The Story

HAVE YOU EVER JUST KNOWN Have you ever really just known? I mean truly known? Not the "I think", or "I feel like", but the "I know beyond a shadow of a doubt" kind of known? That was us. We just knew! There aren't many times in my life that I can say I truly knew that God was asking me to do something. I have had plenty of "I think God wants me to" and "I feel like God ...

Heart for Education

Almost by accident, my husband Derek and I have become career educators. As a result, we talk about education A LOT in our home What is a good education, who is getting a good education and who isn't, and how can we improve the educational system? These questions have taken on a new urgency now that we are asking ourselves a far more personal question: Where we will educ...

We Are the Church

I had the privilege of being at Westminster's Building dedication in May of 1991. I was 19 years old. I can still remember the freshly laid sod, new gravel in the side parking lot and trailers still out front from the last minute preparations. To have a church building had been a pressing goal since Westminster was founded seven years earlier in 1984. A lot of blood, sweat...

The Lies of Anxiety and Peace from God

I will never forget my first day of school going to kindergarten. I specifically remember being nervous about school. I didn't know what to expect and there was so much uncertainty. What would the day look like? Who would be there? Would I know anyone? Would the teacher be nice? What if I didn't like it? What if I did the wrong thing and everyone made fun of me? What if I ...

Predominantly, where do families pray together? Yep...at mealtime. Often, the best discussions we have all week in our home are at the dinner table (evening meal for those of you who insist on calling it supper). :) We e...

30 Packets of Ketchup

I just recently took a marketing class that discussed the importance of having a title that would grab the reader's attention, because a large percentage of readers go on to the next article if the title seems boring. For some reason, this title kept popping into my head and I just decided to stick with it. Anyway, let's get on to something that actually makes a little bit...

Eulogy for Pappy

Good afternoon, my name is Harold Louis Coleman III. I am named after my Dad and after my Granddad, Pappy. Growing up, either by listening to Pappy's stories or just watching him, I learned a lot. He taught me several things that I would like to share with you. First, anytime I got ready to go somewhere, whether with high school friends, off to LSU or to start a new baseb...
