One Day with Manu

You may not feel comfortable giving your name to a total stranger. But aren't you glad God knows it?

Each Kindness

Small acts of kindness can change the world. But what happens when we ignore those opportunities God brings before us?

I Want One

Getting what we want doesn’t always turn out so good, which (hopefully) gives us pause to reconsider. Or, to put it biblically, where is your treasure?

The Giving Tree

Is it really more blessed to give than to receive? Is sacrificial giving sensible? Who would give everything away to ungrateful jerks? (Hint: it’s not a tree.)

Goodnight Moon

No matter what our age, we can all use some stories that bring us peace.

Berenstain Bears and The Truth

It’s simple: lying to others breaks trust at some level. So is trust something that can never be put back together once it’s broken?

Alexander and the Very Bad Day

Sort of a “why do bad things happen to good people” message, with the added benefit of hope over the troubles of this world. 

Hidden Treasures: Petunia

A goose teaches us how wisdom comes from reading, i.e., a bible on our bookshelf (or in our phone) doesn’t help unless we read it.

Don’t Poke the Bear

Here’s a grizzly story where we learn adults can be bullies, Christians can act ungodly, and words (spoken or written) can really hurt (but also heal).

Hog Wild

God uses a food lesson to teach a story about people…people we might treat as unclean pigs, showing no respect, and deeming them unworthy.
