On Wings Like Eagles
Over my lifetime I have traveled a lot, flying friendly skies for work and leisure. This past weekend I took a long weekend trip to fly and visit family. The visit part was great … but the skies, after many years of not flying, weren’t as friendly as I remembered....THE FROG IN THE KETTLE
In my youth (umpteen years ago), someone told me if you put a frog in a kettle of water, then turn the heat up slowly to the boiling point, that frog would just sit there grinning while he slowly boiled to death. I thought, “That’s ridiculous – who wouldn’t get...The Hatfields and McCoys
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again … I love history, folklore, and true stories. In my infrequent spare time, I enjoy films based on true stories, then love doing some research to find out the facts. This week I watched The Hatfields and McCoys series. I...Honey, Have You Seen My …
I have the dearest hubby in the world. He’s smart, funny, a great cook (thank you, Lord!), and a hard worker. He would give someone the shirt off his back (and has many times). But he also misplaces things … a lot! Hubby reminds me nothing is ever lost, so I’m...What the World Needs Now
Any time of the day, any day of the week, anywhere in the world we hear the same thing … the state of mental health is suffering and declining. Recently the Associated Press reported that suicide has reached an all-time high in the US. About 49,500 people died by...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!

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,...How Do You Respond?
Being pro-life, I am always interested in the state of our culture. Do we celebrate life? … or are we a culture of death through abortion? While statistically, it appears our culture is changing to embrace life, there seems to be that one person on every corner who...Unconditional
I’ve had some health issues recently. While the rest has helped, your prayers are appreciated. I’ve had many discussions with friends about forgiveness – debates actually. Is forgiveness conditional or unconditional? This past week I couldn’t stop thinking...Mercy and Grace
I’ve been on this earth longer than dirt (well, it seems that way), but I’ve come to realize I have a lot more to learn, so I plan on being around awhile. One of my biggest lessons over the last several years regarded my faith. As a young Christian, I thought...Get Go Tell It! – Debby’s Book
