Someone should do something about this

May 20, 2025 By Tamera Alexander 2 Comments

Have you ever read a passage of Scripture or heard a sermon—and it just stays with you? This past Sunday's lesson at Church of the City Franklin, where Joe and I attend, was that kind of lesson for me. One of the phrases Darren repeated in this lesson was, "Someone should do something about this."

Amazing Women in God’s Word

April 1, 2025 By Tamera Alexander

This weekend I had the amazing privilege of teaching at the Perinton Community Church's Womens Retreat (Rochester, NY). What a fabulous group of women... We laughed, we cried, we shared our stories. But mostly, we feasted on God's Word and immersed ourselves in what Jesus says about forgiveness in Luke 15—all while looking at these three parables through a middle eastern lens, which … [Read more...]

From Start to Finish by (not Tamera) but Joe Alexander

February 18, 2025 By Tamera Alexander

A year ago, my husband, Joe, felt a strong nudge to begin writing down some of his—and our—family history for our grandchildren, Leo and Ari. As he wrote, he found himself sharing lessons he hopes to one day teach each of them himself, Lord willing. Yet knowing that none of us will be here forever, he was grateful for the opportunity to put pen to paper. Early on, I read his first few … [Read more...]
