Different Words For Different Folks

We all have them, but won’t admit it. Yesterday’s “Oprah” discussed the cultural biases and norms which exist in conversation. For example, two people of the same cultural backgrounds can use language in conversation that might be offensive if someone from a different culture were to use it. Context...

One Special Lady

My mom is so special. I am so thankful to the Lord for her! Mom raised the four of us alone, as my father was very uninvolved growing up. We kids were and always have been the most important thing in her life, second only to the Lord Jesus. Following my parents divorce, my father’s uninvolvement... Sign in to see full entry.

Hope For The Future

The message at church today was great! I just had to share it with you! Our pastor talked about all of the symbols the Lord has left the world, which prove The Holy Bible is inspired by God himself. I know… I know… so many religions claim to be the God inspired truth. But how many have been proven... Sign in to see full entry.

Just The Way You Are

I am having a terrific weekend. The message today really hit home. It reminded me of how important it is to share Jesus with others. This world claims to have quick fixes for everything and makes a bunch of promises it never keeps. God loves this world very much. So much that He sent His son Jesus... Sign in to see full entry.

Keep Christ In America!

What a beautiful day! It’s sunny outside, but there’s still a definite chill in the air. I am usually proud to live outside of DC, but today the behavior of our government saddens me. I am saddened and angered by efforts being made to take Christ out of Christmas in favor of the politically correct... Sign in to see full entry.

When We Are Weak

Today’s quiet time message was such an encouraging reminder! When we are weak, the Lord will strengthen us and cause us to stand. We are undeserving of His love. Yet, He loved the world so much that He died on the cross for our sins! If we trust in Him, we will not die but will experience the... Sign in to see full entry.

Jesus Is In Control!

It’s cold outside and we are expecting snow and ice tonight. Today’s quiet time focused on Isaiah 40. What a wonderful reminder that I have no reason to be afraid! The Lord is on my side and is working everything out in my life for his glory and my good. The Lord is in control, I just need to let... Sign in to see full entry.

Private Lessons

I am so excited! Today I start private tutoring lessons with a second grade little girl. We will be working on reading three times a week. I am so thankful for the Lord’s love and care. I pray that he will be honored in my life and that His love would be shared in my lesson with S today. I hope you... Sign in to see full entry.
