After three and a half years, and prayerful consideration I’ve come to the place where it’s time for me to step down from online ministry to better serve my family. Since it was also a good time for many of our writers to put down their pens, we decided to make this, July issue, our [...]

Farewell from CWO
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Sunny Shell Interviews Anna Jackson
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009We are blessed to be joined this month by Anna Jackson, owner of the online store, “Evangelism Stuff.” Anna and her husband Dale have a unique way of encouraging the world to consider their faith, and to see that life here on earth is temporal, while life in Christ is eternal. Ann is also a [...]
How Faithfulness Makes a Genius
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Ten thousand hours is a good benchmark—that’s one hour a day, five days a week, for forty years (with two weeks of vacation each year!). If every Christian decided to spend 10,000 hours developing their capacity in a single cultural domain (painting, stress fracture analysis, genomic sequencing, you name it) and also 10,000 hours on [...]
Freedom in Harmonious Living
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Dear Sandy: Our family life can be so helter-skelter. Is there anything you do to help keep your family “together” not just physically, but also mentally and spiritually? On Sunday our family gathered in the living room to talk about business. Not work-related business but family business. We came to do business with our leader. [...]
What God Says
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Have you ever felt like God was speaking to you? Maybe it wasn’t in an audible voice, but in a still small whisper to your heart, an insistent urgency that won’t go away and is confirmed in things people say, verses you read and other “coincidences” that happen. When my husband Curt and I determined [...]
Do You Think I’m Insecure?
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous – everyone hasn’t met me yet. – Rodney Dangerfield I usually feel pretty good about myself when I wake up—for the five minutes I refrain from looking in the mirror. That’s when the voices start: “your thighs have more dimples than [...]
Time to Declutter
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Do you have too much stuff? I can relate! For some reason we seem to end up with a lot of excess things that we just might be able to use “someday.” We get nice “hand me downs” from relatives who are downsizing, we plan a move to a new house and hang on to [...]
Farewell and God Bless
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009It is with sadness that I write these words. It is time for me to end writing this column. As most of you are aware, I have had a very difficult year or so, and right now my heart is not into writing anymore. So, after much prayer and thinking things through, I have decided [...]
Summer Skin Care
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Summer’s here and so are the high temperatures! It’s time to lighten up… on our skin care and makeup. Most likely you will be spending more time outside at the pool, beach and in the sun–all the more reason to take care of your skin suit and keep it healthy and glowing (not greasy). Summer [...]
Are You Free to Be Yourself?
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Like many aspiring writers, I have a blog. I wasn’t contributing to it regularly for several months until recently when I was inspired by the idea of freedom. I started thinking how a blog is the perfect place to explore things. It’s like a journal of your thoughts that you open up and say, “Here. [...]
