Spoiler Alert – He Lives!
I have two word phrases today: ~ Good News: Something or someone pleasant, fortunate, or otherwise positive. In Christianity, it is the message of Jesus Christ concerning the salvation of the faithful (as elaborated in the Gospels). I love that definition – that means we can wake up each day, and EVERYDAY, with GOOD NEWS!!…
Spread the Good News!
Everyday, we make choices — to listen to negativity — especially in the news and then pass that bad news along. We also have the option to do what Jesus said, “Go into all the world and spread the GOOD NEWS!” I remember my early years as a Christian how difficult it was for me…
Train Up A Child in the Way He Should Go
Some people ask me “How do you know scriptures so well? How do you know so many stories from the Bible?” And my response is, “I cut my teeth on the back of a pew.” LOL! It was because, from an infant — our church seemed like our second home. It was our family’s “go…

“Fear Not! I Bring You Good News of Great Joy!”
Those are the words the angels spoke to the shepherds when they were announcing the birth of our Savior. This was also the scripture that I referenced in my message to a room filled with beautiful women at Christ the King Church last night. When I was asked to speak for this event several months…
Do You Have SPRING in Your Steps?
Did you ever hear that phrase? It means that we’re walking with a bit of a bounce in our steps, implying that we’re in a good mood or something good has just happened to us. Think of a coiled piece of metal that pushes back when it’s pressed upon, like the springs in our mattress…
