How Much Are You Worth?
Gene and I bought a home in Guam, the largest purchase of our married life up to that point. We agreed on a purchase price of $75,000 with the seller of a typhoon-secure, concrete, 900-square-foot house on a third of an acre of land in the village of Talofofo.

Living Christ Always
Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the small, daily things of life that I tend to forget who I am and what I’m doing here on earth.
Those of us who have entrusted our lives to the heavenly Father in our Lord Jesus Christ will have tribulation and affliction because we live in this world.
My husband and I have been married almost 36 years. After a year of separation (he was in Kansas completing his leadership training, I was in California at school), my family drove me out to meet him and we were married a couple of days later on July 16, 1981. We barely knew each other. And we both soon discovered that we were very different people.

One Saturday, as I wrote out our bi-weekly check for a certain percentage of our income to put in the church offering as I had for many years, I thought, “Sherry, are you even thinking about what you’re giving and to whom and why?” I realized it had become just a habit, and I had to admit to myself that I wasn’t really giving with purpose.

You’ve entered the great adventure of life, an odyssey of learning, experience, and achievement to attain the lofty goal of loving God first by following in the steps of your Lord Jesus Christ.
