Ugh!!! Lord, I’ve failed again! It’s just January 4th and I’ve already broken my diet (What? I got really, really hungry!), quit exercising (Yah, you know I just don’t have the energy that I used to.), failed to pray daily, (I fell asleep a few times before I remembered!), and I’ve not been faithful to read my Bible daily. (Again, I fell asleep before I remembered.) If this sounds like you, don’t let Satan trick you into thinking the whole year is lost! You don’t have to wait until January 2022 to make a fresh start! Perhaps you had a strong desire to do what is right when you made…

Faith Under His Wings

Most able-bodied people could have walked the distance in 11 to 14 days!

The Israelites kept groaning and giving God reasons why they couldn’t…

(Her hair turned a different color several times a day! All men know how to make a ladies heart skip a beat, like Alfalfa did for Carla, in The Little Rascals when he sang, “You are so beautiful to me! You’re everything I hoped for, you’re everything I need…” Men, though they…

Attitude Matters!
I want to remind you that the information in my blogs is always from the heart and true. Today, I recalled a series of events that happened to me right before Christmas this past year. Let me rewind a bit first. My children are ages 16, 18, 24, and 27. After years of filling Christmas stockings for the whole family with comical things for laughs, I decided that I would just start filling my two-year-old’s stocking with the good stuff. I honestly thought everyone was tired of the silliness anyway! When I told my twenty-four year-old son, he complained, “Awe, don’t stop, that was always the most fun part of…
