Oops! I Did It Again!
(And, I’m not referring to the Britney Spears version — but MY version.) Oh, mercy. I did it again. I ranted, rambled, and let my tongue run wild like it had a life of its own. The words came out faster than my good sense could catch them — and once again, I wished I…
Trusting God in the Waiting
On Wednesday nights, there is no need to wait for dinner – our church offers us a delicious family meal. Last Wednesday night’s meal included the salad bar and chicken-fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, and green beans. Yum! Between our church’s family meal and my Heavenly Father’s daily bread – all I need to…
Unshakable Faith
We’re living in a mighty shaky world, aren’t we? The ground beneath us shifts with every headline, phone call, or unexpected twist. Just when we think we’ve got our footing, life throws a curveball. But there’s one way to stand firm when everything around us feels like it’s unraveling — we keep our eyes on…
YOU-Turns
We all know what a U-turn is — that moment when we realize we’re heading the wrong direction, and the only option is to turn around. (And maybe pray no one’s watching when we make it an extra-wide turn.) But have you ever thought about the YOU-turns we need in life? The ones where we…
“Let There Be Light (In My Closet — And My Life)”
For four years, I lived with a closet light that barely did its job.My ceilings soar over 11 feet high, so changing a bulb isn’t exactly a hop-skip-and-jump kind of thing. But the bulb wasn’t burned out — it was just pitifully dim. I could barely tell navy from black without holding things up to…

If you’re a follower of the news, then nothing in this blog will surprise you. You’ve seen the chaos, heard the shouting, and felt the weight of the dismay blanketing our world. And if you’re not a news follower — well, you just might be living in a sweet spot of God’s amazing grace in…
Oh Those Cattywampus Days!
I’m grinnin’ from ear to ear this mornin’ as this Southern gal writes this blog. I read a beautiful daily devotion from an online ministry and BAM, another idea for a blog! Their devotion started with: “You are slowly but surely coming to an end of your days of being cattywampus.” WHAT? Cattywampus? What in…
Pope Francis’ Trip to Heaven
On Easter Monday morning, Pope Francis made his final journey — this time, straight into the arms of the One he loved and served so faithfully. Just hours after offering his last Easter blessing from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, he stepped into glory. What timing! What triumph! I believe heaven rang with Hallelujahs,…
Hallelujah! HE LIVES!
The tomb is empty.The grave clothes folded.The stone? Rolled away — not by men, but by the hand of the Almighty.Death lost its grip.Hell lost its claim.And hope?It rose with Him. Jesus didn’t just die for us — He rose for us.He didn’t just promise resurrection — He proved it.The One who was mocked, beaten,…
He Nailed It — So We Could Live It
(Silent Saturday Edition)Yesterday, He nailed it. Not like a gymnast sticking a landing or a student acing the exam. No, Jesus really nailed it. On that cross, He absorbed every drop of judgment we deserved — bloodied, bruised, beaten. He didn’t just die for us. He died instead of us. The weight of sin drove…
