OK, I’ll just come out and admit it – the spiritual discipline of fasting is not one discipline that I have practiced very well. As a matter of fact, I can probably count on one hand the times that I have fasted. I’m sure you’re wondering why. The truth: I love to eat! I’m a … More I’m Soooo Hungry! Oh, Really?
The other day I started thinking about a conversation my sister and I had with our mother years and years ago – it was about Jesus. Mother did not yet know Jesus personally, but even so, this conversation opened the eyes of my sister and I to a stark new realization as to just how … More What’s Being Taught In Our Churches?
I have a picture on my home office wall that I absolutely love. It is a picture showing Jesus giving a great big hug to a person who has just entered through the doors of the Heavenlies.

What are they going to “do” with it all? And, why can’t I “have” some? No matter where you … More Life Just Ain’t Easy, Is It?
A few days ago I wrote about yo-yo’s, and how unfortunately my emotions appear to be just like one sometimes. But today I have to reflect on precious friends – brothers and sisters in Christ – who through prayer helped me get the string back up on my yo-yo once again. Going back to our … More Friends – What Would We Do Without Them?
Ever felt like you’re a yo-yo? I remember when I was a little girl I used to watch some people do amazing tricks with yo-yo’s, like Rock the Cradle or Walk the Dog. But now yo-yo tricks have taken it up a notch: They even have tricks called Darth Vadar or Chuck Norris’ Beard (huh?). … More Up & Down and Up & Down…
Do you ever just get filled with a deep dread? You just get plain scared? You suddenly realize deep in your soul that “it could have been me?” We as Christians know that God is with us always, but still sometimes we just get frightened. It could be because of something we’ve done, it could … More Whoa – That Could Have Been Me!
My husband and I were out driving, and all of a sudden angels popped into my mind. Why? I have no idea, actually.
