When Real Isn’t Real (But Still Hilarious!)
Sunday afternoon was supposed to be a quiet one — me writing my next blog, Carl watching the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders game. I could hear him in the other room hollering, “You’ve GOT to see this!” I thought, “Wow, it must be a nail-biter!” So I walked in, ready for a game-winning touchdown……
We Win – No Matter What!
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and the stakes are high! The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles are facing off, led by two outstanding quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. But what makes them truly great is their unwavering faith in Jesus. They each discussed their faith during a news conference last Tuesday. Mahomes spoke…
Election Day – God is Still in Control

We’ve Arrived or Maybe Not!

When You’re a Hugger and Encourager
That’s me. I come from a family of huggers. So, throw me into a world of social distancing and stay-at-home orders and I’m really uncomfortable. Actually, my heart aches for our world that needs a good dose of love, compassion, understanding and HUGS. Let’s get the truth out there. God, the greatest of all lovers…
We’ve Arrived….Well, Maybe Not
I think back on my life and the times I thought I had “arrived”. I had a boyfriend at last! I’ve arrived! I graduated from high school. I’ve arrived. I landed a great job. I’ve arrived! I got married. I’ve arrived. I had a baby — then, two babies! I’ve arrived. In reality, those were…
Holy Tuesday aka Temple Tuesday
Temple: a place regarded as the dwelling place of God; house of God, house of worship, shrine, sanctuary, church, cathedral. Tuesday of Holy Week could be called “Temple Tuesday,” because in Matthew 21 we read how Jesus spent most of the day in the Temple — teaching and using parables to make His points. According…
