Mountain View - A Different View by Paula Friedrichsen

Christian Living
Fiction: False
While visiting my folks in the Los Angeles area, I passed by a condominium construction site. The almost-finished condos were being built on the side of a mountain and promised panoramic views of the San Fernando Valley. As I drove past, I imagined how delightful it would be to sit on one of those sundecks, sipping morning coffee and enjoying the expansive vista from that vantage point.
But as

Jesus Christ
Fiction: False
The missing years…
As Christmas drew near, I began to wonder what Jesus was like as a child. My grandson is near the same age Jesus would have been when the Magi arrived to worship him. I’m sure that’s what prompted these thoughts.
Scripture gives us a clear picture of Jesus’ birth in a stable, and gives us a glimpse of what Mary and Joseph went through leading up to it. The fact that it

Women in Ministry
Fiction: False
“Oh that we might be fired with a loving ambition to be the disciple whom Jesus loved,
leaning on Jesus’ bosom!” ~ Charles Spurgeon
The women’s ministry team at our church is impassioned about the women we serve. We long to know the needs of our women! We need to know in what ways they are hurting. In what ways we can serve them, love them, and point them toward a deeper and more authe

Mountain View - And On The Seventh Day He Rested By Pam Payne

Creation
Fiction: False
“And on the seventh day He rested.” To most Americans, these six words are familiar. This Scripture from the book of Genesis states plainly how God ended his six days of creation.
I’m sure some of you, like me, marvel at the imagination of God, but nothing brings me to worship quite like it.
Genesis 1:3-8 says, “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God saw that it was g

Mountain View - Finding God’s Peace in Rocky Times By Paula Friedrichsen

Inspirational
Fiction: False
When I was pregnant with my youngest child it was discovered that we had Rh-factor incompatibility. My blood type is Rh negative, and hers is not, and somehow a very small amount of her blood crossed over into my system. This made for a difficult pregnancy which involved constant monitoring by a neo-natal specialist, and eventually an in-utero blood transfusion in the seventh month of gestation.

Inspirational
Fiction: False
I grew up in the Midwest, Oklahoma City to be exact, right in the middle of tornado country, and there, Spring always announced itself in the very same way.
Late in the afternoons the horizon would grow dark as blue black clouds bellowed and burped their way across the sky. I have vivid memories of watching them roll in and knowing their power. My heart would beat faster as anticipation, fear,

Joy
Fiction: False
While I was at the beauty shop a few months back I picked up a one of those cheesy Hollywood magazines to pass the time. Did you know that Cameron Diaz works out one and a half hours every day! The article was accompanied by an expansive layout of pictures showing Cameron coming out of an L.A. fitness center looking cute, tanned, and happy. Tall and beautiful she strides toward her luxury car with

Mountain View - Receiving from God By Paula Friedrichsen

Bible Teaching
Fiction: False
Have you ever struggled to receive something from God? Maybe you read in the Bible that God desires to heal the sick, or provide for material needs, or bring restoration to broken relationships. You’ve seen His promises clearly in His Word, but sometimes you feel like you’re standing just outside the door…never quite able to fully enter into all He has for you.
I’ve felt that way before too. C

Christian Living
Fiction: False
Recently I was at a local ice cream shop where a noisy drama was being played out between a mom, dad, and two adorable little red-headed girls. One of the girls was sitting quietly at a picnic bench with her mommy, happily licking her cone—while the other was squirming, crying, and screaming in her father’s arms. She was having a tantrum and doing it justice, for sure! And as I walked by smiling s

Encouragement
Fiction: False
I read an article this week on Google Answers from a young girl who asked: “Does my dad like me? And what can I do?” She writes, “I’m really confused about my dad. I’m not even sure if he likes me. He always talks about the kids he teaches kayaking to and forgets about me. And if I ask him to take me kayaking, he always thinks up of some lame excuse of why he can’t. A few days ago he even said t

Love
Fiction: False
Something happened this week that I just have to share with you. It contrasts against the fuss that the liberal media made about Tim Tebow’s commercial during the Super Bowl. The commercial wasn’t a diatribe against abortion as many expected. It was about a mother’s choice to have a baby, even when she had been told the baby needed to be aborted because of her medical complications. The parents pr

On a deeply cloudy morning in 1975 I sat waiting…highly anticipating my very first airplane ride. My parents and siblings had driven home the week before from my Aunt Sharon’s ranch in Oregon, but I was given the opportunity to stay an additional week and fly home by myself.
I found Oregon a nice place to visit with one exception; it had been overcast, rainy and dreary for our entire stay. By

Fiction: False
Do you remember ski trips, or long drives to visit family that meant jumping in the car and settling in for a drive that you expected would be an adventure? Sometimes these trips included people you didn’t know yet. Every year I went on ski trips with a mix of people that I knew, and plenty I did not. Confined for a distance in a car with people that you don’t know very well, when you first click

Two years ago I woke up with my very first migraine headache. It turned out to be the first of many, many migraines to come. Thus began a journey which has required fortitude, courage, faith, and the expertise of several gifted doctors. I’ve had my ups and downs, and I’ve grown as a person throughout this ordeal. Honestly I would have to write a book to tell you all the lessons of the journey—but

This summer my daughter and I decided to take a girl’s trip and one of our stops was Sea World in San Diego. It’s unusual for me to take a vacation without my husband—and after you read about my ridiculous parking adventure, you’ll realize how much I rely on him. Here’s how the day went:
