Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. – Philippians 4:8 It’s been awhile since I’ve taken the time to write about what God is doing in my life. In a nutshell, I … Continue reading

The Call to Discipleship (by Len Winneroski)
“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” “Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the … Continue reading
A Sword and a Trowel (by Len Winneroski)
There is a lot of confusion these days on what it means to be a man. This can be highlighted by the fact that executive order 14168, entitled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” was recently signed by the President of the United States of America. As … Continue reading
Thirst (by Len Winneroski)
“After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is … Continue reading
Forgiven (by Len Winneroski)
Today I would like to introduce you to my cousin, Billy Winneroski. Billy is a walking miracle, truly… I’m going to tell you the story about how Billy and I met in this morning’s manna, but I would STRONGLY encourage you to watch and listen to Billy’s incredible story of victory in Jesus in his … Continue reading
Moving from a ROI to a ROE Mindset (by Len Winneroski)
I told my adult boys in my Jesus is Our Only Hope Bros text group that I gave away six bags of Mad Scientist Coffee today. I didn’t sell a single bag. I gave away two bags for a silent auction for a Make a Wish fundraiser that will help a little boy who has … Continue reading
The Stool of a Wise Man (by Joel Young)
When my great-grandfather and great-grandmother passed away, the adults in our family sifted through the house to take items by which to remember them. You may be familiar with this awkward ritual. Many looked for valuable items – things of monetary value. Some, like my mother, looked for knick-knacks that sparked fond memories of her … Continue reading
Dry Bones (by Len Winneroski)
“Elisha died and was buried. Now Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring. Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. When the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man came to life and stood up on his … Continue reading
Pride Lurks in Beauty (by Len Winneroski)
Have you ever noticed that when you walk into a room full of people your eyes are “naturally” drawn to the most handsome man or the most beautiful woman in the room? Or if you are walking through a parking lot aren’t our eyes “naturally” drawn to the most expensive and beautiful car in the … Continue reading
Chewbaccan Gift (by Len Winneroski)
“Joy is the serious business of Heaven.” – C. S. Lewis This past week an ordinary mother named Candace Payne posted a video of herself laughing hysterically while wearing a talking Chewbacca mask on her Facebook page. Amazingly, this silly video went viral and Candace has helped millions of people get in touch with their inner … Continue reading
Spiritual Obesity (by Len Winneroski)
As I approach the half-century mark in age I’ve been thinking a lot about my life. I guess that you could call it a mid-life crisis of sorts. Last year I bought a 2013 Dodge Challenger, which I drove for a few months and sold when common sense caught up with me, and this year … Continue reading
Living Memories (by Len Winneroski)
Memories are an interesting thing. There are some memories that bring a smile to my face and warmth to my heart, and there are other memories that I can dredge up that make me sad or angry. Have you ever noticed that memories that are correlated with periods of intense emotion, like the birth of … Continue reading
Broken (by Len Winneroski)
I like to pretend that I have it all together. I mean some days I feel like my mind is as sharp as a razor, my faith is as big as a mountain, and I can walk on water. But the truth is, other days I walk around in a fog, my faith is more … Continue reading
Poisoned Catalysts (by Len Winneroski)
About five years ago I wrote a manna entitled Kinetic Faith. This devotional was about the role of catalysts in chemical reactions and life reactions. Catalysts bring two things together to make something new. The catalysts don’t become part of the new, larger, molecule, they release the new chemically bonded chemicals to go off to join together two … Continue reading
Man of God (by Len Winneroski)
What is a man of God? How does a man of God differ from a man of the world? Is the title “man of God” reserved for priests and pastors? This morning I was reading 1 Timothy, chapter 6. Paul referred to Timothy as a “man of God” in this letter and laid out some … Continue reading
“That” Room… (by Laura Currier)
It is an awful reality we could never have imagined. We have a room in our house… the one at the top of the stairs on the left, right next to ours that our son DIED in…. “That” room is now our GUEST room. Some folks coming from out of town for a visit to … Continue reading
Hearts on Fire (by Len Winneroski)
I’m not the handiest guy in the world but I fix stuff sometimes because I’m cheap. One of the things that I replaced recently was our ventless gas logs. We live in Indiana where the temperature can range from -20 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit from one week to the next during the winter. The old … Continue reading
Wrestling with God (by Len Winneroski)
I was a horrible wrestler in high school. During my first year as a wrestler, I got pinned every single match. I went out for wrestling because I was too little to play football or basketball and I really wanted a varsity letter jacket to impress the girls. Wrestling was hard. I had to lose … Continue reading
Blind Luck (by Len Winneroski)
I just finished reading Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow’s books, A Briefer History of Time and The Grand Design. I have always loved physics. I obtained a minor in physics from Central Michigan University. I mean, isn’t it awesome that Einstein was able to show the world how energy is related to matter (E = … Continue reading
Trust in God (by Forest E. Getter IV)
We have talked about faith and love. And we must have them both. But faith means little without trust. I can say I have faith in God, but until I take the next step and give complete control of my life over to God and trust that God will lead me on the path he … Continue reading
Recycled Glory (by Len Winneroski)
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold. “‘Make an altar of earth for me and sacrifice on it … Continue reading

I Play for Him (by Len Winneroski)
Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him … Continue reading
I Feel…(by Debrah S. Bernier)
Lord, I hear Your gentle voice In the softly falling rain. I feel Your mighty presence And my troubles are down the drain. I feel Your tender eyes Watching all that I do.

Bologna, Apples and Prayer (by Len Winneroski)
“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.” … Continue reading
Molecules, Mirrors and the Master (by Len Winneroski)
“Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires, but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.” Romans 8:5, NIV One of the great mysteries of life is chirality. Carbon atoms can have different hybridization states … Continue reading
