The Power of Words
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” At some point, we’ve all heard that nursery rhyme yelled by some kid who’s being bullied on the playground. In fact, we’ve probably said it ourselves a time or two. Even as adults. I know I’ve said it more times than I care to count. I was one of those kids who was bullied and, eventually, became a bully. Hey, you try being a red~headed, yellow~skinned, freckle~faced, glasses~wearing, braces~having black chick. It wasn’t easy. The one thing I never understood was how that little rhyme was supposed to help because words hurt and they hurt like crazy.…

Book Review: Are We Living in the End Times? By Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins
BOOK DESCRIPTION (FROM THE BACK OF THE BOOK) 27 PERCENT OF THE BIBLE IS DEVOTED TO PROPHECY. But most of us don’t focus 27 percent of our personal Bible study on prophecy. Why? We’re confused. Or intimidated. Or both. This book takes away the mystery ~ and the intimidation. From the creators of the Left Behind series ~ Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins ~ comes a truly astonishing book. User~friendly for the layperson. Remarkably complete for the scholar. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Tim LaHaye, who conceived the Left Behind series, is a renowned prophecy scholar, minister and educator. He has written over 50 nonfiction works that have been published in…

And the “For Sale” Sign is Up
Even as I announced the hubs promotion at work and the family’s relocation to Missouri, things still felt a bit surreal, kinda like I was talking about events that were happening to someone else. Today, it happened to me. I signed the contracts and watched as the realtors put a “For Sale” sign in my front yard. For years, the hubs and I have watched “House Hunters” on HGTV and snickered as the wives shed tears as they talked about leaving their homes. Today I became that wife and my husband snickered. So did my kids. And the realtors. I couldn’t help it. You don’t know how long I waited…

Reading the Bible in 90 Days: What I Learned
Around November 2010, my mom (an evangelist), and I were talking about bibles and the various translations and their readability, when she told me that she had one that she wanted to send me to read. Inwardly I groaned. Growing up, my mom’s not~so~subtle questioning of my salvation had always been a sore spot with me. In fact, I’d say that it directly led to my rebellious phase. So when the Bible arrived, I left it in the mailing envelope, on the corner of the dining room table, touching it only to move it from place to place so the family could eat our meals… Around the end of December,…

There Shall be No More Weeping…
Revelation 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. I apologize for not posting this sooner but I’m with family and friends who have gathered to say “good bye” to my aunt, Sylvia, who lost her battle with breast cancer. This has been both a time of sadness and rejoicing. While we’re sad that my aunt had to leave her family and friends, we rejoice in the knowledge that her suffering has ended and she has gone home to be with the Lord. Today as I sat through…
