An Indian girl walks into a Chick-Fil-A… (Isn’t this how all great stories start out?) In case you didn’t figure it out already, I am that Indian girl and I was at Chick-Fil-A this past weekend…on a Saturday of course, because we all know they are closed on Sunday (which is cool but not cool when

Sometimes, it is hard being a woman. I’m not talking about those particular “days of the month” if you know what I am saying.  I’m not even referring to labor. I’m also not talking about how many women not only work outside the home, but they also are the manager at home.  And believe it

“Can you pray for me?” How many times a week…maybe even a day…do you hear that? It doesn’t just happen with your immediate circle of family & friends.  One peek on social media and you often encounter a whole other set of requests. And I love that. I love that people reach out to people for

In this picture, he didn’t have time to change. Look at that face. I don’t know what it is. Maybe something happened in childhood that scarred him? Oh wait.  Maybe I’m actually thinking of my

It happens every Sunday when the preacher is winding down and the band makes their way back on stage.  We watch their every move like we’ve never seen someone pick up a guitar before. It transpired at a meeting I was at last week.  One woman stepped out of the room because she needed to cough

Maybe you’ve heard that the Dallas Cowboys are 9-1? Maybe you’ve also heard that our rookie quarterback, Dak Prescott, isn’t playing like a rookie and is leading our team to a record breaking kind of season?! And guess what else he does? He throws away his own trash. Hopefully, I didn’t lose you when I

Hello ladies, The mission of Whispers & Fringes has always been to “empower women on a quest for more.”  Over the past 5 years, we have done various Bible studies, mentored, started a Facebook page and website which includes daily devotions: www.whispersandfringes.com.

I’m not big on name brands or labels. But there is one item in my house that still has a tag on it. This wire basket may look like a regular basket to you but look closely at the tag. That one label sets it apart. Magnolia is the home decor brand by Chip &
