Reminder: Tough Times Don’t Last

I’ll admit I have enjoyed watching the “Survivor” TV series since the show began. The resiliency, determination, grit and shrewdness of the cast amazes me. They go hungry if their team doesn’t win the challenge, they go through the most grueling obstacles, and their living conditions are dreadful. Nope! I couldn’t do it. I need…

You’re Halfway There

I have had many “opportunities” to pray for personal needs as well as the needs of others.  What a personal triumph I felt, when the prayers were answered – maybe not in the way I suspected, but God’s way.  Sometimes those prayers aren’t immediate.  They may go on for years.  But it is not my…

What Are the Voices in Your Head Saying?

You’re courageous! You’re strong! You’re a winner!” Or they’re saying “Forget it.  Give up!  You’re too weak. You’re afraid. You…

At the End of Your Rope — Hold On!

Feel like you’ve failed at something one too many times…..and you’re ready to throw in the towel? Feel like you’ve prayed too many times….and the answer just has not come? Feel like you’re at the end of your rope…..and there’s no where else, or no one else, to go to? And, you’ve even spoken the…
