To escape the chore of the evening meal, we headed to Cracker Barrel. My mouth was watering for the warm, soft cornbread muffins. My favorites! As we waited for the food to arrive at our table, the server kindly dropped off a basket with several corn muffins inside. But what I had hoped to experience … Continue reading Cough Up the Cornbread!

Enduring For The Gold
Meeting someone whose demeanor and instruction creates a thirst for greater godliness is one of the special blessings in life. Pastor Ivan French was such a man. He was our pastor through seminary training as my dear hubby worked successfully for his Master’s in Theology degree. Pastor French spoke at various conferences with each church … Continue reading Enduring For The Gold
Taking a Stand in 2023
We are at the beginning of a New Year and entering unfamiliar territory. It may seem dark and anxiety laden. But whether you feel slight trepidation or total chaos ensuing, you have a choice to make. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering … Continue reading Taking a Stand in 2023
His Desire for Me
So much of our transitory life is lived in limbo, isn’t it?! Like when you are waiting nine months for a baby to be born and not to mention twenty-seven hours of labor to meet that new baby, like my youngest daughter just pulled off; and quite amazingly I might add! And almost as bad, … Continue reading His Desire for Me

I Can’t Do It (Part 3)
How do “YOU” walk into a New Year, with thoughts of “I Can’t Do It” or “Ready, Set, Go Shine”? I believe we need to be equipped with a well charged battery pack. The first battery being the “One Day at a Time” amount, and the second, “Casting our Cares on Him” dimension. But we … Continue reading I Can’t Do It (Part 3)
I Can’t Do It (Part 2)
Whatever we feel we can’t do this year: a marriage, an illness, organizing the home, financial struggles, prodigal children, a job change, a move, a death, life without someone, finding joy in the journey; on and on the list can go, whatever it is that weighs our hearts down, God is all-powerful. He can lift … Continue reading I Can’t Do It (Part 2)
It Can’t Be Done
After Christmas, my brother came all the way from Louisiana to build me a fence and these thoughts ran through our minds. In freezing temperatures, with an assembly line of hot water being hauled, the 55 posts were cemented into the ground providing a guide to the magnitude of the project .
