WRITTEN BY TIM LABRECHE I’ve started to enjoy reading fiction again lately. The current series I’m reading starts each book right as some big, dramatic scene unfolds. My last book started with an EMS helicopter pilot being forced to land on a mountain in a raging storm with a critical patient. The one I’m currently…

WRITTEN BY TIM LABRECHE This past weekend Sheila and I went to the last Miracle League game of the season in Sioux City. Suppose you're unfamiliar with The Miracle League of Sioux City.

WRITTEN BY TIM LABRECHE This past Memorial Day weekend, we sat amongst thousands of other Detroit Tigers fans at Comerica Park in downtown Detroit. Growing up in southeast Michigan, I grew up hearing stories of Tiger royalty like George Kell, Al Kaline, and going back even further, the great Ty Cobb. I went to Tiger…

WRITTEN BY TIM LABRECHE Not too long ago, Sheila and I spent the day in Omaha. It was a fun day of coffee, shopping, and exploring. One of the things we did was purposefully sought out used record stores. I was gifted a record player for Christmas a few years ago and have decided it…

WRITTEN BY TIM LABRECHE Whether you’re relaxing on the dock with your feet splashing in the water, experiencing the beauty of Falls Park in Sioux Falls, or simply sitting outside and listening to the birds sing their songs as the wind gently blows, you are experiencing what was not only designed by - but created…

WRITTEN BY TIM LABRECHE Iowa does many things well, but three things are done incredibly well. Coffee, ice cream, and… of course, corn. There are vistas in this state that corn goes as far as the eye can see. Iowa does corn with excellence. I love Iowa, but I’m not a native Iowan. For the…

WRITTEN BY TIM LABRECHE Hurt people hurt people. We’ve all heard that before. It’s been said when your coworker berated you for a simple mistake. It was said when your teenager called you an inexcusable name simply because they didn’t get what they wanted. It was even said when a fellow believer thought you said…

WRITTEN BY TIM LABRECHE In 2023, we’re going to be focusing on who God says we are. I’ve sat down a few times to write this focus, but each time I came up with a way to approach this first one I didn’t have peace and I knew I was to wait. Until this morning……

WRITTEN BY TIM LABRECHE There was a day not too long ago when Sheila and I were having a discussion in our kitchen. I can’t recall exactly what we talked about, but I know it was faith-related. She noticed I used the same word often while conversing. That word is despite. I’ve been thinking over…

WRITTEN BY TIM LABRECHE The room was darkened, except for the stage. On that stage, the worship team sang out chorus after chorus, giving praise to our Father. Many times, I’m brought to tears in worship as I recognize my Father’s love and sacrifice for me. But this time it wasn’t the combination of their…
