The Love Letter That was Never Opened
During the holidays, my sweet, nostalgic, romantic husband, Larry, loves to watch Hallmark Christmas movies. Of the two of us, I'll have to say he's the most nostalgic. He loves to remember a simpler time; he especially cherishes those moments on a Christmas card of a...
Cracks
I was walking and praying one night, and I saw cracks in concrete. Some places were small, some were larger, and some had developed into holes. As I walked and prayed, I was reminded of the Armor of God in Ephesians 6:10-18. I thought of times that I have had cracks...
Hallelujah! Y’all Praise God
"Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns." (Revelation 19:6 ESV) Hallelujah! Ya'll Praise God This has...
Healing Rain
"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name." Psalms 100:4 (KJV) In the spring of 2007, I got an invitation to attend a 72-hour spiritual retreat. It took a small army to make this retreat happen....

How Marvelous!
It's Sunday morning. I'm sitting in church, and some of our members start singing, "I Stand Amazed in the Presence" (Charles H. Gabriel 1905). I'm sitting there listening to the beautiful blend of voices in the quartet that is singing when, all of a sudden, the baby...
Family Traits
Before the days of caller ID, many of my phone conversations began something like this: Phone: "Ring, ring." Me: "Hello." Voice: "Hi, Sis!" Me: "Hi!" My greeting was often followed by several seconds of silence while I desperately tried to determine which of my three...
Homesick
We have all seen the news, the heartbreaking scenes of lives lost with loved ones left to mourn. Not knowing when this will end and how to go on. It is unfathomable of the hate one must possess to do this. I am sure, like most, since this began, my mind has been a...
The Plans We Make
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” Proverbs 16:9 Have you recently determined to do something and had the thought, "well that didn't go as I planned "? I can definitely say that I have! My daughter and I were scheduled to go on a...
