Recently, a Christian musician has gained mainstream notoriety.  She has even been featured on a couple of popular talk-shows where she also had the opportunity to sing. The songs she chose were from her most recent album and were encouraging and uplifting.  She sang about the Savior. And people criticized her.  Christian people. Why did […]

My husband and I always enjoy hanging out with our nephews. When we have the opportunity to take them out, they are always very grateful. When they were younger especially, the thank you was a bit more drawn out. They would proceed to list everything from our visit that they were thankful for. “Thanks for […]

I voted.  And so did a lot of other people.   At this point, the results of the election are still uncertain but here’s what we do know… Psalms 9:7 But the Lord will remain and sit enthroned forever; He has prepared and established His throne for judgment. 8  And He will judge the world in righteousness; He […]

When my husband, Lance, started traveling for work many years ago, it was really hard. I wasn’t used to being alone in the house and not seeing him everyday. Eventually, I did get used to it…and actually started to enjoy some of the perks of it. (Um…Maybe I should clarify.)   Of course, I would […]

I had never seen myself without it. There are pictures of me when I was about 4 years old, wearing a sleeveless shirt…and there it was: a scar on my left shoulder.   As I have gotten older, unfortunately the scar has grown along with me.  I try to carefully choose my clothing to avoid […]

Back in elementary school, my class gathered together in the gym to learn square dancing.  Yes, square dancing. (It is Texas after all).

I had just walked off the stage after speaking to a group of women.  I was greeted by gracious cheers and people patting me on the back. Then, I came face to face with someone who I deeply admire. “Thank you for being faithful.” Now granted, much of my talk was about being faithful so […]

“At the end of the day people won’t remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.”    There is some question as to who actually said that (most say Maya Angelou) but regardless, there is some truth to that statement.   Rewind…2 weeks ago. It was my birthday and […]

I like big purses and I cannot lie… I’m not a fancy brand kind of girl. I don’t like to change out purses either. I just want one purse that looks good and can hold EVERYTHING I need. My husband gawks at how large my purses are but when he wants hand sanitizer, lotion or […]

For 5 years, I worked as a nurse in a neonatal intensive care unit.  Most of the babies I took care of were born prematurely. When we think of a few months over the course of our lives, it doesn’t seem like much.  But to a child in the womb, that time is crucial. Even […]
