Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray. Proverbs 22:6 (NRSV) Watching parents raise their children has been interesting, of a growing concern and a focus of recent prayer for me. Let me say from the beginning that my children (in their 30’s) and their generation have issues to…
When you live your life and every day involves pain, physical excruciating pain, some might say that isn’t much of a life. I have been told God would not want me to live with pain and, with faith, should ask and expect God to heal me. I do believe that God desires that I have…

I have been musing lately about the “end times.” Now that is unusual for me. I am not a watcher of sign posts for the end times. I have always read the Scripture to say that I should be ready at any time. Jesus seemed pretty clear to me in Acts 1 that no matter…
I’m going to share something deeply personal about holidays. I hope anyone reading this will say, “Oh, I already knew that.” because it has been a very difficult lesson for me to learn. For many years, I followed in the footsteps of women before me and worked and cooked and stressed myself out on every…
