This week “Thankful Thursday” is about another great Christian who is a faithful example of following God’s plan for her life, without notoriety, fame, or fortune. Just simply taking a task and doing what God called her to do. Pauline Harrison is a dear 78 yr. old lady from…
“Outlive Your Life” is essentially the tale of the book of Acts, with stories molded and brought to life in a modern interpretation that only a superb storyteller such as Max Lucado can weave together. On the back cover, Max explains this book of the Bible, Acts: “It’s the story…
Convicted. Period. This week’s Women of Faith Talk Back asks an engaging question: Have you experienced a delay—and later learned it saved you from something worse than a wait? I can’t say that I’ve learned of a delay that saved me from something worse than a wait, but I can…
In continuing with giving thanks for dedicated Christian individuals, this week I chose Pam Koons. I first met Pam through the church newborn nursery almost nine years ago. She was the first worker to which I passed my sweet son, Michael, and her attentiveness and care to not only his…
Many times we talk about people and things we are thankful for as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches. God has blessed me so much that I often make short lists just to remind myself of His blessings just for that day! But for the next several weeks, I felt the Lord…
On Friday, friends and family joined together to celebrate our daughter, Taylor’s, fourteenth birthday! This was a great milestone, as the average life span for Taylor’s disease is ten to fifteen years. We owe a huge thank you to two very special companies! Icing Smiles! A program for terminally ill…

This week’s Women of Faith devotional by Patsy Clairmont was a little too easy to relate to! Patsy discusses her lack of a sense of good direction and mentions how much we need our Heavenly Father to be our Guide. The question of the week was: How are you at…
This week’s Women of Faith devotional by Nicole Johnson discusses the way humans are fearfully and wonderfully made…and that God loves us just as we are. I love what Nicole says, “God formed you and said ‘This is good.’” So just why is it so hard to digest that? The…
Each September, Taylor’s birthday rolls around on the 21st. So I usually start reflecting on her life a few weeks beforehand. I wrote this poem several years back and today, hopefully it serves as a reminder to you to… live in the moment, every day to its fullest. With complete…
My sweet baby, Tarah, is growing so quickly. Here is a picture of her in the first pigtail hairdo. Who can’t resist? That has nothing to do with this post, but she’s just so cute! Recently she began noticing cause and effect on different levels. When I push the garage…
This week for Women of Faith, our devotional by Luci Swindoll encouraged a grateful heart. She discusses how we all have our “list” of things to grumble about and yep, I can totally relate! Those issues that hang us up and cause us to get a good case of “the…
