Is the Bible Outdated?
Two thoughts for today...Sex and relevancy of the bible: First of all, I am so grateful for the letters, messages, and texts I’ve received, and conversations I’ve had with others regarding the topic of purity, specifically virginity. A huge THANK YOU! A couple of...
How do I dress today?
Do you wake up in the morning and wonder, “What do I wear today?” Or maybe you’re someone who planned your outfit the night before. Oh my, are you one of those who plan your attire for the week?! Good for you. That’s definitely not me. Either way, the thought goes...
Everything will be okay when…
In Deuteronomy 28:1-6 we read about what happens when we obey God. Here’s the simple deal….Just obey, and everything will be okay! I’ve even said those words to my students at school when we go over the expectations of our classroom. Think about it. If we just read...

Time for a Transformation?

Wow! I’m astonished! But then again I’m not. Women, you have GOT to LOVE YOURSELF and know WHOSE you are. This morning I was working out a Curves. Yes, Curves. I love it! (Story to follow on why Curves.) The lady that was working out beside me was new. She had to be...
Encouragement Through Songs
“Encourage each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord. Always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 5:19-20 I sing because I’m happy. I sing because I’m...
Don't Just Be Good Enough!
“So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” Galatians 6:9 A phrase that my church recently used in a sermon series was something to the effect of, “Don’t just be good enough”. Over the...
