Hello! This is my first post from our new house! Yes, praise the Lord, we have arrived safely at our home in Lawton, Oklahoma! It was a full day on Wednesday, April 24, as we loaded the truck and drove about seven hours to our new town. We were met by some folks from our …
God has blessed me with many acquaintances and several good friends over the years. But my first best friend, outside of my parents, would be my sister, Melanie. She asked the Lord to give her a baby sister and God heard that prayer. From the moment I came home from the hospital, my sister fluttered …
It was a dreary start to our Resurrection Sunday today, but the sun is shining now. We rejoice that HE LIVES!

The doctor has given me strong pain medication (which, thankfully, I don’t need right now) and has said I must continue to wear the “boot” at night. He said …

In 2003, my husband and I were living in Topeka, Kansas. It’s a long story. We’d gone there to work for a a pastor who was in ill health. Terry was going to take over the church for him after a few months. Well, six months into our time there, we learned that the man …
