Don’t Worry — Be Happy!
One of the greatest joy stealers in our lives is worry. Worry sneaks in like a thief, sets up camp in our minds, and before we know it, our peace has packed its bags and left the building. God knows this about us — that’s why He reminds us again and again: “Do. Not. Worry.”…
Just a Moment, Please!
Ever have a representative speak those words and it was way more than a moment until they returned to the call, or to the check-out stand? Moments are sometimes much longer than said, but they can be instantaneous in a “God” moment! I was a “single” teenager (age 17), but in one, “I now pronounce…

Day 21 of Photo Inspirations. My sweet Alexia, and her passion for animals (big and small) just keeps being more and more evident. She found this little bird all alone and it appeared to be wounded. She picked him up and tenderly held him. She brought him to me to see her newfound friend. She…
One Man’s Trash is a Raccoon’s Treasure
