Have you ever tried leading someone to salvation, and your words falling flatter than a dried-up, twice run over pancake crumbling in the blazing hot sun? I asked this question to my Sunday School Group this year and I was surprised at the responses. Not a single person had been successful in sharing the Gospel……
The supernatural is exhilarating, mind-boggling, and fascinating, isn’t it? If it wasn’t, Hollywood wouldn’t be promoting some type of horror film show-casing demonic beings exercising some form of supernatural power every other week. Even commercials for well-known companies are using dark magic in their advertising with an Ouiji Board, crystal ball, tarot cards, etc. And…
“Mom, don’t think that. You know I ALWAYS trust you more than anyone. Just don’t think that, OK?”, my son confidently responded as we were driving to pick up his little sister from school. He and I were talking about the Tooth Fairy moments prior because he had seen a cartoon episode where the children…
Halloween is still a few weeks away, but creepy creatures have been lurking in storefront windows for a couple weeks now. If you ask me, the obnoxious attempt to shove “the dead” in our face for an entire month is pretty dramatic and yet, strategic, of the enemy. He takes full advantage of the “acknowledged,…
“Your Honor, a brief recess please?” I am by no means a lawyer, but one of my favorite shows, Drop Dead Diva (that I have binge watched many times by the way) is about a model turned lawyer. With that being said, it is to no surprise that I also like the Legally Blonde movies…
COVID-19 – Physically Dangerous or Spiritually Binding? I am interrupting the flow of my blog topics to address something that needs to be addressed from the perspective of our King Jesus… the Coronavirus. I decided to take a trip to Walgreens last night on my way home. All I wanted to buy was a couple…
“If we put X amount of money in our Roth IRA each month, do you know how much money we’d make by the time we retire?!” I nodded, exchanging the excitement with my investing-loving friends. “We’ve also thought about investing money into rental properties and eventually land. There are so many ways to invest your…
Let’s face it. Life is hard. Life is painful. Life is unpredictable, and, well, hard. Our faith gets rocked and stretched, the condition of our heart is exposed, and we are eager to place blame on anyone or everyone. If we have been walking closely with God for a few months, even years, most of…
I was relaxing in my living room with a really good friend, her mom, and her grandmother when, with sadness from what had been happening within their family, my friend asked, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” Her aunt had been in an abusive relationship for several years, but each time her aunt…
A friend and I were talking one evening about motherhood, and she, not yet a mother, brought up something she had noticed already among other moms–“mom-shaming”. I assured her it does exist more often than people will admit, and yes, even I, had been a recipient of the dreaded. For those of you unaware of…
The kids and I decided to check out the closing sale of the Lifeway Christian Bookstore today. Having two very antsy children almost guarantees a stressful experience; nevertheless, this mom braved it and went. While I was trying to ignore the endless movements and whining coming from the stroller, I decided to let my son…
My family and I moved recently and after we unpacked, we had quite the pile of empty moving boxes. I decided to list the excess boxes on Facebook Marketplace, and after a few days, a lady reached out to me telling me she wanted to pick them up in the next day or so. Seems…

Several months ago, I started a habit of keeping at least five “Compassion Bags” in my car for the homeless/beggars along the sides of the roads. Inside my Compassion Bags are anti-bacterial wipes, one-time use toothbrushes, deodorant, hand sanitizer, a couple snacks, and an invitation to church. I understand I am not the first, or…
