Graduates

The month of May … commonly known as the end-of-year graduating month … is over.  Unless you live on Mars, you undoubtedly have attended or been invited to many graduation services for high school or college.  We celebrate the accomplishments of these young...

Heroes

HEROES I have a confession to make. I always considered Memorial Day just another national holiday. Loving history, It wasn’t until I learned about Memorial Day history that I grew to appreciate the importance of those who laid down their lives for us all. Originally...

A Most Important Reminder

Recently, mothers everywhere were celebrated. We reminisced, shared food, gave flowers, and spent time with our mothers. Many of us, like myself, celebrate with memories of our dear moms in Heaven. However, this year, Mother’s Day (and Father’s Day coming soon) was a...

The Long Arms of Jesus

There’s a common thread among the people we talk to … most had no home life growing up … no father and/or mother in their life … most were subjected to abuse. Many say there is no way the God of the Universe could or would love someone like them …but Jesus!

Fleeting Moments

This month we have two granddaughters graduating high school. How is that possible? Exciting for them … surreal for us.  It was just yesterday we held tiny bundles in our arms, welcoming them to the world … catching them as they took their first steps … searching...

That First Step

A couple of years ago, I surprised my husband with a special birthday present.  It was something he had talked about his whole life and something on his bucket list – skydiving!  I took him to the airport to meet his instructor, get his “training,” and get suited up. ...

What the World Needs Now

I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately, probably because I’ve \been listening to “oldies but goodies” from my hey-day.  From the Beatles, Sweet Baby James, and Three Dog Night (and don’t forget the Doobie Brothers), I ran across one from 1965 – “What the...

Deep Roots

I grew up in Big D. From my first memories; I have been fascinated with trees. I just knew if I climbed all the way to the top, I could reach heaven.  As I grew older, I became more aware of the world as we traveled around the country. When we went west, the...

Prison Bars: Seen and Unseen

Anyone who has worked in a prison ministry has dealt with plenty of men and women incarcerated while living behind steel bars.  Laws have been broken and you have been found guilty.  There is no freedom. Prisoners are told when to wake up, when to eat, when to bathe,...
