“Great blessings belong to those who don’t listen to evil advice, who don’t live like sinners, and who don’t join those who make fun of God. Instead, they love the Lord’s teachings and think about them day and night. So they grow strong, like a tree planted by a stream— a tree that produces fruit…

Have you ever walked past a penny on the ground? Me too, then I heard a man say “Pennie’s make dollars”! From that day on I don’t pass by any money on the ground without picking it up. You are probably wondering where I am going with this? If you take a penny, toss it…

Today I looked at my hands and saw an old lady. I was so shocked I picked up the phone and called my daughter and told her “My hands look so old “. I should comment that I don’t feel old and I’ve been told I don’t look my age. 58 is really not that…

You ever find yourself in the middle of your mess singing the gospel song by Kirk Franklin:I’ve gone through the fireAnd I’ve been through the floodI’ve been broken into piecesSeen lightnin’ flashin’ from aboveBut through it all I rememberThat He loves meAnd He caresAnd He’ll never put more on meThan I can bear It’s a…

“I will stand like a guard and watch. I will wait to see what the Lord will say to me. I will wait and learn how he answers my questions. The Lord answered me, “Write down what I show you. Write it clearly on a sign so that the message will be easy to read.…

Oh how I love meeting people and experiencing God in new ways. I was checking out of a hotel (who will remain nameless, not because it was not fantastic but because this post is not about them) and the front desk staff was friendly, conversational and inspiring. My husband had on a shirt from the…

My first thought was “I’m not going to church, I don’t have nothing to wear”. Ooooh the enemy tried it, but immediately the spirit of God rose up and sent me the thought “what does what you wear have to do with anything”? Ok ok ok ok I get it.I searched for a scripture to…

I was thinking about why we struggle so in this world and I realize we have normalized our dysfunction.
