Variety Among Christians
My husband and I travel a good bit. Our favorite places are those with natural beauty. Snow-capped mountains. Glistening lakes. Foliage in all shapes, sizes, and colors. White, sandy beaches stroked over and over again by crystal clear water. It’s the variety of God’s handiwork that keeps us amazed. Visiting a variety of churches keeps […]

50 Shades of Grey
Picture in your mind’s eye, a black-and-white photograph displaying a bird’s-eye-view of your Sunday morning crowd. If the soul could be readily observed, you would no doubt observe 50 shades of grey. Some poor souls come to worship with spirits kicking and screaming as loved ones drag them across the threshold. Since they’ve not allowed themselves […]
Are You Living a Dog’s Life?
Cold weather is not my friend. I’m a wimp when it comes to north winds and below freezing temperatures. I’d rather work up a good sweat in 90-degree heat any day of the week. So, driving up to my front yard, full of the neighbor’s trash on a morning cold enough to cancel school, did […]
Do You Need Some Assurance?
Your response to last week’s blog opened my eyes to something we all seem to be craving. Blessed assurance. If ever we needed to hear, “It’s going to be okay”, it’s now. Remember that old Fannie Crosby hymn? “Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of […]
Does the Holy Spirit Raise Your Eyebrows?
They came timid and fearful, but left confidently empowered year after year. Who were they, you ask? How did they achieve such confidence? Year after year, a brand new crop of fifth graders would make their way from elementary school to middle school with great fear and trembling. They were big kids now – and […]
Thank You
What was it about children that Jesus thought we should imitate? They run around with dirty faces without a care, cry unashamedly when they are sad, erupt with laughter by the smallest tickle, and expect someone else to take care of their snotty noses. But Jesus said, “Unless you change and become like little children, […]
How’s Your Becoming Coming Along?
In 1997 my Pa Pa graduated from this life to the forever Life he was meant for. While on this earth, he was a natural teacher and eventually became a high school principal. Later, he served as a rehabilitation counselor for students at Auburn University where he seized every opportunity to share his faith in […]
Need a Warmer Blanket?
From November to January, I am the older woman. Ninety-four days to be exact, but who’s counting? Thankfully, yesterday my husband’s age caught up with mine. We’ve been married thirty-five years, so that’s 3,290 days worth of “old” jokes. That’s a passel of smiles he’s brought to my face. Ron is a combination of many […]
I Am Confident in You
Big hugs go to those of you who have been a part of the Perfection Road family since August 2010. You who are faithful to join me every Tuesday morning provide tremendous blessings. I absolutely love getting to meet and talk with you when I’m out and about. Your stories of God’s faithfulness encourage me […]
