The King is Coming
Please forgive my insatiable appetite for remembering the past and applying it to a blog. I’m sure it helps my memory faculties stay intact when I can pull out an old, true story that bears repeating. Just keeping those stories alive and well! It’s “the king’s” birthday today! Note: the lowercase king not the uppercase…
He’s Alive and So am I
He woke me up this morning and started me on my way…..you ask me how I know He lives. He lives within my heart! Happy Resurrection Celebration Day! Whoever said “You Only Live Once” (YOLO) didn’t consider our Lord’s living, dying, and living again forever! Jesus made a comeback like no other. And the over-the-top…

What Symbols Do You Hold Dear?
When I was twelve, my boyfriend (who eventually became my husband) and I went on our first official (chaperoned) date. On my 13th birthday, he bought this pictured gold bracelet and charm for me with his savings. I still have that bracelet and charm. It has always been a SYMBOL of when we met and…
