My heart is broken for the parents and families that lost their children and loved ones in the horrific tragedy Friday. I mourn with them. I cannot begin to imagine their loss as its reality seeps into their lives shattering their normal and leaving a gaping hole in their hearts. This was a […]
We ministered in Tallahassee this weekend at Freedom Church. My dear friends Kyle and Becky Alford are the Family and Children’s pastors there. They are passionate God chasers that are shaping lives with the Word of God. I was invited to minister to the parents during the Sunday School hour, the church family in the […]
The chances are great that there will be many cooks making their very first Thanksgiving meal this year. I’ve written this blog because I want to help both them and you avoid some cooking blunders that could ruin your Thanksgiving. I must admit, my only claim to fame is “Making the Smoke Alarm Go Off the […]
Trust Him- Jesus Will Never Leave You! Fall is my favorite time of the year. I can’t begin to describe the splendor of this year’s fall canvas. Vibrant hues of bright yellows, delicious oranges, explosive reds and emerald greens kissed a flamboyant blue sky. We watched brilliant golden leaves flutter and twirl their way to […]
My mom wasn’t really into Halloween when I was a kid, but she let us go Trick or Treating. Perhaps she was driven somewhat by fear, which kept us very close to home at all times, so I’m not sure how I ended up at my grandparent’s house three blocks down the street on Halloween Night. […]
He won. But he lost more than he won. Maybe you read about it! This news story is almost too disgusting to discuss. Don’t read this blog, if you’re eating. Edward Arch bold won The Live Roach Eating Contest, but died afterward. I’m not kidding. It really happened. There just isn’t an EWWW loud enough […]
I hate empty! I hate to look into my wallet and see it empty, especially when I’m standing at the cash register to pay for my order…or when I suddenly realize my gas tank is empty, and there’s no gas station in sight. Frightened to realize the gas gauge is on empty and know there’s […]
Have you ever received a gift that really shocked you and not in a good way either. I mean one so bad you thought “What were they thinking?” or “What in the world is this?” All you could say was, “You shouldn’t have. Really! You shouldn’t have!” Or if you’re from the South, like me, […]
Ahh, the wonders of Christmas: Twinkling lights. Fragrant wreaths. Luscious treats. Good friends. Wonderful relatives….and perhaps some not so wonderful relatives. Christmas just wouldn’t be complete without those “not so” wonderful relatives. Don’t be coy, you know the ones. They try your patience and fray your nerves. As you send out your Christmas cards, maybe […]
I first heard about it on one of those morning news shows. I was working on the website, doing boring repetitive tasks, so I flipped on the TV. It was just a brief mention, grouped with a hodge podge of money saving ideas. But, it grabbed my attention–so I grabbed a pen and wrote down […]
The friendly clerk at the check-in counter promised snow. Being an Alabama girl at heart, I was excited. But, all we got was bone chilling rain. On our trip back home we were relying on our trusty GPS for guidance. Our GPS, bless its heart, routed us through dizzying switchbacks up a mountain road. […]
Thankful I am so thankful for you! I want to thank you for the difference you have made in so many lives. Thank you for your faithfulness when it wasn’t convenient… for your sacrifice when no one was looking… for your love when it wasn’t returned… for living a life that glorifies God. Thank you for […]
