Lying on my sofa, consumed with fear and shaking uncontrollably, I knew God was my only hope; my greatest need was to learn what it meant to trust Him with a child! That period in my life became the training ground from which endurance would be welded into my soul as even darker days of … Continue reading The Greatest Test

Potential Pearls: A 45th Wedding Anniversary
Returning from a weekend trip just 2 ½ hours away from home, I surmised the lack of rain once again.

When God places a truth upon your heart you can either repress it or say, “yes Lord, now please give me the words from … Continue reading Beguiled!
Never Again!
