The Greatest of These is Love
Today, September 11th, 13 years later, we still remember the lives that were lost and the heroes who did what no one thought possible. We remember sacrifice. We remember courage. We remember greatness. And, following in our Master’s footsteps, we choose to love our neighbor, to love our enemies, and to forgive. C.S. Lewis put…
Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant
“God doesn’t require us to succeed. He only requires that we try.” — Mother Teresa Don’t you love it when someone gives you a big “thumbs up” for something positive you’ve done well? Remember the story Jesus told about the 3 servants who were given their master’s possessions to take care of while he was…
We Create Beauty Around Us

Service – 24/7
Ever feel like you need to talk to someone, but for one reason or another — you think it’s too late or too early in the day, or you don’t want to be a bother, or they may be busy, or they don’t have the time — so you just don’t make that call? How…

I Was Hungry and You Fed Me
My Life Group meets at my home every Thursday night. These women are amazing, faith-filled, fully devoted followers of Christ, and I’m inspired by them every week.

Don’t Give Up!
This precious, quiet, unassuming, yet amazingly talented woman is representative of what God does when it seems all hope is gone.

EVERYTHING Has Its Season
Yesterday I received a Hobby Lobby email and it said, “Fall in love with Fall”. Then, it hit me. Fall has literally sprung up on us — school is back in session, and last weekend, the college teams’ fans were out in numbers as they sported their favorite team shirts and colors. I’m already noticing…
Think Before You Speak
Oh, how I want to put my finger to people’s lips and say “Shhhh — don’t say that!” when I hear then say things like “I’m so stupid”, “I can just look at a cookie, and I gain weight”, “I get a cold this time every year”, “I could never win at that”, “I’ll never…
