Dear Travel Companions,

The spots available on our first big trip are filling fast! You have until April 21 to take advantage of $100 off early bird registration!

James and I are so excited to have a whole new group of friends to travel with. We will be hosting several trips each year, some within our own country and some to explore other countries and cultures! We will also do some weekend getaways to enjoy our wonderful local sights. Sometimes I tend to forget about them because they are right under my nose. I hope that you will join us for a trip, a getaway or even just a travel presentation! Collette Travel has so many wonderful pictures and such great info about our exciting destinations!

Blessings,

James & Sheila

Simplify Jesus, who is the Gosple, said all the commandments and laws hinge on two: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul and then Love your neighbor as yourself.

Is it possible that we have made the work and rules of the church so complicated that we have lost the essence of what Jesus intended?

Transform Jesus, who is the Gosple, when He was eating dinner with tax collectors and sinners, said that those who are well don’t need a doctor, but the sick do, and this is who He came for.

The reality is that we are all sick and need his healing. Is it possible that the church has become so polished on the outside that we have begun thinking of ourselves as not needing any further treatment?

Engage Jesus, who is the Gosple, said to a woman at the well who he should not of even been talking to, that He was living water and that a drink from Him would cause you never to thirst again.

Is it possible that the church has forgotton the rules of engagement? Instead of taking the living water to where it is needed most, are we saying, “clean up and come in here where we are for a drink”?
