Small Beginnings, Big God
Rachel Anne | Nov 19, 2009Pushed back behind the medicine bin, on a shelf in my kitchen cupboard, sits a square ceramic trivet. It is the first thing I ever painted. When I look at the simple grapevine wreath design, made years ago in a tole painting class at my local hobby store, I have to smile. It smacks […]

Linnae | Nov 18, 2009Hey there. I’m Linnae. (that’s “Lyn-Nay” for those of you who are wondering how in the world to pronounce that!) I’ve been with Going Beyond Ministries since January ’09. I can’t believe it’s almost been a year already. I was first introduced to Jerry and Priscilla in September 2007 – at that time I was […]
Read MoreMore on “Good Hair!”
Priscilla | Nov 16, 2009I’ve LOVED reading your comments about hair! If you want to see how this hair discussion all started, just click here. It’s so interesting how something on top of our heads could cause so much drama inside of them. Let’s just be honest, at one point or another in our lives, we’ve all lost […]
Read MoreGood Hair
Nov 15, 2009I’ve been thinking alot about hair lately. And not just mine. You see, there’s been alot of candid talk about women and their hair recently. Comedian Chris Rock just released a documentary (I’ve not seen it) that uncovers some of the truths and myths about Black women and their locks. The movie has seemed […]
Read MoreHelp! I’m in Women’s Ministry
Rachel Anne | Nov 12, 2009I was recently asked to help lead the women’s ministry in my local church. I was pretty excited about it until I was given 3 large boxes of paperwork and history from the past 20 years! The ladies who served before our current team did such a fantastic job (and were so organized) that I […]

Priscilla | Nov 11, 2009Hey sisters, Jerry and I are so blessed to be connected with LifeWay. Most folks just know this ministry as a local bookstore in their area. What many don’t know is that this is a HUGE company in Nashville. When I say HUGE, I mean it. The campus takes up one whole city block in […]
Read MoreHere’s to the Moms…
Nov 10, 2009Hey sister. I’ve stopped trying to be the perfect mother. I’m exhausted. You too? When Jerry and I started having our children 7 years ago, I had an image of what the role of motherhood would look like. It included nothing less than a peaceful home, filled with the wonderful scents of fresh baking […]
Read MoreMeet Carla!
Nov 09, 2009I want you to meet Carla Robertson, our researcher on the Going Beyond team. We met her years ago when I posted a sign at Dallas Theological Seminary looking for a student who needed to make a few extra dollars. As a young mom, I was looking for someone to just come alongside me in […]
Read MoreJonah Study: That’s a Wrap!
Nov 06, 2009I snapped a few photos from this week’s taping. The sessions went amazingly smoothly, and were divinely devoid of technical glitches. There was so much prayer that went into this project, I’m really not surprised. Lifeway’s crew, led by the awesome Debbie Beavers, all stopped down to pray before each night’s taping. How cool is […]
