Good Words of Advice
Here are three great verses that I could plenty of examples on. But, God’s word just says it best. Proverbs 10:9, “Honest people can always feel secure, but lying cheaters will be caught.” If you know you have not said nor done anything wrong when you are being...
Do you have a problem?
What gets in your way? Is it sports, job, spouse, friends, money, drugs, alcohol, shopping, hobbies, your own kids, etc.? Some things on this list seem harmless, while others could be deadly. But if you let any of the aforementioned get your way of The Way, then you...
Do you need a “time-out”?
Do you need a “time-out”? I thoroughly enjoy being with my family and friends. But there are times when I just need a time-out. I need to get away and have some “me time”. You may be thinking, “How selfish of you?” or you may be one of many who say, “I’m with ya,...
Life is but a Cloud
Do you ever observe the clouds and see what type of shape you can imagine it being? Many of road trips, picnics, and days of playing outside have lent themselves time for doing just that, “cloud observations”. But what happens…as soon as you decide that you see the...

Don’t Just Talk the Talk
It’s not who you know or who you are that will guarantee you a life in heaven. It is you accepting and believing Who you know and Whose you are. That “Who” is Jesus Christ. No matter if you are a Jew, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist, or any other...
A Rollercoaster of Emotions
What a range of emotions Mary must have felt being the mother of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, The Savior of the world. I applaud her. When I read Luke 2:41-51 I could just imagine the roller-coaster of emotions Mary must have experienced. Verse 44: Mary and Joseph...

It's Time!
Let’s keep it simple. In Psalm 37:27 we read, “Turn from evil and do good”. Well, what are you waiting for? Turn! Turn from sin and self, and turn to God and His goodness. That’s it. Plain and simple. “Turn from evil and do good”. You’ll be glad you did....
When you stumble…
Have you seen the Capri Sun commercial with the mom doing everything for her son? (Check out this funny commercial on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDgjJxJp6DQ) The lady cracks me up! This is what many of us parents want to do for our kids, but we know that they...
"Blood is thicker than water."
Family. That is the word that seemed to come to mind when I read Numbers 26:23-65 and Luke 1:57-80 today. I am a blessed girl when it comes to family. I have three older brothers whom I adore. They have given me three godly sister-in-laws, two nieces, and...
