A Story Too Good Not to Share
I stood on the sidelines of this story and watched it unfold. God is good. God is great. Let us thank him for stories like these. I hope you take the time today to read my brother-in-law’s story. May we continue to witness more stories of God’s transforming power! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I love to tell to anyone […]
A Lot Can Change in a Week
It was Saturday, December 18, 1999. The tables sagged with the weight of the traditional Christmas dinner. Extended family had gathered from miles away – every member of the family made sure they were there. It seemed we all sensed the importance of this Christmas gathering. It was a day of great fellowship stirred with […]
Jesus is Always with You
It’s no secret Max Lucado sits high on my list of favorite communicators. He takes the complex and makes it simple. He creatively weaves words so we don’t miss the message. I recently heard him say, “We never have to leave the presence of God. No place we go is absent of God. There’s not […]
Temple Sweepers Filled with the Spirit
Ever noticed how you can get something on your mind and then see reminders of that something every where you turn? That’s how it’s been lately with the Holy Spirit. I began studying about Him again on my own and through on-line sermons. Then, guess what the sermon series has been for our church family […]
That Raggedy, Raggedy, Raggedy Man!
My Pawpaw took the big, thick, tan book off the shelf and I sidled up next to him on the sofa, pulling my knees up to my chin. I knew what was coming. The years had frayed the corners of its cover and the pages had yellowed more with every reading. It was filled with […]
My One Thing
I kept my 16 month old granddaughter yesterday. No big brothers. No mommy. Just Jessa and me. She cuddled more than usual since a leaky faucet had replaced her sweet little nose. She didn’t care for the runny nose, but I didn’t mind the extra cuddling. When she took her nap I held her so […]
Got Gospel?
If you ever look for me on Thursday mornings you’ll find me with a couple of friends at the city jail. Every week there offers us a chance to share a little of God’s word with ladies who are eager to change their surroundings for an hour or so. Some meet with us just to […]
Oh, What A Relief It Is!
It’s no secret I’m a big college football fan. So, when our team kicked off last season in the Georgia Dome, my husband and I set our sights on one of our favorite get-away spots – Stone Mountain RV Park. We had a couple of extra tickets so we invited some friends from church to […]
I Need A Leader
Did you watch the Super Bowl commercials? Oprah’s homage to our service men and women scored high marks with me and rightfully so. However, Dodge’s use of Paul Harvey’s tribute to the American farmer might have edged out Oprah in my mind simply because I like Paul Harvey so much better. The spot opened with […]
Renovation
A few years ago we decided our bedroom and bathroom needed a makeover. The nasty carpet, chipped tiles and scarred paint had to go. So, we selected some new plush carpet, an updated paint color, spiffy tile and a capable contractor. We breathed excitement … until the wrecking crew arrived. The furniture was moved out, […]
