‘All shook up’ Year-long pandemic, COVID deaths and sufferings, human trafficking and starvation, hurricanes, record winter storms in the South creating deaths and major power outages, earthquakes in Japan, Christian leaders falling from grace, political unrest here and in other nations, religious censorship gaining momentum. All this and more in a world that is affected […]
The unknown I can safely say with confidence that all of us have or are encountering something which strikes fear in us. It is usually that which is outside our control. The unknown! And it is most likely something that involves other people. Name one or two of yours. Is it health, financial, your family, our […]
The pandemic What a year…is right. 2020 will go down in world history as one of the worst from many standpoints. Early on, a coronavirus emanating from China swept across the world and COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. Millions have died, and it is still ravaging countries, families, economies. America was enjoying a robust economy […]
“No pain, no gain” Endurance and perseverance…go hand in hand, in every day of our earthly journey. Endurance is experiencing or surviving pain or hardship.

While I love them all, occasionally there is one that really sparks my interest and blesses my heart. Right, that happened today. As with your children and grandchildren, they are all at […]
The unknown Sequestered but not silenced…is my feeling right now in this season of change in our world brought about by the infectious virus outbreak. Due to technology, we can be quarantined from the outside world and our families, but not disconnected from them. I send and receive numerous messages each day. The incoming messages are […]
Sermon on the Mount It was the first day of Spring. I woke up to a steady downpour of rain and joined a group of faithful sisters on a weekly early morning “Cry Out” call. Our facilitator led us in Praise, for His Name and His attributes. Then she led us to pray any Scripture God […]
Dads, what is your view of a ‘blessing’? No, not the one over a meal! A personal, maybe spiritual blessing? Probably, if you have never received one it would be a foreign term to you. Or maybe you did. What was that like; do you remember at least one, maybe more? Did it have an […]
