God had a change of plans for us, and soon we were moving to Pennsylvania.  I felt sad to leave our church family, but also excited.  My dad was going to pioneer a new church.  We had to live in a tent for a few weeks, but God had a nice ranch house for us…

My dad attended Elim Bible Institute for three years.  He studied the Bible, grew in his understanding of God, and life got very exciting.  He became quite involved in our home church and would often tell everyone about all the things he was learning in Bible school.  Many members of my extended family attended that…

“Rise and shine for the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” Those were the words that my sister and I woke up to as our dad, Charles Wesley Elwell, would throw open our bedroom door and flick on the lights.  Daddy was serious about serving Jesus.  But it hadn’t always been that way. …

It was dark and the fires of dinner time had died to a glowing smolder.  Peter had just arrived that afternoon and no one wanted to leave.   A young man in the back stood and said, “Peter, tell us again about the fish.”  He’d told the story the last time he had visited, but…

His lungs ached for him…

The servant of a faraway king, stood before King Hezekiah, shouting for all the people to hear, “Listen up you people.  Your king can not save you.  Your army is defeated.  There is no hope.  You will die in the streets and your children along with you.  Lay down your arms.  Even your God can…

Peter walked around the corner of the building.  The doors were locked and the windows securely latched.  He didn’t really think he could get in, but he had to try.  The people inside were stressed to the point of panic.  Obviously they had secured the building.  What he didn’t expect was the little girl’s eyes…

I have bad hair days.  Those of you who watch my videos know that my hair has a will of its own.  Some days it’s flat and some days it’s fluffy.  Sometimes I can make it curl and other days it’s stick straight.  Because my hair was so straight when I was little, my mother…
