One Sunday morning, the first Sunday in January to be exact, my associate pastor delivered a New Year’s challenge to the congregation.

I grew up knowing that I was supposed to give ten percent of my income back to God.

Reader Reflections
Stories shared by those who have found grace and healing in the quiet moments of faith.
"As I read, I felt God’s presence throughout its pages. I also felt the Holy Spirit gently speaking to my heart, encouraging me to reflect on my own life, my walk with the Lord, and how deeply I love my God. Thank you for sharing your heart and your journey so honestly."
“Ms. Parnell is articulate about her childish thoughts with a memory that is fascinating. The author’s gift of being able to describe situations, scenery, and signs of God’s presence is unbelievable. I felt like I was THERE when Ms. Parnell described the stars, turtles, and minerals in the water during Christmas in the Galapagos.
