In these day's of Social Media - and instant communication - what do you do to stop & consider your communications, before you hit send? Do you stop?

I wonder if we paused a moment to consider what our thoughts might convey - would we still hit send?

Is Purple a Thanksgiving color? It is this year - with Covid-19 cases on the rise, our being classified in the 'Purple zone', restaurants closing, businesses, & schools losing traction again, church gatherings remain limited, there is much that seeks to rob our communities attention & along with it, our hope.

Where's survivalist Bear Grylls when you need him?

Have you seen National Geographic’s “Running Wild” on Disney+? Bear takes a celebrity - think comedian, model, or actress - into extreme conditions such as slot canyons in Arizona desert heat, jungle swamps of Thailand, or Iceland’s frozen glacier fissures. Really?

What I appreciate most about Bear Grylls, apart from his supreme survival skill, is his indominable spirit. His attitude is one of resilient strength - he simply never gives up - and his environments are extreme! Bear coaches’ real people to keep calm under pressure and creates a community built on trust. He looks for solutions, expecting to find his way through, finding and gathering resources knowing he will use them later – while Armie Hammer tells the camera he’s afraid of heights.

There is so much hope - in finding and giving thanks in all circumstances - Hope. Phil 4:10-13

We are counting our blessings, at CFA. We are so grateful for you. Those we work with, who work so hard to serve others in building communities are working harder during these times. Gathering and giving resources, looking expectantly to the One who provides it all. Giving thanks that He has provided, and that He will continue to provide in His unchanging way. We gratefully give thanks for you.

God bless you, your family, health, and the time you gather together as a community - in person or over Zoom - as we are giving Thanks in all circumstances.

Why Breathing Life into Community?

Breathing Life into Community™ is an initiative born out of the Borderline shooting with 12 lives lost followed the next day by the Woolsey fire which devastated communities from the coast of Malibu to the valley of Thousand Oaks and miles in between. This tragedy impacted people through loss, evacuation, displacement and trauma; 97,000 acres burned, 1,643 structures perished, three people died, and 295,000 people were evacuated and forced to make pivotal, life-altering decisions amidst tumult and great emotion. Community, and the nature of community, was suddenly a concept and a reality that begged to be considered and comprehended. What is community? What does it mean to the individual, the family, to the collective group? What and where do you choose your community to be, as it surely is an active choice? And how do we become a light and positive influence within the community of others? This is not original thought, but an increasingly vital one as we choose each day whether to act with grace and love, recognizing we are all connected, or whether our choices create division and chaos.
