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! Integrity…a characteristic that we all believe we have, but very few of us do. Sigh. Dictionary.com defines integrity as an adherence to moral and ethical principles, along with the soundness of moral character and honesty. Basically, I call it doing what we say we will do. As a “big talker Betty Crocker” I am all […]

As we march through Holy Week to Easter Sunday, it occurs to me that our lives are aptly named a journey – just like the path Jesus took to the cross. Each day of Jesus’s life led him to the day he saved the world. For God so loved the world, that he gave his […]

This week I would like to encourage us to stop one of the worst things we can do to sabotage our own personal journey… COMPARING OURSELVES TO OTHERS!!!! Unfortunately, we act like we are all […]

Watching the news is pretty scary these days. Evil seems to be all around us and maybe even winning several of the battles. YIKES! However, you do realize that the good guy wins in the end, right? Let me assure you…He does. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning […]

Have you ever noticed how some people can poo-poo on just about anything? For example: Yippee! The Easter Bunny brought me chocolate! (Them) – You know you are just going to eat that and get fat. Listen to this great idea for a new career path! (Them) – You know you’ll never do that. Can’t […]

January is such a difficult month for me. It’s exciting to think of the promises of a new year, but it’s cold so all I want to do is wrap up in a soft, warm blanket (preferably my Chicago Bears one). Speaking of my favorite NFL team… January REALLY stinks when the Bears don’t make […]

We are on the home stretch! Today is Election Day, so that means we won’t have to watch those annoying commercials anymore. Yippee! But guess what? That means there will be a winner and a loser. AND someone (probably lots of someones) will think that the sky is falling depending on which side they happen […]
