In your personal opinion, what do you understand it takes for a person to go to heaven? It is as simple as spelling the word faith out on each finger.

Daily Walking with God

Stop, Look, and Listen

Stop.  Look.  Listen. I’m sure you’ve heard these words since you were a little child.  Your parents would remind you of this before you crossed the street.  You heard that you are to do this before crossing a railroad track (especially if you rode a school bus).  You...

Being a parent isn’t for sissies!

  Being a parent isn’t for sissies! No matter the stage your child is in, you need to remember that “This too shall pass.” I’ve said this quite often in my short 19 years of being a parent. But this stage has me on my knees more than anything. With three children...

God ain't there…I ain't going.

A message from my "Everlasting Mom"

I woke up this morning thinking about my mom, me as a mother, all the motherly-influences I am blessed with in my life, and my late mother-in-law. Tears began to come as I pondered on all the wonderful memories I have with Jany.  There were tears of fondness,...

From the Broken Road to the Blue Sky

Finding the Humor in Difficulty

Are you like me when you watch a movie where the couple wakes up the next morning, roll over with a smile, and gives their spouse (you’d hope they’re their spouse, but most likely not) a big wet kiss, and I say to myself, “Ugh, go brush your teeth!” Morning...

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are? Many people have the attitude that they are owed something when they haven’t done anything or take full advantage of their status no matter the cost.  I’m sure we’ve each had our moments of “I’m owed” attitude, but notice those mentioned are...
