How To Decorate For Fall On A Budget
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this time of year! I want to pull out my sweaters and boots and decorate for fall. Of all the seasons, fall is the easiest and least expensive to decorate. Walk out your front door and you have found your inspiration and resources.
Adding autumn touches of decor to your home will help you transition into the new season with excitement of the passing of the year.
From the exterior to the interior of your home, fall decor colors can be rich and robust or subtle and subdued.
Here are a lot of ideas to inspire Read More
Pastor Granillo: …With Liberty And Justice For All
By Pastor Raul GranilloWe have rules in our home; I dare say most families do. Our children know that there are rules for using the computer, for watching TV, for how they speak to each other, for how they treat each other’s property, and for just about everything relational we can think of.
These rules are designed to keep the peace, teach respect, create a safe environment, and provide many other skills that will benefit our children through their lives.
Rules and laws are a part of life, but to what end? In our world we find that there are many rules and laws that we must follow under the threat Read More

Coaching Café: Catabolic Vs. Anabolic Choice
Coaching Café:Catabolic vs. Anabolic Choice
Many of us walk around feeling like we have limited choices in many aspects of our lives. Take notice of how many times a day you say the words have to, should, and need to. Whenever you feel like you must do something, you’re in Level 1 energy – you’re a victim or at the effect of your thoughts or circumstances.
In fact, when you’re faced with a task or something to do, there are five basic ways you can respond, and of them, only one is by full conscious choice.
The five ways of responding are “I won’t,” “I have to,” “I need to,” “I want Read More
Griggs: Dateline Washington, D.C. 2015
By DAVID GRIGGSSpitfires to Space Capsules
From Spitfires to Space Capsules, the National Air and Space Museum keeps getting better with age. The wonderful sky mural by Eric Sloane still covers one huge wall, and “Spirit of St. Louis” still greets visitors.
But in the 30 years since I last visited this museum, there have been many wonderful additions. I especially enjoyed all the new space exploration exhibits, especially the Mars Rover “Curiosity” and its travels on the red planet.
While the museum itself is free, there was a charge for a couple of the special exhibits. Read More

Pastor Granillo: …Indivisible…
By Pastor Raul GranilloPaul wrote to the churches, “It was he [Jesus] who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers” (Ephesians 4:11).
When reading this passage, it shouldn’t take long to realize that every one of these positions is for the sake of serving others through teaching, equipping, or mentoring.
In fact, Paul makes this clear to the readers by adding that the purpose of these positions are, “to prepare God’s people for works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up” (Ephesians 4:12). The body of Read More
