Christmas in June
What are some funny stories you have with your family? When you told them to friends did they laugh as hard as you? Maybe not. I will share one of my funny stories with you. Last year about this time my mom sent a group family text saying something like,“Santa may not have time to do much...

God is good...all the time!
The pastor at my former church ended every Sunday service with the first part of that phrase. The congregation then responded with the second part. He wanted to assure us of God’s faithfulness, so that when times got difficult, we would know where to turn for comfort and strength. After I...

Mercy
Mercy. Delivered. For the next few weeks the sermon series at the church I attend will have a different one-word theme each week. When I was a maid of honor, I focused my speech on one word that described my friend: faithful. In the weeks ahead, I will introduce one word a week for a group of...

Convention Highlights 2018

Dreams
What do you think of the holiday? As a single person, it’s easy to roll the eyes. I have one friend that uses the word “despise” to describe her feelings about the holiday. I have another single friend that e-mailed me recently asking to come by and decorate cookies with her. Her...
