    God’s Broken Family

    May 17, 2019 / Comments Off on God’s Broken Family

    God’s Broken Family It’s tempting to freak out over the fact that our families are broken — to think that if we fix the issues of marriage, money, and faith, we’ll fix the future of our families, and voila! — all will be well. But in reality, broken families are not new. We all come from a broken family because God’s family is broken. The thing is, this isn’t the tragedy we assume. Broken is right where God wants us — and right where He can powerfully reassemble us. In the beginning, God created man and woman. Adam and Eve were a family, a man and a woman evidencing the image of God in…

    Is God Good to Me?

    May 16, 2019 / Comments Off on Is God Good to Me?

    Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. — Romans 8:5-6 It’s hard when you’re a little girl desperate to be a treasured daughter but your dad makes it abundantly clear he never wanted a daughter. I remember the prayers I would lift up when the darkness of night made my heart hammer in my chest. Tucked underneath my Holly Hobby blanket I would whisper over…

    Without The Cross Easter Has No Meaning

    April 21, 2019 / 0 Comments

    I don’t know about you but when spring comes I get so excited. That means the good weather is coming back, patio season is at our doors, the flowers are blooming but most important is Easter! Though some people get excited about the chocolates and the bunnies what I look to most about this holiday is church. If it wasn’t for the cross, Easter would have no meaning. Easter is more than just Good Friday and dressing nice on Easter Sunday, it’s more than just family and having a nice super with the church it’s a reminder that Jesus fought death and beat it! A reminder that we are no…

    Praying to Be Able to Walk in Faith

    April 1, 2019 / Comments Off on Praying to Be Able to Walk in Faith

    What if this Jesus thing is all a hoax? I thought to myself in horror one day nearly two years after I accepted Christ as Savior. What if none of it’s true? What if the pastor suddenly says, “This is all a joke, and you fell for it! Jesus isn’t real and you’re not really saved!” That day a wall of doubt settled around me like steel bars separating me from my future. The possibility of a life of nothingness became a temporary reality, and I panicked. What brought this on all of a sudden? I wondered. I struggled with that flash of doubt for days, and the more I thought about it, the…

    Senior Makes Friend’s Dream Come True

    March 10, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Senior Brandon Qualls of Caddo Hills High School in Arkansas can now go to school with much more ease than before thanks to a significant gesture and act of friendship by his classmate Tanner Wilson. It was Tanner’s wish to make things easier for his good friend Brandon, who would often tire maneuvering his manual wheelchair. So Wilson started saving to be able to give his best friend the surprise of his life: an electric wheelchair. Tanner saved up from his job at a local mechanic shop for over two years in order to give such a generous and selfless gift. “They came in, and my face just blew up,” Brandon…

    Watch the latest video at foxnews.com David Holston is an 18-year-old entrepreneur from Idaho who started a landscaping business in Coeur d’Alene last spring. He recently made a good amount of money in 4 days, more in than many make in a year, from plowing snow.

    Run!

    March 5, 2019 / 0 Comments

    26.2…I couldn’t get the marathon runner’s emblem out of my head.  Even though I tried to dismiss the image, it wouldn’t go away. No, at this point in my life I was NOT going to take up running as my new form of exercise, but I felt that God had some lessons that He was trying to teach me.   Because my son and daughter-in-law are half-marathon runners, I have an elementary knowledge of the running world.  My husband and I have often cheered them on at races, however, I realized that I could learn so much more. I began asking them questions like “How do you train, what do…

    White As Snow

    February 28, 2019 / 1 Comment

    As a Central Louisiana and former East Texas resident, I don’t have many opportunities to see snow, unless I’m traveling further north.  What really strikes me as I sit at home today on a rare snow day, especially on a day when the sun hasn’t stolen the white crystals away yet, is the brightness I see when I look outside.  It may not be apparent in the picture I posted, but the dreariness of the sky does not affect the piercing glow of the snow-covered immaculate landscape. Time off from school.  Time to think and pray and ponder.  Catching up on emails, reading blogs, looking at pictures of other snowy yards, watching video…
