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...
Thy Will Be Done
"Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." Matthew 6:10 Have you ever had a song pierce your heart with such love and gratitude that you could not even form the words to sing it out? For me, that song is Hillary Scott's Thy Will Be Done. The words to the song...

Promise Keeper
When my children were little, I answered more questions than at any other time in my life. My Mother-in-Law always said Richard could ask questions about questions, and she was right. Many times, in giving an answer, I would halfway pay attention to what they were...
Are Your Logs Wet?
Are your logs wet? In 1 Kings 18:33, Elijah trusted and believed in the Almighty Word of God and God’s faithfulness so intensely that (in order to prove God was the one true God) Elijah called upon God to light a fire on the alter where he had soaked the wood in...
I Love You, Lord
Only four words into the second worship song, my eyes could not contain the flood building quickly in them. Hot tears made their way down my cheeks. Completely overcome with gratitude and joy, I focused on the lyrics and worshipped God. "I love You, Lord; Oh, Your...
