What negative thoughts are dominating your minds? You’re not good enough, no one loves you, I’m not pretty enough, I’m not skinny enough, I don’t fit in, etc. When we don’t have God’s promises embedded in our hearts and minds, that leaves room for the enemy to sneak in and takeover. I know I have to personally listen […]
A few months back, I was praying for some time off work. Just a little break is all I was asking for. Then low and behold, I was involved in a car accident and have been unable to work since May. Ugh! When people say be careful what you pray for, I am a great […]
If you are a Christian and have been saved by Jesus’ blood that was shed on the cross, is that where everything stops? Is being saved enough or do we need a lord, a king to follow? I fear this is the mind set of many brothers and sisters. Christ didn’t die so we can just […]
Later, when Jesus was alone with the twelve disciples and with the others who were gathered around, they asked him what the parables meant. He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secret of the Kingdom of God. But I use parables for everything I say to outsiders, so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled: […]
We all have bad days, am I right? It may start out as a beautiful morning, birds singing, kids are getting along while getting ready for school, everything is moving smooth as silk, then “bam!” Car starts spitting because you are on “E” because you forgot to get gas the night before.

My pastor made up a new word Sunday…”Adamness” – meaning are we stuck in the old earthly suit and slaves to sin or are we with Jesus, free of sin, redeemed and forgiving? Before Jesus, we had no way of making it right with God because He can’t stand sin. Yes, they offered the blood […]
Come on fall and cooler weather, am I right? Oh man this summer has been so hot, humid, and uncomfortable to say the least. I, along with everyone I know, are so ready for the next season of cool, refreshing breezes blowing in our opened windows and feeling the freshness and crispness of the autumn […]
As some of you may know, I recently had to undergo surgery due to an auto accident I was involved in several months ago. At no fault of my own, I was rear-ended while stopped at a red light, causing my car to spin out of control, seriously injuring my shoulder. I have been out […]
1 John 3:18-20 How many of us know of at least one person in our lives that is all talk but no action? They say what they are going to do and make promises, but then ultimately, they never end up following through. While growing up, I know that I had some family members like […]
As summer is now over, my hanging plants and flowers are starting to wither away. They flourished for months, giving me much pleasure with their floral colors and scents; but now it’s time to renew my pots and refresh them with new late summer foliage. In our lives, it’s good to do this every now […]
