An avid baker and willing creator of yummy meals, I find the kitchen is … Continue reading Sourdough for Starters
Serving Cancer Heroes
In my years serving alongside my husband in the role of “THE PASTOR’S WIFE,” I will never forget words spoken to a young, beautiful mom fighting for her health and yet, suffocating in the pain and misery of cancer and its brutal treatment!

Caveat lector: Let the Reader Beware!
This may be a bit gross for some prim and proper people, but I feel it must be said!

Thus, I was born again like the Apostle John illustrates through the dialogue of … Continue reading Closer to Your Heart Through Prayer, An Easter Fast!
My Nephew & The Line UP!
Hearing from my nephew in prison or getting an update through my sister (his mother), I never tire of hearing what amazing work the Lord is accomplishing. However, there are those times when I fall on my face crying out for God’s great hand of protection or deliverance even from a line up. Those are … Continue reading My Nephew & The Line UP!
When God’s Answer Hurts!
After the loss of a loved one, doing mundane things, like the wash, seems to be so robotic. Hanging clean laundry in my closet, I turned to leave when my 6-year-old grandson (who had followed me) asked what all those notes were on the wall of my closet.
