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…

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

Worry Less — Smile More Often
One of the greatest “joy stealers” in our lives is worry. God knows that — that’s why he reminds to not worry and to trust Him completely.In fact, He emphatically told us “DO NOT WORRY!: Here’s what Jesus said about worry: Matthew 6:25-27 “Therefore I tell you, DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT YOUR LIFE.
