I am so proud of our church family! The way you have reached out to stay connected to the body of Christ has been wonderful. Life has thrown us a curveball and the people of CrossRidge have responded unified as a church family. Ministry continues, although it looks…

A Different Easter But Same Savior

I grew up in church and pretty much if the doors were open, I was there. I’ve had more potlucks than homework assignments and sat in more pews and sang more verses of “Just As I Am” than a Fitbit can count. I remember my dad telling people he had a drug problem growing up. He would say his parents’ drug him to church all the time. Obviously, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. My parents were always…

Protect Your House

Not long ago, my fridge at home went out and we needed another one. Being one always looking for a deal I found an open box buy that was in our price point. They delivered it but unfortunately, it didn’t work. Maybe there was a reason it was an open box? Anyways, the place we bought it had a more expensive model that they gave us for the same price. It was delivered, and it worked. Yay! No more living…

Don’t Be Normal

Making goals can be a good thing and can help us stay focused and on track on the things that matter most.

Eating better and exercising regularly are very common and most people can agree on how to do each. Simply put, eat less and get moving. However, when it…
