Mary’s “Yes” — My “Yes”
As if one Advent by Candlelight wasn’t enough, I was thrilled to attend another last night at St. Bernard’s Church. This night, I was able to sit back with dear friends from my Hyde Park community and my ACTS community to focus my attention, and really take in the beauty of this wonderful Season of…
Making Room for Him
These photo inspirations are from the beautiful Advent by Candlelight at St. Benedict’s Church in Broken Arrow where I was so honored to speak at last night.

On Your Mark — Get Set…….GO!

Blessed to be a Blessing
Happy Thanksgiving! Let me start out by saying “I’m so thankful for YOU!” I’m so thankful you’re my friend, family member or casual acquaintance, but the fact that you stop by my FB post sometimes, humbles me, yet encourages me to keep on doing what I know God called me to do. THANK YOU for…
