“The LORD your God will then make you successful in everything you do. He will give you many children and numerous livestock, and He will cause your fields to produce abundant harvests, for the LORD will again delight in being good to you as he was to your ancestors.”  Deuteronomy 30:9   Today’s blog is […]

This blog is dedicated to all moms everywhere, whether you have children, have pets who are like your children, or serve in some other nurturing role. This Mother’s Day, I want to invite you to remember to care for yourself as well. I remember my first Mother’s Day without my mom. I decided that instead […]

Hmmm, come to think of it…I really wish happy thoughts flooded my mind as free flowing as they seem to do for many people with whom I am close. My husband is one of these naturally “happy people,” as are a couple of my closest friends. By the way, I think God sort of set […]

You know the phrase and the desire, an almost desperate yearning to be “happy go lucky”. What does this even mean? To me, it is a wish to be lucky so much that every thing is basically a fairy tale. We yearn for utopia. Entire cities have been built trying to attain it. Fairhope, AL […]

I remember little crushes in the 3rd and 4th grade and wondering […]

Ahh, the great love chapter of the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13. If you picked this chapter apart, verse by verse, and replaced the word, “love,” with ____ (your name), would it still hold true? “Love endures with patience and serenity,” Love endures.  Love doesn’t quit.  Love has patience with others who are not having patience […]

…no one ever said. Fear of rejection is the number one fear of humanity. The need to belong and be a part of a family is why gangs form, why sororities and fraternities are so important to many in college. It’s why supper clubs, country clubs, teams, and church small groups all foster this feeling […]
