For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. Romans 7:19-20 I battle so many sins in my life! For those of you …

I Thess. 5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. My life has not exactly turned out the way I had thought it would. I never dreamed that I would be married to a preacher, much less a pastor! I have never felt qualified to be set up as an example …
John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. I love to read. I could stay in the public library all day, if I had the …

Note: I wrote the following devotional thought several months ago while my husband was away at a fellowship meeting. Here I am, alone again. Well, I’m not really alone, of course, but I …

I was just sitting here, looking at facebook, goofing off, and thinking. (Didn’t know I could do four things at once, didya? Weeeelll…I don’t like to brag.) As I was sitting here, I realized that it’s almost time to get my hair highlighted. Yep. I used to be a natural blond, but now I’m a …
My pastor (and sweetheart) has been away at conference this week, so I have not had much time to blog. There are five kids around here that keep wanting me to feed them among other things. haha! Anyway, this morning as I was having my quiet time, I decided to make a new prayer list. …
