CHOICES
Have you ever wanted to give up? Have you ever felt unloved? Have you ever felt alone and that no one cares? Satan loves to put these lies in our minds. He wants us to separate ourselves from everyone: family, friends, and the church because in isolation, he can...
Birdbrain Thinking
Birdbrain Thinking I have been in battle as of late, not one that costs dearly but rather an annoying but comical battle with a bird! My adversary is an Eastern Towhee, Pipilo erythrophthalmus. He has proved to be a formidable opponent. He caught my attention by...
The Sweetest Gift
When I was a little girl, my sister and I would spend the night with my grandparents on the weekend. On Sunday morning, my grandmother would get us up super early because she did not want to be late for church. No kidding, I remember sitting on the couch in my...
