Because I know prayer changes things, we must pray and keep on praying. Here are some posts that will build your faith and inspire you to persist until you breakthrough to victory.
Kimberly was always such an adorable little girl. She had dark hair and eyes and a smile that lit up her whole face. But one of my favorite stories to tell about her doesn’t light up her face at all. Our whole family loved and still loves to go junking. My jam-packed-full […]
It made the ABC news blog. And it was both good news and bad news. I’ll tell you the good news first. Deb Thompson is like me, she likes bling. Her daughter was shopping at her local Goodwill, when she ran across a pair of Capri’s that had some “bling.” Deb checked them out and […]
There have been many times that I’ve opened the drain in the bottom of the bathtub, then instructed one of my children to get out of the tub. Often I gathered them in my arms, wrapping them in a soft towel, while rubbing them dry and hugging them all at the same time. Sometimes they […]
I love salt. Now I understand it is very important not to get carried away when I‘m pouring it from the round blue box. Still I must admit, I’m a little heavy handed on the salt when it comes to French fries, sweet potato fries. That saltiness on the sweet fries is “delish”, to quote […]
I had been warned that it was cooler in the mountains, so I wore long pants and a quarter length sleeve. A light drizzle started as we approached the Blue Ridge Parkway, so we ate our picnic lunch in the car. I knew the mountains held the last of the mountain laurels and this would […]
I don’t know if this happens to you, but sometimes I loose my might to fight, because I feel overwhelmed. I’m faced with too many things and everything seems to much for me to tackle. Let me explain. In the last few weeks we uncovered a termite invasion in our house, horrors! Our truck had […]
I wanted to see the Mountain Laurels in bloom so we decided to go to church in Spruce Pine. As I entered the restroom a nice lady greeted me. We began to chat. She was originally from Florida too. Actually, everyone I met that day had lived in Florida at some point in their life. […]
One of the reasons we lose our might to fight is we get discouraged. In a culture of instant gratification, we want to say a quick little prayer and poof there’s the answer. Most of the time, God uses time to test our determination and our persistence. He builds character and endurance in us as […]
Florence Chadwick broke the world record in 1950 when she swam across the English Channel in 13 hours and 20 minutes. And while she is notably the first woman to swim the English Channel both ways in 1951. Still, she’s best known for her “not so successful” swim in 1952. Ms. Chadwick’s new goal was […]
Kimberly made an interesting comment on my blog … ”I know your prayers have helped me get back up when I wasn’t sure I had any fight left!” I’ve been there. I didn’t stay there but I’ve felt like Everywhere I turn I see people facing huge challenges and battles. Many of those faces […]
Kimberly was down the street from where I walk, buying a few groceries, and I wanted to get to see her. So, I ran. It was not a pretty site, all that fat flapping in the breeze. It sounded like my bike did when, as a kid, I clothes-pinned a baseball card in the spokes. […]
Maybe you don’t need a definition, but I did. There’s a lot of talk about heroes. Somehow I missed the fact that there’s a show on TV now called “Heroes.” Then there’s all these super hero and comic book hero movies coming to the theater. I haven’t seen any of the TV shows or the […]
