Were You There?

Yes, I was there — glued to the presidential returns that came in. Even my children and grandchildren had a Watch Party – waiting for the big announcement. The history books will long declare “Donald Trump became the 45th President AND the 47th President-Elect of the United States of America. Who woulda’ thought that after…

Shut the Door

Every day we can choose life. A friend explained some of her health issues. She said that she feels optimistic yet fear creeps in with “What if?” I told her that when the enemy taunts her with his fear tactics to remember, “The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, but Jesus came to give…

The Whatevers

I still chuckle when I think back to my teenagers’ classic retort: “WHATEVER!” It was usually delivered with a hefty dose of eye-rolling and a sigh that could fill a room.

Friends in High Places

Garth Brooks struck a chord with his hit, “I’ve Got Friends in Low Places.” The tune might be catchy, but the lyrics?

God is Still in Control

We’re in the thick of “He said, She said. They said. Let him go, Let him stay!” The race for our next president is intensifying.

Hope Floats…..or Not?

Many of us are tired and lackluster with our hope. Tired of negativity, political rancor, grumpy and whiny people. Tired of trying to make changes in our lives. But we’d better make some changes because Proverbs 13:12 says: “Hope deferred makes the heart sick.” Yikes! Who wants a sick heart? When we lose hope, we…

 Straighten Up, My Friends!

With all that’s going on in our lives and our world, it’s enough to make us feel like we’re carrying the weight of it all on our shoulders. And all that weight might just be causing us to have bad posture. My mama wouldn’t let me be a “slouch”. I hear her voice right now:…
