Hi! I am a daughter of Eve! Yes, Eve, the mother of us all. Like Eve, I have thought I knew better than God. Like Eve, I have tried it my way. Like Eve, I have stepped out of line and had to live with the consequences. However, despite Eve’s sin bringing forth death for … Continue reading “Life-giving” Joy!

An Unquenchable Joy
For years, I was a prisoner to my circumstances. Even though as a child I trusted in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins and my eternal state was settled, I lived in defeat more than victory. My joy was stolen whenever something hard came along. And the sad, sad part was, I always felt powerless … Continue reading An Unquenchable Joy
PRICELESS! IRREPLACEABLE!

According to the Smithsonian Institute, the Hope Diamond is priceless because it is irreplaceable. In April of 2015, I began writing on the Scarlett Road recording reflections in order to let my “little” … Continue reading PRICELESS! IRREPLACEABLE!

Our Salvation is Nearer Now!
“When an English vicar was asked by a colleague what he expected after death, he replied, ‘Well, if it comes to that, I suppose I shall enter into eternal bliss, but I really wish you wouldn’t bring up such depressing subjects’” (Heaven, by Randy Alcorn). Death is something I sure NEVER wanted to talk about … Continue reading Our Salvation is Nearer Now!
The Last Goodbye!
Some memories grow in perspective. Like the end of 2014! Rodney and I drove to Alabama (from North Carolina) to spend a few days with family who were driving from Louisiana to meet up with us. We were looking forward to a big Louisiana gathering for July 4th, 2015 like we had experienced in 2013. … Continue reading The Last Goodbye!
