Bumpety-bump-bump; A few potholes here and rough terrain there (some states worse than others linking Florida to North Carolina), our return journey home was complete. Once back inside our home, with luggage strewn across the floor, my heart naturally sinks. After all we have experienced, through the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) Conference, not … Continue reading A Six-Week Retreat: Refocusing and Refueling
Gerald Smith, aka Bro. Smith, aka Uncle Jerry
As a small-town girl growing up in Reeves, Louisiana, I certainly felt the impact of unique individuals graciously positioned in my life.

Cough Up the Cornbread!

I find myself doctoring the hubby, again!, this time for a bad cold he has borne for 2 weeks, and it has now spiraled into BAD, BAD! So, reinforcements were called in, an antibiotic and cough meds.

The “Feel Good” Antidote!
Christmastime has always provoked a desire to experience LOVE. Romance novels and Hallmark movies were the norm and certainly instrumental in setting a standard for me as a young girl.

OVERWHELMING EXPECTANCY
As a little child, I remember the eagerness for Christmas morning, and the overwhelming joy at the thought of Santa Claus leaving presents under the tree.
