Press On
A few years after I met Jesus, I met Cliff Jacobs. He was a 12-year-old boy with a contagious smile. We met at the baseball field in Sardis City, Alabama, in 1997. Cliff and my son Bobby were on the same baseball team that year. They became good friends and spent a...
The Big Bang Theory?
I guess we all remember the famous television show “Big Bang Theory.” I was hesitant at first to watch, but soon tuned in and realized they were not hammering down the big bang theory of creation in every episode. But there was a main character (Sheldon) who let his...
And God Sent the Alligator
A few years ago, I was part of an event in Kissimmee, Florida. Nothing was going as planned. The power point worked on the trial runs, but refused to work during general sessions. Conference leaders were delayed at airports, others were sick, lunch was delivered late,...
Find Peace

A few weeks ago, on a hot summer morning, I went outside to water my flower garden. Watering in the late evening is best, I know, but I love a morning walk to start my day. I check to see if there are new blooms. I've learned that starting your day with a thing of...
Lonely No More
My husband moved to heaven ten years ago. We were married for forty years and had two children. We had one amazing grandchild. They are grown and have moved away now. My home became very quiet after a lifetime of fun and joy. Last year, my mother was living with me....
Mystery in the Tragedy
“There is a mystery to tragedies like this, We do not know the answer and may never know until God explains all things to us.” This is a quote from Billy Graham when asked why God allows suffering to innocent people. The blog picture was taken just days before the...
