Praying for Leaders: A Call for Gratitude and Grace
November is traditionally the month we work hard to remind ourselves of all we have to be grateful for.

Personally, every day I am trying to focus on oneContinue reading “Praying for Leaders: A Call for Gratitude and Grace”
Tea With Elephants Book Review
This book by Robin Jones Gunn is a 10 out of 10!  Usually when I get a new book from one of my favorite authors, the world stops. I make a cup of tea (hot or iced depending on the season). I put on my proverbial “do not disturb” sign and dig in. AndContinue reading “Tea With Elephants Book Review”
The Special Treasure of God’s Children
Have you ever felt like a Cinderella, forgotten, doomed to the basement of life, getting the leftovers, watching the evil stepsisters get all the benefits of a life of wealth and comfort?
Divine Providence: Stories of Protection and Guidance

The Treasure of Worry
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much moreContinue reading “The Treasure of Worry”
Experiencing Freedom: Overcoming Fear with Faith
It was one of the most excruciating experiences of my life. It was frustrating. It was humiliating.
And it was freeing.
Finding Freedom in Choosing Faith over Fear
It was one of the most excruciating experiences of my life. It was frustrating. It was humiliating.
And it was freeing.
Finding Freedom in Talking to God
How do you view prayer? We can tend to think of it as a grocery list we take to the store once a week. In reality, it should be an ongoing conversation with God.
Breaking the Chains of Guilt: Embracing Grace and Redemption
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.

She is Clothed With Strength and Dignity
She taught me, from her recliner and wheelchair, how to cook, how to serve, how to love my neighbor as myself. I learned compassion, patience, and true joy of serving through practical experiences of lifting, transferring, schlepping wheelchairs, bathing and grooming, cleaning her house, shopping for my grandparent’s groceries and cooking them their favorite foods until they no longer needed the foods and trappings of this earthly life.
NEW BOOKS!
I am also so excited to announce that I have completed two projects which are now available on Amazon.
Love and Good Works
Although the giving of gifts is one way to show love, I was reminded that the Bible tells us love is so much more than romantic feelings or familial affection; there is something much deeper.
Destination RESToration The Cost and Value of Restoration
I am a bargain hunter. My husband likes to remind me that it is only a good deal if it is something you need or really want and find it for a great price. But there is something very satisfying about finding an old beat up piece of furniture and recreating it into something beautiful and useful, especially if it ends up being a gift for a special friend.
Isn’t that how God is with us? He finds us all broken down, worn out, sometimes we may even think of ourselves as worthless. And then He makes something beautiful of our lives.
