Smart Design With Suzette: How To Arrange Flowers Like A Pro

By SUZETTE FOX
Los Alamos

 
I am a lover of flowers; ever since I was a little girl, I would bring in cut lilacs from our property and arrange them throughout the house.
 
As I grew, wherever I moved, I made sure to have flowers planted that I could cut and bring in.
 
I always loved how cheery they made a room feel. I would have to say my favorite flowers are lilacs, gardenias, white roses, peonies and lily of the valley.

I was profoundly touched by Pastor Granillo’s column, “The Love of Hate” (link), and I wanted to share this:
 
After a cruel, devastating blow during this past Christmas, I was overwhelming consumed with many of the emotions that the Pastor described in his column. As a life-long Christian, I was embarrassed and ashamed of what I had become. How could I allow this one, evil person to change me so profoundly?
 
My first reaction to this true evil was revenge, which made me even more angry. I then came upon the column from Pastor Granillo,

Pastor Raul: We Are A Holiness People

By Pastor Raul Granillo
Los Alamos
 
I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. Leviticus 11:44a (NASB).
 
Holiness is the core value of the Nazarene church that is most often met with resistance and criticism, not just in the Nazarene church, but in all the Christian churches.

In the most real sense, it means loving God so much that it turns
