Hard Working People — Happy Labor Day!
HAPPY LABOR DAY!! This is the day to honor all of our hard working Americans who make life so much better for us. And, particularly, I want to thank those of you who don’t usually get the acclaim and recognition. You know who you are — the garbage truck workers, restaurant cooks and waiters, cashiers,…
For Such a Time as This
I love the story of Queen Esther. She risked death by her boldness as she spoke out for her people Israel. I often quote from her story when I, or my friends, may be experiencing turmoil, chaos, and even loss. I’m reminded — that just like Esther, “I may have come to a royal position…
Behind the Storm is a Rainbox of Blessing
Most of my posts are from my own personal life experiences. St. Paul said, in 2 Corinthians 1:4 “That you may be comforted with the same comfort that I have been comforted with.” And, indeed, iit is MY utmost desire is to comfort others with the same comfort that I have been comforted with during…

Here’s a great word for us — straight from headquarters! “Fear not: stand still, be firm, confident, undismayed and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today…the Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your…
To God Be The Glory, Honor and Praise
“How can I say thanks for all the things He’s done for me? Things so undeserved yet He gave to prove His love for me — the voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude — all that I am and ever hope to be, I owe it all to Thee! To God,…
Jesus Loves Me This I Know….or Don’t Know?
I never knew abuse by an angry father. But I do know the pain to have a very sick daddy. He became like a sibling to me because of brain tumor surgery that caused severe damage, as well as caused dibilitating seizures and convulsions that this little girl witnessed many times. At 8 years old,…
Happy Birthday to Me — the Train Wreck Baby
I was a “train wreck baby”. At least, that’s what my Mama called me. She and my Dad were DONE with having any more babies. My older sister was 12, the other two were 18 & 20. But when my Mama was in the train wreck, her “birthing department” kicked into gear again. It’s different,…
Sweetest Treasures — the Things Money Can’t Buy!
Zig said, “Money isn’t everything, but it ranks right up there with oxygen.” We need money — no question about it — and, besides the necessities of life, I have to admit that I like the nice things that money will buy. I like to live in a nice house, drive a nice car, wear…
It’s Time to Make a Change
A blender is a necessity at my house. I make a lot of thick protein-packed smoothies and lots of thick milk shakes for my grandkids when they come to town. The blender gets a good work-out. I’ve gone through several because I always bought the lower-priced version — thinking it would do, but after a…
Happiness is in the Journey — Not the Destination
“Are we there yet?” We don’t hear those words so often today from our kids because they’re entertained by their iPads and DVDs in the cars. But, I well remember, as a kid, when my family took the long road trips to West Virginia where my big sister and her family lived, saying those words…
