I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend! I desperately want to morph my life into a journey that glorifies God and makes Him proud. I am not a bible scholar, a pastor, a teacher or a person who is qualified to counsel or guide. However, God has given me the gift of gab and a talent to write, so I have decided to do what I do best to help others. I hope you will give me grace, as I'm sure I will make plenty of mistakes during this adventure! “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV.” Do you remember that commercial advertising a pain reliever way back when? It always made me giggle and wonder how silly the actor felt when he was standing in front of the camera acting like he had any wisdom about which medication the rest of […]

Hobby Lobby is one of my favorite stores. I love sifting through the decorative items, picture frames and scrapbooking paraphernalia. I am SO NOT a creative person, but Hobby Lobby makes me feel like I could do something unique if I sort of tried (not that I ever do – it’s the thought that counts). […]

Strangely, I woke up that particular morning feeling a heaviness and gloominess I just couldn’t shake. It wasn’t until […]

September 11, 2001 evokes many emotions in the American people. Fear, horror, hatred, grief, unity, courage, heroism and bravery are just a few reactions that spring to mind when I recall the day that four commercial airplanes were hijacked and subsequently killed many and destroyed our nation’s illusion that we are safe from the world […]

With football season underway, I suppose I will be forced to watch network television and turn a deaf ear to the angry and irritating political commercials. Argh…election years are always so annoying because of the constant bickering (and it doesn’t matter whose side you’re on)! Recently, I realized that with the late spring purchase of […]

Tomorrow night begins the NFL’s 93rd season with the Cowboys competing against last year’s Super Bowl winners, the New York Giants. As excited as I am to see the first game of the season,I’m MUCH more pumped about the Chicago Bear’s game on September 9th against the Indianapolis Colt. Da bears…. As I’ve said before, […]
