I grew up making a lot of mistakes, but it wasn't until my husband and I lost 2 children in a 5-month period that I finally realized what True Love was.
I don’t like the season of winter. It gets dark around 5:00 pm. I feel like it’s time to go to bed. And it’s not just because I’m getting older! As far back as I can remember I’ve always disliked it. I need light – light makes me feel so much more alive. It gives … More Is It Berry Pickin’ Time Yet?
How would you react if you asked for prayer about a major issue, knew hundreds of people were praying, and then nothing happened?

What you were doing last month at this time? How about last week? Yesterday??? I don’t know about you, but my head sometimes feels like it’s going to explode.

Going under the knife … yikes! Definitely not a fun thing. But when I had my thyroidectomy about 8 years ago I finally came to realize you definitely need to listen to health care providers; but when things don’t go as planned, there’s really only one medical professional to completely trust – The Divine Surgeon. … More A Divine Operation
The past couple weeks have been a little mind-blowing. It never ceases to amaze me how when you feel your life is plugging along just fine, God decides to shake things up a bit.

A couple years ago, I received my certificate – I was now a brand new member of the local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). I was so excited!
