Fall In The Air!

What a beautiful day! I heard an encouraging message about putting on my spiritual armor and sharing Jesus. I enjoyed watching Florida and Tennessee last night. Another great day for football, I’m getting ready for the NFL games. I am still not feeling well, but am so thankful for the Lord’s... Sign in to see full entry.

Katrina And God

What a nice day! I am not feeling well so will rest in a bit. I am encouraged by my quiet time message today on the Lord’s purposes during Hurricane Katrina. The Lord is the Creator and Maker of all things. He has a reason for the occurrence of everything. Although we may not see or understand it... Sign in to see full entry.

What Influences Our Choices?

What influences our choices? I am saddened. My friend shared with me that she was caught transporting drugs to her now former fiancée in prison. She is on probation herself, after serving three years of what would have been a twenty year sentence for another crime. While I appreciated her tearful... Sign in to see full entry.

Things I Am Thankful For

That Jesus loves me just the way I am, so much so that He was willing to die for my sins, so that I can be with Him in Heaven again someday. For my mom, who always encouraged me to be all I could be. For Amelia, the best sister, I am so proud of you! For Blaine, the sweetest brother who always keeps... Sign in to see full entry.

No Evil Will Win

Hard to believe, but the fourth anniversary of the 9-11 attacks will soon be upon us. While this was an unspeakable national tragedy, the terrorists did not break our spirit or win the war. My birthday is Sunday. I am thankful for each day of life, as it has been a blessing from the Lord and a... Sign in to see full entry.

Who Are You?

Today’s message was about Abel and Caine. Abel gave the Lord his best offering. Caine gave the Lord his leftovers. We are all guilty of this. Like Caine, we so often rely on our efforts, giving God the leftovers, taking care of ourselves. Learning from Abel, we should be excited about worshipping... Sign in to see full entry.

Fireflies In A Jar

As we save the days of summer like fireflies in a jar, its time to face the music. Whether we like it or not, a new school year will soon be on the doorstep for your children or the children in your life. Gone are the days when school began after Labor Day. Schools in our Maryland county open their... Sign in to see full entry.

A Huge Kick!

What a beautiful day! The Lord gets a huge kick out of surprising me in the coolest ways! I hope you are sitting down. As you know, I have been looking for a job. You can’t imagine how happily surprised and shocked I was when I received an invitation to return to Florida as soon as possible to... Sign in to see full entry.

Once In A Blue Moon

What a beautiful day! It is sunny and hot, but too humid for me to go to church this morning. I know the Lord understands. After all, as a Christian I believe trying to live more like Jesus in my daily life matters more to Him than whether I miss a Sunday at church once in a blue moon. I am so glad...

Beyond My Wildest Dreams!

I was in the checkout line at the grocery store today when an elderly man looked at me, smiled and said, “Hi, I can’t believe I had to go sixteen miles to the store only to stand in line for Bananas.” “My wife has a heart condition and needs the potassium,” he explained as the line moved slowly...
