Victorious Suffering ... sounds like an oxymoron right? A friend and I were discussing this very thing earlier today. We came to the conclusion that people often think suffering has to defeat us but, as believers, we have the One who overcame the world by fighting on our behalf so we can have victory in… Continue reading Victorious Suffering
I have mentally written two or three posts in the last few weeks over various subjects but haven't bothered to type anything up. My mind has been all over the place lately. I may share the reason for this later on or I may not and while I may have a page dedicated to my… Continue reading Rambling Thoughts
Dear Friends, I’m not really sure why I am writing you an open letter since everything that I write, I feel like, is basically a conversation with you … but I was reminded this week to be careful about sitting on my high horse as it can be a long fall from that high of… Continue reading An Open Letter to My Readers …
Over the last week, I have written and deleted several posts. I had so much on my heart yet I couldn't find the right words with which to say them. I have been and am frustrated over the political climate in our country. I am over the moon in love with my niece, nephew, and… Continue reading Practice Ephesians 4:2

The general consensus on Facebook seems to be that 2016 was a very hard year for many people. It was a pretty average… Continue reading Happy New Year!
Well, I wrote a different post yesterday but the Lord hasn't released me to share it which happens from time to time. So, for now, I am "sitting" on that post and we'll see how the Lord directs me to use it. Until then, I spent some time in Isaiah this morning and several verses leapt off… Continue reading Words from Isaiah
"[ The Magnificat: Mary’s Song of Praise ] Mary responded, “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! For the Mighty One is holy, and he has done great things for me." Luke 1:46-47, 49 As I start to look towards 2017 and think about my goals for… Continue reading A Time of Reflection …
I will never understand why some married men don't wear wedding rings ... especially when they aren't in a job that restricts them from wearing it. Or at the very least mention their wife in conversation. In case you are wondering, yes, I was just made a fool. But it happens. I wasn't flirtatious, yet,… Continue reading This Isn’t A Game
