Daily encouragement for Christians
My son faced a great tragedy that left him with the temptation to give up on life. Just as he thought everything was finally coming together, the love he thought he’d never find was gone. Unexpectedly one day she announced that she did not feel well. Over the course of the next few days, she […]
As a writer, words are very important to me. When my grandkids tell me they don’t like to read it rattles everything inside of me. I try to encourage them by asking how they will ever read what Gramma writes if they don’t learn to read. No, those are not the magic words to change […]
How often have you seen history repeat itself? In Ecclesiastes chapter 1 Solomon, the wisest person ever, tells us: “What has been is what will be, what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.” Does history intrigue you?

Do you have a need to know how everything is going to work out? I was speaking with a young man who had a serious financial issue with a short timeline to avoid a huge loss. Every idea he came up with was shot down and the clock was ticking. In my attempt to help […]

Do you feel grounded in your everyday life or like things are spinning out of control? I used to say, “Stop the world and let me off, I’m dizzy.” That was before I met Jesus and found true love. “If someone loves me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and […]
Do you feel the turmoil of our world? It seems as though everyone is pointing a finger at someone they consider a wicked leader.

“The whole world used the same language, the same words.” (Genesis 11:1) Imagine a world of people who completely understood one another. I challenge you to find one family that completely understands each member. I prefer texting as a way of communication for several reasons. I can consider my answer and change it before I […]
