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 […]

“Hoppy Easter!”  my silly husband keeps saying.    I’d say that describes Easter quite well. Jesus hopped right up out of that grave and defeated hell, sickness and poverty! He hopped right over every obstacle we will ever face so that now by using His name we can overcome, no matter what we come up […]

“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:25‬ ‭AMP‬‬ Remember being a little girl on the playground at school plucking petals from flowers in hopes of finding out if he loved you or not?

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 […]

Call me crazy! You wouldn’t be the first or the last! But here is the real and the raw…… The way I used to love getting manicures and massages, I’ve found a new love for counseling instead. The best of both worlds would be to go one week for counseling or coaching, the next week […]

…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 […]

If you follow me on social media you may have noticed me using this hashtag lately #happyontheoutside so I’ld like to explain what that’s all about…    When I was a little girl one of my favorite praise songs in Childrens’s Church went like this ~ Something on the inside working on the outside. Oh […]

This past week I attended Leading and Loving It. What a great week in Las Vegas with women in ministry from around the world.  There were so many new and old friends there that were super fun to see and hang out with.  Two of the break out sessions I went to talked about soul […]
