I have something to tell you. I’m really in to being close to God this days. I know. I know. I’m always into being close to God. But something has changed. I feel I’m going deeper into the scriptures if that makes any sense. I was chatting with a friend the other day, and they said that reading the scriptures was too confusing. They didn’t understand what most of them mean. Have you been…

I received a gift recently. A friend of mine at church walked up to me, handed me a small cardboard box, smiled, then walked away. That’s it. That’s all she did. I waited until I got home to open it. Here it is:“No words. Just hugs.”She lived up to these words that day. Without a word, I felt hugged. I felt seen. And, don’t we all need that? But the one thing that struck me that day is, she…

Did you catch my Guns N’ Roses* song lyric there? 🎶 Yes. I’m an 80s baby. Yes. I love me some hard rock/heavy metal/hair band ballads.  Yes. I still wish my bangs could be teased so high they reach the firmament of heaven. But that’s for another email.  Today, we are going to chat about a subject that brings up a lot of debate in certain circles. Are you ready?  Let’s talk about…

The Kid decorated my laptop with diamond art stickers she created herself. And my initial reaction was not what I thought it would be. 🤔 So this happened on Sunday. And at first–I’m just going to be honest — I was a little irked. I know I know. 🤦‍♀️ My Mom Guilt kicked in saying I should be so blessed and excited that The Kid decorated my laptop. But the perfectionist/control freak in me didn’t…

Have you ever had one of those moments? You know. The ones when you see something and you are all by yourself and you just have to share it with someone? Like right now? That’s how I’m feeling this morning. I saw this, and I had to share it with you. It all started with this scripture: “Joseph bought a linen sheet. Then he took Jesus’ body down from the cross and wrapped it in the sheet, and…

What do you think about money? Is it a welcome friend who drops by often? Or is it one of those people who ghosts you on the internet? Our current relationship with money is explained a lot by our past experiences and the attitudes around it that we’ve been taught. In 2025, I want to change my attitude–my perceptions–around money. Recently, I started looking for positive money affirmations.…

Our God is a heart God. That’s why He talks so much about forgiving one another. Because unforgiveness only hurts us. Jesus talks about forgiveness in Matthew 6, and it’s the focus of Day 3 in 6 Days with Matthew 6. If you are looking for a new daily devotional, 6 Days with Matthew 6 is perfect for your solo reflection or group study. Each section includes a focus scripture for the day, a…

“Don’t worry.” Don’t ya just cringe when someone tells you that? I do anyway. It’s way easier said than done. Am I right? But the Bible says it over and over. Not to worry. Matthew 6:34 says, “So don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow can worry about itself. There’s already enough evil in every day.” The Bible tells us to “not worry,” to “not be dismayed” and to “not fear” numerous…

Can you believe it’s almost the end of February??? This year is flying by. I have a lot of things that I have to take care of this year, so I feel like I’m on a runaway train. But GOD knows. And He is laying down the tracks right ahead of me. All I have to do is trust Him.  Ugh. TRUST Him. Is that easy for you? I like to think I have this “Trust” thing down, but sometimes –most of the time–I do…

Fun fact:Did you know that as soon as you became a Christ follower you were RECREATED?You became a new creation. A totally brand new you. It says so in 2 Corinthians 5:17:“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”I want you to take that in today. These words written by Paul and Timothy to the church in Corinth tell us that when we accept…

Y’all. I’m no gardener. 👩‍🌾 But I’ve always wanted to be. I dream of an expansive garden with not only vegetables and herbs, but fruit trees, a composting station at just the right temperature, plus chickens doing their chicken things in the garden all daylong declaring war over all the pesky insects that are trying to ravage my crops. I dream of benches, walkways and quiet reading nooks. Did I…
