2014 – Your Year of Freedom?
Take a glance at the 11 months behind you. What do you see? Do they give you a twirling-in-the-sunshine-arms-out-wide feeling? Maybe you feel a little like Wile E. Coyote slithering out from underneath a 10-ton boulder as you hear “Beep, beep” in the distance. Or, maybe you’re still under that boulder. Never fear! “Where the […]
Jesus is _________.
Are you a collector? Maybe you collect coins, stamps, dolls, or even sea shells. My grandson collects all sorts of things – most of which my daughter would rather he not bring into the house. I collect stories. I love a good story – especially God-stories. Stories help me learn and teach difficult concepts. They have the power to […]
Thank YOU for Being an Everyday Hero!
Feeling a little weary just thinking about getting ready for all the upcoming Christmas activities? Decorations, meal planning, gift buying. Overwhelming, isn’t it? That’s why I enjoy Thanksgiving so much. Minimal decorations and no gift buying – with plenty of food and, best of all, family. Giving thanks humbles and unites us. So, with all that in […]
Women, Football, God and Grace
Today’s post was originally intended to be a section in the chapter on grace in Everyday Heroes. Since it’s a women’s Bible study, I decided to take it out because I’ve heard that not every woman loves football as much as I do. Go figure! Anyway, I decided to use it for my post today […]
True Colors Again
My husband and I will be traveling this weekend with some friends to our college team’s away football game. This trip reminded me of a blog post I wrote after a similar trip in 2010. Since we’re in the middle of football season I thought you might like to read it again too. Have a wonderful day and […]
TROUBLE!
It’s been quite an adventure writing Everyday Heroes these past few months. It’s almost as if I’ve stood on the sidelines watching God and Satan play tug-of-war. The Spirit continues to pull me close as He leads me to some amazing, and sometimes difficult places to help me find just the right words. He continues to pull […]
Because You’re Worth It!
Can you match the following taglines (slogans) with the companies they represent? 1) Just Do It 2) Think Different 3) I’m Lovin’ It 4) Can You Hear Me Now? Good. 5) Because You’re Worth It I’m sure if you watch TV, listen to the radio, or read magazines you probably know at least three out of […]
Today is the Day!
In 1965 you may have been raising your children, or you may have just been a twinkle in your daddy’s eye. Me? I was in second grade. Civil Rights was in full swing, but I simply enjoyed playing on the swing set – oblivious to the chaos swirling through Alabama. Until … that day on […]
Have You Found Your Voice?
I don’t have to read too many paragraphs to know when it’s one of my favorite authors doing the writing. When dipping into the word well, each hoists their own unique blend of word choice, style, and rhythm. Their writing becomes much like their fingerprint or signature – unique. Each has taken time to practice […]
