In “Money” We Trust?
There’s a reason why our currency says “In God We Trust”. Regardless of what the financial experts say, nothing can grow without God’s active involvement. It all belongs to Him anyway and we are mere stewards of what He has graciously given us. Eight years ago I learned that lesson the hard way.
Eight years ago I had hit rock bottom.
Here Comes The Bride
As a single woman quickly approaching 40, it is easy to become dismayed by the gloomy statistics which indicate that marriage over 40 is near impossible.

I was thinking about God’s love the other day, how utterly large and encompassing it is. I couldn’t get my mind around it; how Jesus could love me so much that He would make such an immense sacrifice on my behalf. I thought of the pain He suffered, all because He wanted to give me the chance to spend a life with Him…

Pregnant at 16
A few years ago my friend Jennifer called me and right away, I could tell in her voice that something was wrong – very wrong. She choked out the words: “Sue is pregnant!” Sue, her 16 year old daughter in her senior year of high school, was pregnant…
Born Again
The scales have fallen from my eyes
The world I see, no more in disguise
The chains that once enslaved are broken
New lips now utter words never spoken…
