Are you a good friend? Hmm, I hope I am but, what is the description of a good friend? Well, my thoughts are: Make yourself available anytime day or night, to talk to, vent to or in some cases, have bail money! Good friends also, pray for each other, let them know when they are […]
Do you feel worthless? Nothing you do is ever good enough? Everything you try fails? You’re not good enough for the job, spouse or for anything or anybody else? Do you really think that is God talking to you?! Of course not! That is the devil planting lies, deception and crap in your mind to discourage you. […]

Let’s face it, we can all get down and out no matter what the season is. Life can definitely get overwhelming at times with busy schedules, financial stress, relationship […]
One of my favorite things in life. Unplanned visits, spur of the moment lunch dates, or my cousin calling me and saying, “get ready, I’m picking you up for a day trip”. Lol, yes, she has done this. I love the excitement of the unknown and unexpected adventures we have gone on. But then, when […]
