In describing heaven, I once heard a well-meaning speaker declare, “If it’s important to you, it will be in heaven.”
I almost fell out of my seat.
There are plenty of “important” things in this life I am quite sure will not be in heaven, even stuff I really like and enjoy. But have you ever stopped to consider just where people get their ideas about heaven? And whether or not those ideas can be believed?

Over the past 3 decades of my ministry, I’ve performed some 80 weddings, and done so in a number of different locations and scenarios. I’ve found myself officiating ceremonies in cathedrals, churches, chapels, at country clubs, on the beach, overlooking golf courses, and even in the middle of the woods.

“You know, you really shouldn't read Revelation. Seriously. It’s only going to frustrate and confuse you.”
Sound familiar? Ever had thoughts like that?
If you’re like many Christians, Revelation can seem like an insurmountable obstacle.

The story of Noah is one of the most epic tales in human history. An account involving faith and depravity, deliverance and destruction. Scripture paints a portrait of an ancient world, dark and destined for wrath.

I have been working at Harvest House for 13 years in August. As the Accountant at HH, I produce reporting as well as the monthly financial statements for the company. My favorite thing about working at HH is the sense of family here. There are times of joy, times of sorrow, as well as, times of chaos, which are all things we as individuals deal with in our own immediate families. The people I work with here are one of the other things I enjoy about HH. This company is full of compassionate, caring, and understanding individuals which today is sometimes hard to come by in the working world. Harvest House is an enjoyable place to be each day. People might be surprised to know that I have known my husband since grade school. We attended the same grade school, he then moved around with his family while his father worked, and came back to attend part of middle school and all of high school here in Eugene. We began our relationship in 2001 and we have now been married 10 years this August and have 3 wonderful children.
