Past Paths… and Other Things too Painful to Mention
Last night, via Google Earth, I "traveled" along several paths, remembering how I'd been left alone so many times, since the tender young age of four. I retraced the steps I'd walked in solitude, in both Europe and the U.S. I was shocked at the realization of having wandered so far from home so often. … Continue reading Past Paths… and Other Things too Painful to Mention
Pursue The Shepherd to Escape the Wolves!
Everyone is free to believe as they wish, but no one should fool themselves into believing he or she will ever understand the truth about anything in life without pursuing God's One and Only Son, Jesus Christ.

Forgiveness is a Chewed Shoe
"Forgive... Or, you can choose not to forgive, and get farther away from God. Usually, if you're not a forgiver, you're not a Christian... Like, if your dog chewed up your shoe... you still love him!" ~Abigail Pelleman, age 7 These were the words my daughter said to me this week, after she overheard me … Continue reading Forgiveness is a Chewed Shoe

“The Fourth Grade Cussing Club…” I don’t know how it really started, except that one day on the playground, I suddenly found myself a part of it…and you just had to say bad words to belong. Patti was the ringleader. I didn’t even like her; she was a self-proclaimed atheist. “I don’t believe in God,” … Continue reading Mama has a Sailor Mouth
How to Invite Jesus into Your Heart and Receive Eternal Life!
Who is Jesus? God is our perfect Creator. However, when sin entered the world we became fallen, sinful, and imperfect. No sin is allowed to enter Heaven, so we cannot make it to Heaven on our own. Because God loves us, He sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to become a living sacrifice … Continue reading How to Invite Jesus into Your Heart and Receive Eternal Life!
Narcissism: Battling a Self-Centered Sin
Narcissism. It's the latest overused buzzword. Yet, narcissism is a growing problem, and it's not about to go away. Narcissism is SIN. A narcissist is extremely self-centered, selfishly promoting oneself at all costs, in order to remain on an imaginary pedestal. There are varying levels of narcissism. As someone becomes more selfish, that person becomes … Continue reading Narcissism: Battling a Self-Centered Sin
When People Don’t Play Fair…God Is Our Just Judge
"Do not say, 'I'll pay you back for this wrong!' Wait for the LORD, and he will avenge you" (Prov. 20:22 New International Version). It's hard waiting for God to reveal the truth when you're innocent. It's even harder when you have evidence that someone has done you wrong. But even with evidence, people will … Continue reading When People Don’t Play Fair…God Is Our Just Judge
