Are You A Fixer Upper?
“We take the worst house in the best neighborhood and turn it into our clients’ dream home.” If you recognize these words you might be a fan of HGTV’s hit home improvement show “Fixer Upper”. Chip and Joanna Gaines do indeed turn nightmares into dreams. Chip readily admits his favorite day of the whole process […]
Give an Answer or Share A Reason?
I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating – I stink at math. Numbers boggle my mind, and just for the record, letters ought never be included in a number sentence! Hello?? That’s why they call it a number sentence! But, I digress. Even though the trauma of solving mathematical equations requiring higher-ordered thinking skills […]
I Saved the Best “Thanks” for Last
For the last four weeks I’ve attempted to introduce you to an appetizing assortment of friends who’ve already taken their seats at Heaven’s table. Tom’s life inspired us all to take advantage of every opportunity to share Jesus. Ed and Jean encouraged us to be intentional in our service to others. Carolyn left us a […]
Thanks, Mack

Back during my days of white lace socks and patent leather shoes, my Sunday school teacher asked us to memorize Psalm 100. Back then the redwoods were mere saplings, and the King James Version was the only acceptable version of the Bible for good little church girls like me. To this day, I cannot read […]
Thanks, Ed and Jean
Thanksgiving is officially on the way! It’s finally November! We will soon arm ourselves with shopping carts in hopes of bagging the perfect turkey. Heads will bow, platters will pass, and tall tales will be repeated for the 25th time. But, before we undo the button on our jeans, I’ve got a few more drops […]
Thanks, Tom
Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday, lies just beneath October’s calendar page. Before we flip the page to November, I’ve decided to get a head start in introducing you to some people outside my family who have gone on to Glory, but whose influence continues to live on in the hearts of many. These are just a […]
Why, God?
During hard times we often find ourselves asking, “Why, God? Why is this happening to me?” We don’t understand why a loving God would allow such tragedy, sickness, evil, or death to rock our world. Suffering seems dealt by a God with the power to intervene, but the unwillingness to take His hands out of […]
God Made You To _________.
A few months ago a young woman with a passion for Jesus asked whom I listened to during the week for inspiration. I didn’t hesitate. Most every week I tune in to Chris Hodges (Church of the Highlands, Birmingham, AL), Patrick Mead (Fourth Avenue Church of Christ, Franklin, TN), David Platt (Radical with David Platt, […]
What I Learned From Homeschooling My Grandchildren
Today marks 58 days my daughter Jennifer has been in Baltimore with my three-year-old grandson Benjamin. (In case you’re new to Perfection Road, Benjamin was adopted from China and needed a highly invasive surgery to repair his bladder. The best doctor for the job was Dr. John Gearhart at Johns Hopkins Hospital. To say Dr. […]
