A while back, I was working as a court reporter for the “Unlocking Doors” Seminar for the department of Housing and Urban Development. This is a federal organization that focuses on housing options for lower income families. The senior project manager was there. She came to Greenville, all because of one man, the preacher of [...]

This has certainly been a time to mourn and weep. It seems as though sadness will not leave. On Friday a friend, James Larsen, passed away. He was only 31 years old and left behind a wife and two precious daughters. It seems so unnatural for someone that young to die, yet God had appointed [...]

I’m going to delve into the personal once more and then hopefully move back to the purpose of my blog. I decided it was necessary that I speak of my Grandma. The stroke she suffered last Sunday, took her life 3 days later. It has been devastating for me and my family. We shared a [...]

When I started this blog I never intended to share a lot of personal stories, but recently the events in my life have been so closely linked with the spiritual that I’ve found it appropriate to share them.

I am blessed to have a wonderfully close relationship with my Grandma. Just like Timothy had Lois, I have been brought up in the sincere faith of my Grandma. Over the past few months, she has brought up a story that I want to share with you. My Grandma has a good friend, Barbara. Barbara [...]

It is impossible to live a life without some sadness, pain, and depression. Everyone goes through heartache, the times when you feel so black inside that you feel nothing will lighten your spirit. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by loneliness, you may feel there is no one that cares for or understands you. All of these [...]

I don’t want to love my enemies…do you? I don’t want to love people who are mean, or who hate Christ. I don’t want to love people who perform abortion, but I should. These are all general enemies of Christianity and I am to love all of them. This begins a bit of protest in [...]

When I love someone completely, I love what they love. I never would have picked up a book and read about the law, but since my husband loves the topic, I have begun to have an interest in it as well. My older son loves sports. I can barely catch a ball, but I have [...]
