Many centuries ago, there lived a man named Daniel. Righteous yet enslaved for the sins of the Israelites. While in bondage, Daniel prayed like his life depended on it. We know not to praise someone’s prayer, rather learn from the trust Daniel had in his heart for His God to protect him. Surely, God showed … Continue reading Whispers of Bethlehem: Part 2
When His breath leaves heaven, stars become brighter, human hearts grow lighter, leaving us in awe and wonder. I will not. I shall not. Ever forget His voice in my ears. Oh how I long to hear Him, even now. Because I cannot hear him, I shall not assume He is not speaking. Sometimes in … Continue reading Whispers of Bethlehem
Each November, I begin searching out last year’s jingle bells as I hum Silent Night. I mean no harm nor foul to Thanksgiving, but I shall not lie. My heart thirsts for Advent, to retreat within my resurrected heart, to quicken my tarry at the blessed Manger. I shall not lie. Today, my heart is … Continue reading The Coming of Christ
“What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight, what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs (Matthew 10:27). “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself” (John 12″32). Whomever stays at the bed and breakfast is blessed by the gifts God has … Continue reading Pleasant View Farm Bed and Breakfast Inn: Our Local Getaway
What an incredible opportunity. My mind is swimming through the images of families who walked today because they lost someone they loved to suicide. Some wear names of the deceased, or their photos.

Darkness is real. So is Jesus. Until I knew my Lord and Savior, I wished I had the courage … Continue reading No Depression is Without Hope
Oh how I love my God! “But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” (Matthew 14:27). He used Ms. Cathy Baker and her post to remind me of my given 2021 word. Have you ever stopped and counted the times in one week you have asked the Lion of … Continue reading Take Courage
The sons God gave to me and Jason are growing rapidly into young men. I am afraid to blink my eyes twice. Braedon might be married. Jackson might be across the country at college studying physical therapy. I do not claim to know each of their intensely personal dreams. However, we mama’s know things in … Continue reading National Son’s Day
I know I am not the only one who gets a cold, even if it is in the chest, and thinks this too shall pass. Because I wanted relief, I went to a walk-in clinic one week ago on Saturday. Immediately, they tested me for Covid. Myself and a group of trusted prayer warriors prayed. … Continue reading When the Dr ( well, Jesus) says Rest
My heart is heavy, saturated with sadness. Miss Gabby laid her life out for all to see on social media. At the time, I can imagine her bubbles of excitement to pen her/their story, sharing once-in-a-lifetime pictures. Somewhere in her heart, Gabby was living a dream, the one with potential … that encourages us to … Continue reading Gabby Petito
