Are you experiencing Election day uneasiness? Keep trusting in Almighty God; He works through the avenues of government to bring about His desired purpose.

“MEOW”
I don’t know about you but for me it doesn’t take much for my focus to shift, and before you know it, I’m plummeting. The Bible reveals Satan as a roaring lion seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). I love looking up word synonyms and when I looked up devour, I happened across two words … Continue reading “MEOW”
Celebrating Life (Ending no dairy, no sugar fast)
I’m very thankful for friends and family sending out such sweet birthday greetings, not to mention a wonderful husband that makes sure I have a very special day! I’ve had a blast getting a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks, a glazed & a pumpkin-filled croissant from Burney’s Sweets & More besides eating part of my … Continue reading Celebrating Life (Ending no dairy, no sugar fast)
My 28th Birthday Gift!
Many jump right in to marriage and having babies with childlike naivete. Now within a day of turning 56 years of age, I’m confronted with the depth of immaturity that was my reality especially regarding having babies. My thoughts were continually about myself. Having a third baby was something I wanted! I was thankful for … Continue reading My 28th Birthday Gift!
Every “BODY” Matters
Preparing for another "dairy, sugar" fast has me typing out goals for victory! PRAY, PRAY, PRAY Ask someone to commit to doing this fast with me! Before getting out of bed in the morning, rehearse in my mind what I will eat/drink Keep a "12 hour fast" from 6:30 AM-6:30 PM (sometimes I make it … Continue reading Every “BODY” Matters
Elvis & Mylon’s Mistake
"Without Him, how lost I would be!" Nothing could be truer! When I was about 8 years old, I asked Jesus to be my Savior. I knew I was a sinner and there wasn't anything I could do on my own to change that fact (Romans 3:23; Titus 3:5). Nevertheless, hearing the "good news” Jesus … Continue reading Elvis & Mylon’s Mistake
Impatience (Extended week of no dairy, no sugar)
These are not my words; I have rearranged a bit and added my own commentary: "I don't like to have to repeat myself. I tend to want the people (for me it's my husband, and my children when they were small) around me to understand quickly." (Apparently, the author has been spying on me.) (So,) … Continue reading Impatience (Extended week of no dairy, no sugar)
What’s All the Fuss?
What is all the fuss about? Why worry about the relationship I have with sweets? It’s not like my waistline has expanded so far that I need to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe! But the crux of the matter is: Am I honoring God with my relationship to sweets? In his book … Continue reading What’s All the Fuss?
Saving Face
As the golf ball rolled down the concrete drive into the street, I cringed thinking of the 3-year-old running after it. My main concern was our neighbor toddling out into the street to collect his ball. As I strolled over to my flowerbeds, inconspicuously trying to keep an eye on what might take place, it … Continue reading Saving Face
Riding out the Storm (Day 18 of Round Two)
Anxious thoughts during a hurricane obviously are different depending on your location and topography. Low area flooding is always a concern no matter where you live, as well as tornadoes that pop up unnoticed. For us, the biggest concern were the towering pines in our backyard. As the wind gusts arrived and the trees were … Continue reading Riding out the Storm (Day 18 of Round Two)
