http://bontragersingers.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Lifewith the Bontrager Family Singers. What little girl doesn't like to play dress-up? In truth, deep down inside, we women enjoy the opportunity, as well.:) God created women to revel in their femininity and celebrate all He made them to be. We were thrilled to be home for a special ladies' event our church did a few weeks ago. Without further ado, I present to you:. A Ladies Vintage Tea. Cold ginger peach tea}. Darling baby dressed in frills}. Food table bedecked with a feast for the eyes and mouth}.

Brother Steve's Blog: Tried By Fire
http://brothersteves.blogspot.com/2011/10/tried-by-fire.html
Monday, October 3, 2011. Fire is used in the Bible a number of times. It represents a lot of things. Recently, I began cleaning my garage . again. In the cleaning process, I came across several items I could not fit into a trash bag - like a dresser, a wooden easel I used as a boy and a rocking chair. City wide cleanup was not an option. So, I decided to burn these items in my make-shift three-foot square pit made of discarded aluminum plates from work. The LOST will stand before God in that soul-condemn...

Brother Steve's Blog: Approaching Ten Years
http://brothersteves.blogspot.com/2011/08/approaching-ten-years.html
Wednesday, August 17, 2011. Time goes by so quickly! This September 2011 will mark the 10 year anniversary of being at the helm as captain of the Oskaloosa bus route for Marion Avenue Baptist Church. It's still a crazy notion to me . taking a bus to pick up people just for church . that's not too crazy, but a church that is over an hour away? Yet, I find in the Bible how God uses things that we think are foolish and absurd and out of the ordinary and uses it for His honor and glory. The children, teenage...

Brother Steve's Blog: June 2011
http://brothersteves.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 21, 2011. What's Behind the Door? When you're in the work of the Lord, you meet many different types of people. As a bus captain, I have come across some really wonderful people, with great attitudes and who are a delight to talk with. There are a few people, however, that are totally the opposite as you will notice in this encounter I had just last week while visiting. Something or someone had irritated this guy! What do think about me taking a ride? I didn't realize you moved here." I...

Brother Steve's Blog: A First On The Bus Route
http://brothersteves.blogspot.com/2011/01/first-on-bus-route.html
Monday, January 24, 2011. A First On The Bus Route. I asked, "Were the kids coming to church this morning? The lady said, "Yes, they are just about ready.". After a minute or so, from the door I normally would go to, came my riders already heading to the bus. Seeing them go to the bus, I proceeded to go there as well. Out of the house from the door I just knocked on came two girls. I questioned the girls as they got on the bus. You girls are going to the church in Washington, right? Again, they said yes.

Brother Steve's Blog: Read The Manual
http://brothersteves.blogspot.com/2011/03/read-manual.html
Thursday, March 3, 2011. At my house, I have a file folder full of manuals ranging from the microwave oven to an out-of-date cellphone. Most everything you purchase comes with one, right? Though I'm a guy, I do read the manual before I use my purchased product. However, when it comes to my children's toys, I may have a different approach. How hard can a child's play toy be to assemble? Tell you what, you'd be surprised. Being honest, I have found myself consulting the manual afterall. Just like the manuf...
