  • “It Was the Love,” He Said….

    “It Was The Love” I just heard a man’s testimony on the radio this morning that struck a chord with me.  He said that he grew up Muslim.  However, through a lot of adverse things in his life, he became an Atheist. At one point a couple of years ago, he decided he was tired…

  • THROUGH A CHILD’S EYES

    When my daughter was young, I worked full-time as a single mother.  My mom would pick her up from school.  When I got off, I would go to my parents’ house and we would all have dinner together before taking her home.  During those times – my dad always had milk with his evening meal.…

  • Bittersweet Life Events

    Lots of things have taken place of late (since March).  All have been quite emotional and has taken me on quite the journey of soul-searching and learning. Without notice, my employer laid several people off – and I was included in that group.  My supervisor called me while I was on vacation to break the…

  • Can You Believe It Is 2014?!

    It’s 2014…..can you believe it!?  Another year has flown by already.  This year will mark many changes for me – some of them will be bittersweet. I’m not one to do New Year’s resolutions or anything like that – for me it has always simply been a new number on the calendar and that was…

  • Take Time to Reflect

    I just got back from the BEST vacation!  We haven’t been on an out-of-town vacation in almost 4 years – so needless to say, it was MUCH needed.  But besides that, God revealed a lot of things to me. Briefly I will tell you that we live in the Texas Panhandle – if you have…

  • This N That

    Hello!  Just checking in again.  It’s been a few days.  I keep having headaches lately – so by the time I get home, I’m not too interested in the computer.  I think it’s the front that finally blew in today. First, let me tell you that I really learned a LOT at church this past…

  • Mind Games

    WHY do people find it fun to play mind games on others?  I don’t mean little jokes for the enjoyment of everyone involved – to create laughter.  But the kind where they say or do things and then do a 180 or pretend like it never happened, etc.  It’s like they they get some sort…
