Like the Titanic or Jesus?
During our recent trip through Canada, we visited the Titanic Cemetery aka Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a somber reminder of the 1912 disaster that claimed 1,513 lives. The sight of children’s tombstones was particularly heartrending, realizing the immense loss endured. James Cameron, the director of the movie, “Titanic”, once described the Titanic…
Prayer – As Natural As Breathing
Seems like God has me on a Prayer Enlightenment Journey, and it’s popping up everywhere, just like those white cars you start noticing the minute you buy one. I get it, Lord, I hear you loud and clear. Apparently, it’s time to amp up my communication with God! I’ll be straight with you, I’ve never…
Memorial Day: A Tribute to Those Who Said “Pick Me”
Memorial Day is more than just a marker for the start of summer. It’s a profound reminder of the brave men and women who stood up and said, “Pick me,” when called upon to defend our freedoms. Today, we honor the selfless individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, ensuring the liberties we…
Giddy Up and Go!
All these seniors graduating high school and college have sure inspired me. From personal experience, I know God has an exciting life plan for them AND us! AND it’s not just in our dreams! God promises us a life of significance and relevance. This scripture knocks that sentence out of the park: “I (Jesus) came…
You’re On Your Way
I have loved the flood of graduation photos on my social feeds. Some mighty proud parents and beaming family members have risen to the occasion for their graduates. Last Sunday, we attended the Baccalaureate ceremonies for Carl’s grandson (my bonus grandson), Parker Gates. And, Thursday night, we watched him receive his diploma from Austin’s Westlake…
Our Upper Hands
Many old and faithful songs are hidden in my heart’s storehouse. I can’t help myself from sharing them. This one was recorded by Anne Murray: “Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water.Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea.Take a look at yourself and…
King Kingston: A Tribute to a Young Warrior
Over the past 13 years, I’ve had the honor of sharing the story of a young king named Kingston James Whitmore. Diagnosed with Trisomy 13 at birth, Kingston was given just five days to live. Defying all odds, he graced this earth for over 13 remarkable years, a testament to the power of faith and…
Let Me Entertain You
Have you ever found yourself hosting a pity party with thoughts that make you feel less than stellar? Oh, I’ve been there — serving up a buffet of self-doubt and fear, all while the enemy hums along to that old Broadway tune, “Let me entertain you!” That’s right, those self-defeating thoughts are not just annoying…
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…
Our Hotline to God
I well remember when the U.S. and the Soviet Union created a hotline between President John Kennedy and Russia’s Premier Nikita Khrushchev. It was in October 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It made sure that both countries’ leaders could have a chat before things escalated. Imagine that — a red phone with a direct…
