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...I Am What I Am
I was blessed to have parents who cared for their family. They each took, housed, and saw to their needs until they passed. I loved spending time with my maternalgrandparents (especially my “Bom-Bom,” who was THE best cook in the world!). Unfortunately, I never knew...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. ...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,...Patience is a Virtue
“Sit down, be quiet, be patient.” My dear, sweet mother said this practically every day. I got the “sit down” command down pat. As far as “be quiet,” … well, not so much. And sadly, now 60+ years later, I have to admit I never mastered being patient. My lack of...The Power of One
Behind every great movement of history lies a single individual who had the courage to take the first step. This week, I’m excited to share with you how one action, taken by one person, can be the spark to ignite a movement of transformation and revival.
Three Days
I attended what some would call a women’s retreat this past weekend. Oh, I had doubts before going – I had done this before … sign up, show up, then wanting to leave after three hours. I wasn’t expecting the impact three days could have on me. It turned out to be...What Do You Worship?
Back in the olden days when I was a wee girl, the common question asked was “who” do you worship – meaning in whom do you place your faith? Time moved on, however, and the “who” was replaced with “what” – meaning work, material objects, money, looks, power, etc. ...A Servant’s Heart
Over the course of my life I’ve had the privilege of observing the work of many of God’s servants in action. There are those who have large international ministries, but the majority serve in smaller environments – all doing what they felt God had called them to do....Get Go Tell It! – Debby’s Book
