Jonah 1:17

Really, God? I have to love not-so-nice people?

June 28, 2020 | by Kelly Irvin| in Blog

Sometimes life lessons take time to learn.  We often have to learn them the hard way. My favorite oncology medical assistant for the past five years had to leave because her husband is in the military and he’s been transferred. She was a sweet, extraordinarily kind, knowledgeable health care professional who jumped through hoops to …

Prayer and the rest of the story

December 1, 2018 | by Kelly Irvin| in Blog

If I recorded my prayer conversations with God, they would sound something like this: Hey God, how’s it going? Yeah, I know. I forgot our appointment yesterday. Go ahead and put it on my tab. I’ll pay up one of these days. It’s already paid for? Cool. Thanks. I’m fine. Of course, you know that’s …

Joy joy joy down in my heart to stay

April 9, 2017 | by Kelly Irvin| in Blog

Remember that old song, “I’ve got a joy, joy, joy down in my heart, down in my heart, to stay?” I thought of it recently when my Sunday school was discussing the difference between joy and happiness. We’re studying 1 John and the topic of joy came up because John wrote to believers this about …

Medicine & Prayer Make Powerful Partners

September 3, 2016 | by Kelly Irvin| in Blog

The other night my husband and I were watching a TV program in which a fictional medical examiner said, “I’m a doctor, I don’t believe (in miracles, in prayer, in God).” Irritated, I turned to Tim and remarked that one did not preclude the others. He rolled his eyes and said, “It’s a TV show.” …
