My refrigerator has been having issues. The temperature is inconsistent and the water dispenser is glitchy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. My husband has changed out the filter, called a repairman and Googled how to fix it- but no luck (first world problems, I know).  So…until we get the issue resolved (or get a new

I have the best team! I sincerely appreciate what every one of my coworkers brings to the table.  Our most recent hire came to us with no previous pharmacy experience, BUT he had energy and a desire to learn. So we brought him on!  Every day, he shows up, on time and ready to work. 

My son motioned goodbye to the guys from the gym. He managed to keep himself together…until the car door closed. That’s when he began to sob. He had fractured his leg and he was in excruciating pain- both physically and emotionally.  Just before heading to the ER, I called my sister. She began to pray

And whenever the anointed harpist, David, would play his harp, “Saul would relax and feel better, and the evil spirit

Of all things, I was in the MIDDLE of a prayer call when I clicked over and heard the news.  “Mrs. Samuel, could you come and pick up Caleb, he is hurt.”  Really God? I was on a prayer call and THIS is what happens. I’m ashamed to say, that was my one sided, real, raw

Two Sundays ago, I walked into church and thought to myself, ‘Where in the world do we go from here?’ While I had no doubt that our pastor was doing great and enjoying the glory of Heaven, my heart was still so heavy from our loss here on earth.  So many questions filled my head. 

God gave me this devotion several years ago. I dug it out of the archives, because I really needed the reminder. Perhaps you do too. Let’s celebrate the small wins. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Storms have a way of bringing life to a complete halt….but they also have a way of making us see hope in even the slightest

I couldn’t wait to talk to her…but what would I say? What exactly do you say to someone who saved your mom’s life? “Thank you” just doesn’t seem like enough.  It all began a few weeks ago. My parents attended a funeral in Houston. At the burial site, my mom passed out. Actually, she did
