Palm Sunday = Salvation Army Everyday!
It’s Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week. Palm Sunday represents the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Today, churches will celebrate in different ways.

Is the Coming of Spring Bringing Spring to Your Steps?
Just 7 days until it’s officially Spring (March 20th). The pink tulips, the bright yellow jonquils and the bright yellow forsythia are out. The red bud trees are red budding.

Clean Up Time — Getting Out the LINT Roller!
Clean Up Time — Getting Out the LINT Roller! I, accidentally, threw a towel into my wash with my black slacks. Oops! Lint – those little fibers from that towel got all over those pants. I proceeded to pull out my trusty, sticky lint remover roller and I got all those tiny balls of lint…

Change My Heart, Oh God — Make It Ever New — To Be Like You!

His Tomb Became a Delivery Room — Happy Resurrection Sunday!
Up until his last day on this earth, my Sweetheart and I were uncompromising and unwavering in our faith and belief that he would be healed. But on that day, I had a sense of “knowing”, it was time for him to get to go home. So, on that day, I leaned in close to…
