Seeking Him
I believe that every single person needs to have an encounter with Jesus Christ, or they face an eternity in Hell. (John 14:1-3 and Luke 16:24) That is a very bold statement to make in the times we now live, and it's just not comfortable for many people to express...
The Gift of Obedience
This Christmas, I am reminded of the great joy of obedience! When we think of Christmas, we might think of “joy” or “hope,” but rarely “obedience.” The plan of Christmas was brought about through great obedience. Mary was obedient to the revelation of God’s plan to...
Christmas Spirit
The snow was beautiful and very unexpected. Yes, we were told it was possible, but we didn’t believe it would be as much and as picturesque. Many posted pictures on Facebook and commented on how the snow added to their exuberance. I think that snow brings out the...
Batman and Baby Jesus
Children have a unique way of seeing things. It is amazing to witness how clearly they recognize and apply truth. Unlike adults who tend to over-complicate everything, children grasp a concept and apply it—what a blessing when God gifts you with the opportunity to...

The Voice of Help
I used to work at a summer camp in North Carolina where we would go on this hike called “rattlesnake.” It was not a difficult hike, and it had a beautiful view. The very first time I went on this hike with my age group, I was scheduled to lifeguard, so I was going to...
Give Thanks
Thanksgiving is a time to pause and thank God for His blessings. For most, it is easy to give thanks for the good things in life but a bit more challenging to be grateful when problems and pain seem to hit at every turn. The last couple of years have been...
Be More Like Ruth
My husband and I recently celebrated our nineteenth wedding anniversary, and I took a trip back down memory lane to twenty years ago when I moved to Alabama. He and I had dated long-distance for a year, and after much discussion, we had decided I would move. I was...
