Jim Attrell shares how gratitude turned to generosity and generosity turned into blessings in his life. Do you have a story to tell? Contact Alyssa Robinson at alyssar@tmumc.org :
Thirty-five years ago I
arrived in Houston from Alberta, Canada; forced to leave my homeland due to a
serious downturn in the oil industry in Canada. I was forced into bankruptcy
after my oldest daughter was hospitalized for a year and my insurance ran out.
My car was repossessed; I was unemployed and divorced...

Rev. Clay Horton has a personal reflection about Lent:
"Daddy, do you still
love me?"
I've been hearing that
question a lot lately. Brenna is 4 years old and is really starting to
learn about cause and effect. She’s learning to push boundaries. She's at the stage where she's "testing" her mother and me. Isn't parenting wonderful?
When she makes bad

Ted Hyde shares how his recent visit to the Dallas Holocaust Museum re-opened his eyes to a side of humanity we wish to forget:
How do you feel about discrimination? How do you feel about hatred? What actions would you take if you witnessed

Not that long ago, neighbors in central Europe began to
witness odd things. First there were unfair

Denise Robinson shares how she learned that serving is more than completing a task:
I love going on short-term mission trips. I love to travel. I love to serve. I
love meeting new people. I love
new adventures.
When asked, I jumped at the
chance to go to Tijuana, Mexico to serve with Amor Ministries as youth groups
spent their Spring break building houses and holding neighborhood Vacation
Bible Schools. Most of my serving
was behind the scenes.
One day,
however, I was...
