Let’s Fortify Our Faith
In times like these, it’s no surprise that the enemy is working overtime. The chaos in our world reminds us daily that we need more than optimism — we need armor. Paul’s words ring loud: “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” (Ephesians 6:11)…
It’s Time to Trust God More Than Ever
Trust doesn’t come easy for everyone – especially when we listen to skeptics and anti-faith dealers. I am not a frequent news watcher, but because my dear husband is a strong proponent in our election process, he stays tuned into politics and most important info hitting the airwaves. Often, I’ll lend my ear to what…
Fill ‘er Up
That’s what we said – long before we had do-it-yourself gas stations. Once upon a time, there were full-service gas stations. That meant the attendant would wash our front windows, air up our tires and fill the car up with gas. Long gone are those days. And, spiritually, when it comes to getting full service…
Suiting Up for a Battle Win
At the Vincentian Family Center, my co-worker and I saw two keychains with a large coin engraved with a soldier armed for battle. They were donated for us to sell. At first sight, we didn’t recognize it, but then at a closer look, we saw a strong warrior with his sword and shield. I flipped…

I stay away from crime shows or just about anything “dark” in nature. Well, up until the last three weeks and I have been in binge mode as I watched the LIVE proceedings of a quadruple homicide in a small town in North Dakota. My cousin who calls me Auntie Donna is North Dakota’s Assistant…
Tactical Warfare – Defensive AND Offensive
Yesterday I posted that our “First Line of Defense”, when a negative surprise comes to take us out, should be Jesus’ words to Jairus when he was told his daughter was dead: “Do not be afraid. Only believe!” Counterattack the negative by refusing to be afraid and to believe that the story is not ending.…
God’s Church Triumphant is Alive and Well
God’s Church Triumphant is Alive and Well I’ll be heading home from Tulsa after attending church with so many of my dearest friends this morning. Of course, my sweet godson will be sitting by me. That’s been his seat since my Sweetheart went to heaven. Each Sunday, he’d wait for me, or I would wait…
