I had what should have been an ordinary occurrence turn into an “incident,” and a God moment for me. My one-year-old grandson had to go for his one-year doctor’s appointment and shots. Grandma got to go along. We arrived at the doctor’s office and were escorted in without incident—not yet at least. The first stop […]
I love visiting churches. Don’t you? While I was in Missouri I got the opportunity to visit a church. Not just any church, the church my son attends while he’s at college. I loved the church. I loved being with fellow Christ followers and receiving great Bible teaching. And yet, as you know, if you’ve […]
Have you ever gotten off track? I’ve gotten off track, friends. I’ve allowed the busyness of the world to derail me from my highest priorities. I’ve been focused on trivial matters instead of on kingdom matters. I’ve allowed my emotions to take hold and lead me on to rocky terrain. Rocks have been flying up […]
I’m on a journey. A health journey. I know you probably can’t tell from my outside but on the inside I struggle daily. I struggle like a cocaine user or alcoholic or sex addict or porn user—my drug is food. I use it when I’m happy. I use it when I’m sad. I use it […]
I’m ruined, y’all! After witnessing my grandson come into this world I am completely busted and can’t seem to put myself back together. And I don’t know that I want to. Buckle up for the story… My husband and I were hours away at a conference when the text came in that Monica was having […]
I’ve been a bit short with my hubby lately. I haven’t been as tender. My last chick is leaving and I’ve been a little “stretched.” That’s no excuse, I’ve got to pull it together. We were on a plane flight toward what would be our son’s new home…away…far away, at college. My thoughts raced back […]
This week I have a special guest writer, Pastor Mike Williams. Mike is the children’s pastor at Shepherd Church where he oversees 1,200 to 1,400 children a weekend. Could you imagine? To truly appreciate what he does, one would have to see him in action. Mike is an amazing pastor, but more than that, he […]
When I retire for the evening, I put my cell phone in my office. I’m distracted by it enough during the day, I don’t need it to distract me from my sleep or anything else going on in my bedroom during the night. Wink. Wink. I’m in a love/hate relationship with my cell phone. I […]
I tried not to cry. I really did. It felt as though someone was washing my eyes out, but instead of a solution it was my tears flowing uncontrollably. The tears dripped down my face and on to my grandson who was only a few weeks old. I’d be leaving the following morning after visiting […]
Have you ever wondered what your husband thinks about all day? Thoughts are powerful, they can either enhance or damage your marriage. One day before hubby left for work I was in the garage working-out. He stopped in to say goodbye. Being the idiot I can be I brought up a sensitive and charged issue. […]
