Careless Whisper
Have you ever been entrusted with information or knowledge that you could not wait to tell to someone else? It may be good news, such as an upcoming birth, wedding, or new job opportunity. Some information may be given to you in confidence, and you tell someone, breaking that private confidence. Some things are shared…

The Long And Winding Road
Moses wrote in the Psalms, “The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away” (Psalm 90:10). Moses himself lived longer than this. Still, he was the exception, not…

I’m a Grandma
I’m a grandma. I have been for the last seven months. It still surprises me and excites me. I didn’t know how much joy a new little one would bring into our lives. I didn’t know how just the thought of her would bring a great big smile to my face. I didn’t know I…

The Yoke of Bondage
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1 The gospel of Jesus Christ, the good news of His death, burial, and resurrection, has the power to free all people from their sins (Romans 1:16). The guilt and…

Freedom
Freedom, family, food, and fireworks are how I would describe the 4th of July holiday. It’s a holiday we celebrate because it’s the day way back in 1776 that our Declaration of Independence was signed; a day when we, as a nation, declared our freedom. It was a great day in our nation; a day…

Father’s Girl
I wrote and posted this to Facebook 10 years ago. I didn’t know that almost 2 years after I wrote it that my dad would no longer be a physical part of my life. The lessons he taught, the love that he gave, and all the memories are held so dear. I am forever thankful…

Pray For Our Leaders
I had the honor and privilege to say the invocation before the session of our state representatives. Paul told Timothy to pray for those in authority (1 Timothy 2:2) and below is a copy of what I said on that occasion. I encourage all Christians to pray for their leaders. I don’t know if Paul…

Memories
“I thank God every time I remember you.” – Philippians 1:3 Memories are the threads that weave the fabric of our existence, stitching together moments of joy, sorrow, and everything in between. They are the silent narrators of our lives, shaping our identities and influencing our choices. From the fleeting scent of a childhood home…

Transformers
Thursday April 30, 1992, will probably not mean a whole lot to you, but for me it was the day when I was baptized. I was the last kid in the family to be baptized, I’m not really sure what I was waiting on and neither did my parents. That evening I got up from…
