Nothing can Separate Us from God’s Love
Doesn’t that give us reassurance at the end of a day when we feel less than loved by anyone, including ourselves? God’s love for us is unwavering and eternal. Imagine that! No matter what happens, nothing can destroy our relationship with Him. This truth has the power to transform our lives. Romans 8:38-39 assures us,…
Shouldn’t We All Be Olympians?
I am an avid fan of the Olympics — the athletes’ sacrificial commitment to their sport, stories of discipline, reaching goals and dreams they worked long and hard for. It is a big deal to be an Olympian and achieve their dreams of competing, but to have the medal-winning glory is the reward for all…

The Exorcist
When I was young, unbridled, and careless with my mind and what goes in it, I made the foolish mistake of watching horror movies.

Tested -Tried – Proven – Rewarded
Back in 2012, my son and his team created and launched a technology company. I was one of the founding members and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of something so innovative.

Happy Presidents’ Day
I researched and found this day began as a way of celebrating President George Washington’s Birthday. Now this federal holiday honors all U.S. presidents on this day. Do we acknowledge, with gratitude, what our presidents sacrificed and did for us? Why would anyone, including our current president, desire this position? What is it about the…
Go to Hell, Satan!
Yikes! Donna! You don’t talk like that! I don’t, but maybe I should! Actually, that title refers to Dolly’s new song from her recent Christmas special, “Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas”. In the middle of the song, she exclaims: “Brothers and Sisters! I’m here to tell you that Satan is real and walking amongst us…
