I was this person that thought I didn’t have to be in a church to worship God. I know we can and should worship God all the time. I could worship Him anywhere. Right? There is no church that would accept me in all my sin. Wrong! We gather together because we know God asks […]
I Don’t Understand
It’s okay. He doesn’t expect me to. He just wants me to believe Him and have faith. Isaiah 55:8-11, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts […]
Olympic Faith
As we all know, there has been a lot of drama surrounding this year’s Olympic games. From a tasteless and offensive opening ceremony to questions of gender… the 2024 Olympics have been a bit controversial to say the least. Opposing views abound. But regardless of our beliefs and opinions over such things, there is one […]
Get Ready for the Sale
127 Yard Sale. Enough said. End of story. I could stop right there but, what kind of blog would that be? I decided to join in the fun this year. I thought, surely I have enough stuff to at least share a spot with a friend. Then I started going through my stuff. Oh my […]
Wobbly Road: Part 5
Then I met Darrell, my husband for the last 23 years. Poor man didn’t know I came with so much baggage, so many negative messages and past bad habits. I was a divorcee twice before.

The Name of God
Have you ever gotten involved in something that you thought was going to be the same old thing only to have it change the way you look at something forever? That was me this past week. I get to do an online Bible study with friends from church and we’re doing one now on the […]
Wobbly Road: Part 4
We are more likely to fall back on the same patterns of behaviors and actions, even when we know we are just repeating ourselves. While in the Air Force I met another young man. I was married to him for 17 years., and two beautiful boys came into this world. We used the money my Daddy […]
Cultural Christianity
I lived a lot of my life thinking that attending church was an unnecessary part of Christianity. I remember being young and hearing people say “I don’t have to go to church to be Christian”. Going into my teenage and early adult years I adopted that mentality. It wasn’t until I was older and found […]
