I dare say most of us are familiar with the Titus 2 passage about how the aged women are to be the example and teacher of younger women. And it is a privilege to be in the position to be that example. But in order to be a teacher of good things, you must also …
Haven’t heard from God lately? Here are some possible reasons why…
Let me start by saying there is no “perfect Christian”. We strive to be as close to God as we can, but we all fail. We mess up. Thank God he is a forgiving, patient God. There is none righteous, no not one. No matter how ‘good’ we perceive others to be, everyone has to …
The “I” Disease
Have you been looking for something and search everywhere only to realize later that it was right in front of you the whole time? You weren’t really focused. It’s the same with our husbands and children and we may even say “open your eyes, it’s right there!” Haha we all know that mom knows where …

What marks are you ashamed of?
One of the things I love about the Holy Spirit is He can/will speak to us anywhere, anytime as long as we are listening for Him. This morning He gave me this thought at the gym. It was so good I want to share it with you. While walking from one area of Planet Fitness …
Good Grief!
Everybody experiences loss. It’s the most unfortunate part of this earthly life, having to say goodbye to someone we love. The thing about grief is this: there is no ONE right way to handle it. Everybody is different. Our circumstances and emotional makeup are all different. Perhaps this is why God put so many different …
Remember who you are!
When I was a child, I remember hearing “Not in this family we don’t”. What my parents meant by that was, it didn’t matter what everyone else was doing. There was a certain level of behavior expected from us. There were certain things we were not going to do/say, etc. You know that verse in …
What kind of house is yours?
