To GO with bold love for one another and bowed knees in unity to the Lord. And PRAY the GAFFERS Prayer (in this book) to illuminate Christ in your culture.

You can live this call in your own state. When will you PRAY? What will you PRAY? Who will you influence?

Welcome to Emerald Bay, a small town nestled in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, where everyone knows their neighbors and visitors to the nearby lake are welcomed as friends... Alex Rivers never expected to return to her hometown. But twelve years after graduation, she finds herself back in Emerald Bay, running her Granny Lu's café. It's a far cry from head chef at an upscale restaurant, but life rarely goes according to plan. Instead, Alex finds herself immensely enjoying the work of serving the townsfolk delicious homemade cooking and listening to the local gossip each day from the kitchen at Lulu's. Perhaps this is where she's belonged all along...but a small town can be a double-edged sword, and when Alex stumbles onto a body at the Halloween Harvest Festival, rumors and accusations start to fly. It's particularly troubling when Alex discovers that the victim was a cantankerous customer, and that he was poisoned by a cup of her best friend's handmade artisan tea...which had been bought at Alex's own café. Despite the warning from Deacon Lane, her neighbor/nemesis/chief of police, to stay out of it, Alex can't help but follow the clues to clear the good names of both her best friend and Lulu's Café. But the deeper Alex digs, the more convoluted the mystery becomes, and soon suspects are popping up everywhere. Alex must unravel the tangled web in which she finds herself and identify the real killer, before it's too late and she becomes a victim herself. Join a sassy heroine with a glitchy sixth sense, her loyal canine companion, and an annoyingly charming police chief in this delectable cozy mystery romp full of humor and heart.

Who is God? What is He like? What does He enjoy and love? What is He passionate about? What does He hate and despise? Does He even have these feelings? What might be His motivation for what He says and does? What is His purpose? What are His plans? And how do we fit into all of this? In our humble human-ness it is impossible to truly understand the God of the Universe except for what He chooses to reveal to us. In the Book of Isaiah, God shows us eternal images of Himself to help us understand and grasp who He really is, such as a lamb, a shepherd, a warrior, a savior, and much more. He tells us what He loves and desires, His passions and what angers Him. He clearly longs for a deep, close relationship with mankind and with you. Whether you are new in your relationship with God or have walked with Him a long time, you can find new treasures of God within the book of Isaiah. Yes, the God of the Universe wants to meet with us! He wants to dwell with us and be our God! Let us delve deeper in our relationship with our God as He reveals Himself in the Book of Isaiah.

I wrote these letters to help the people I love and lead at Grace Church follow Jesus better and disciple others. For several years, our team asked me to write this resource. I resisted. "When I have something to say," I said. In 2018, I said "yes." I researched and prayed month after month, multiple times a week, for God to guide the process. When I finally tried to write a book, those closest to me didn't like it. " It doesn't sound like you," they said. (I agreed.) So l rewrote it. They still didn't like it. (Great.) On two runs on March 17th and 29th, 2019, I sensed, "Write by faith," and "Write letters to your 4th generation disciples." So I didn't end up writing a book after all. I wrote letters. And I drew pictures. I pray they help you love Jesus more.

Cheap life in an over controlled cityWednesday, January 16, afternoon I live in a city and follow the kind of over controlled schedule only truly under-employed people can devise. I sleep till I wake and wake till I sleep. By mid-morning, I walk to a café that has become my office. In the evenings, I wander to the waterfront bridge to watch the setting sun or catch some pigeons by the downtown square. Can life get any cheaper and real?
