"When we take time for God, we are refueled. It changes the way we perceive our lives and suddenly, all our burdens feel lighter." | http://www.boldcafe.org/blog/ways-add-lent #boldcafe #welca #wearewelca #Lent

"I cannot know God outside of God’s people. It’s an ancient truth, but one so easily forgotten. We like to privatize our relationship with God and pretend it is “me and Jesus.” But it can never be “me and Jesus.” For better or worse, what we know about God is immeasurably influenced by those in our lives. If a person has never—not once—known a relationship where she was valued and loved unconditionally, why would she believe that God feels that way about her?"--Michelle Terry | http://www.boldcafe.org/blog/honoring-saints #boldcafe #welca #wearewelca Photo by Jim Veneman.

". . . the greatest gift that she has given me is her creatureliness. Her little sighs, whimpers, yawns–all the things that remind me that the two of us are animals created for each other by a loving God."--Mary Button | http://www.boldcafe.org/blog/happy-tails | #NationalDogDay #puppy #furbaby #faith #boldcafe #wearewelca
