When Death Knocks On Your Door

Written by Molly Munoz on . Posted in Opinion

A snowy Sunday afternoon meant for fuzzy pajamas, hot chocolate and a Christmas movie quickly turned into one of the worst days of my life when my dad almost lost his life. During this experience, I saw God’s goodness firsthand and was reminded of how He is always in control regardless of our circumstances.

Trial by Seventh-Grader

Written by Jack Gienke on . Posted in Opinion

One of the most frightening times of my life was when I found out that I would be in charge of the conduct, schedule and safety of a group of seventh-grade boys at a church ministry’s summer camp, but looking back on it, I wouldn’t change a thing.

That’s me, Jack Gienke, camp counselor, at the top-right of this photo with the “W” cap, ready to take care of several middle school boys whose parents trusted me with their most-prized possessions. But as I reflect back on that summer of 2015, and reflect further back on the time of my life when I was around their age, I recall fond memories and life-changing experiences for me and for these boys.       Photo by Jack Gienke
