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.

His Desire for Me
So much of this earthly life is lived in limbo! Like when you are waiting nine months for a baby to be born, not to mention twenty-seven hours of labor to meet that new baby, like my youngest daughter pulled off! And almost as bad, is the waiting for text messages reassuring you everything is … Continue reading His Desire for Me
Stand up & Stand Out!
All the stories about "only a boy named David" have caused me to ponder just what type of mother did this boy have! I mean really?! “Hey mom, you’ll never guess what happened last night while I was watching the sheep!
