‘Tis the season for Christmas. I love to Christmas decorate, bake, and entertain this time of year. I begin decorating the day after Thanksgiving once all the Thanksgiving decorations are stored. I awaken early to the excitement of decorating by pulling out all the containers of Christmas decorations. I do not like containers sitting around, […]
Not long ago I awakened in a funk. I felt a bit off and in a bad mood. I could not figure why. Usually, I wake up and look forward to the day and what it will bring. On this day, I didn’t want to see or be with anyone. This was strange because my […]
This year the Jewish “Feast of Trumpets” will be celebrated on September 25-27. Many believe that this feast will usher in the end times as Christ returns “at the sound of a trumpet” (1 Thessalonians 4:16). My husband George has extensively researched and recently taught on the signs of the end times, so I asked […]
Have you ever said to yourself, “Oh Lord not me! Please use someone else to do this job!” Most of us can honestly say we have. Yet it is no mistake God has you where He wants you: strategically placed. 1 Kings 18:3-16, there is a godly man named Obadiah who illustrates this principle. This […]

You may have heard the phrase, “April Showers bring May flowers.” I love Spring, but as a child the sound of rolling thunder and lightning scared me. On one particular stormy night, the skies exploded with a spectacular light show and thunder shook the windows of our home. I raced to my parent’s room, knocking […]
When trials and tribulations come upon us, sometimes we feel as if God has turned away and doesn’t hear our cries. Have you ever felt this way? One year just before Easter, my husband George was asked to teach on the last words of Jesus. He chose “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken […]
When George and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary, we decided to put together a video. You can image my husband’s surprise as I unfolded a long table and began to stack picture albums on the table. There were stacks upon stacks from 50 years of marriage that I had carefully put together. As we […]
Last year some of you asked me to share the word the Lord had given me for 2021. I said I would wait until the year had ended and then share. The word God gave me for last year was “favor”. I studied favor and I searched the scriptures for everywhere it was written. I […]
“Christmas is the season of giving.” This slogan is used over and over this time of year. Whoever coined that phrase motivated people to give.
