Life can feel so unfair at times. And if we’re not careful to put those things in their proper place, into the Hands that hold us together when we are about to fall apart, we can mistakenly get distracted by wayward thoughts and go off a deep end. There’s no explaining the ‘whys’ of infertility, […]

“A Few Bite Size Morsels”
Looking in the rearview mirror at the roads traveled during the early days when my children were younger, I can utter under my breath the familiar, “If I only knew then, what I know today …” And not to say that I fully wrap my arms around a lifetime of should haves, could haves or […]
“A Few Bite Size Morsels”
When my children were growing up and I was managing an “outside of the home paid job” (some of y’all will be able to relate to how I just described that), life was shall we say, often a tad bit chaotic — but in a productive way. Yes, the dishes sat in the sink a […]
“A Few Bite Size Morsels”
When Jesus walked the earth picking on people to be His Disciples, He called them out. He literally looked them square in the eye and said, “You — come follow me.” These were common everyday folk like you and me, Sister. They had no idea what awaited them on the other side of their “yes” […]
“A Few Bite Size Morsels”
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Psalm 127:3 NLT Many of us have vivid memories of those early pregnancy days. Being pregnant was a time of great … well, expectation (yes, pun intended). No matter how long ago it may have been, we can still retrieve those moments during that […]
A Few Bite-Size Morsels
To the new Mama’s in our midst … we rally in your corner, Sweet Friend. We know and understand your fatigue — the days often seem to blur from one into the next as you may find yourself constantly looking at the calendar with disbelief that so much time has elapsed, and yet, possibly feeling […]
Testimony Thursday: “Remember the Good and Call it Blessed” by Guest Writer: Debbie Johnson
Being raised as an only child in a modest home with a stay-at-home, Hispanic, Catholic Mom and a hardworking, Anglo Episcopalian WWII Veteran Dad, I grew to always love and respect God and to have a consistent, strong work ethic. These were daily observations for me during my growing up years. I was driven, dropped […]
“A Clean Heart” by Guest Writer: Sandy Brannan
I wonder why we store things. Why do we squirrel away that first item before adding more and more to our rapidly growing stash of belongings? We know we can’t take any of it with us when we go to our eternal home, yet we still collect and save. If you’re like me, over time, […]
“Singleness” by Guest Writer: Kathy Dunbar
“Well, if being single at 40 is what following Jesus looks like, I don’t know if I want to fully surrender and follow.” Yes, I said that. A dear, fun, kind, loving Christian single woman I knew just turned 40. I was 27. And obviously very immature. That woman is still single and nearing 70, […]
“Lost and Found” by Guest Writer: Leslie A. McLeod
“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?” Luke 15:4 (NIV) My friend lost a strawberry. Not a big deal, right? After all, she had a whole bowlful still on […]
