry about many things as we sit inside and stare out at the snow and cold – jobs, family, nation, world. So why does waiting work better than worry?

Stars shine especially bright in the cold January air. We can, too, if we grow instead of grumble this month.

People weren’t made to hibernate, especially Christians. We were made for action, for being doers of the word, and for helping others – even in January.
