Loving Sacrifice

Posted by Tim LaTour on

Over the last month, I’ve had the privilege of teaching a dating class at our church. This class serves as a Biblical and practical course for the dating life, but it also is designed to help us prepare for marriage. Also, during this month, I’ve had the honour of performing two...

Nostalgia

Posted by Tim LaTour on

I’ll be the first to admit that I love nostalgia. I love going “back in time” in my mind and soaking in the past. Just yesterday, I stumbled upon a YouTube video of a string of old TV commercials from my childhood (yes, commercials!). I was entranced by them. I remembered so...

Wounded

Posted by Tim LaTour on

I had a bit of a “rude awakening” today. Our mornings are usually busy getting kids ready for school. This morning, as I was making breakfast for my daughter, I knocked over a glass that shattered on the floor. As I jumped to get out of the way, my foot landed on one of the pieces of...

Losing Something, Gaining Perspective

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:20-21 Although everyone loves the cool Hong Kong winters, they should come with...
