COVER ‘EM WITH KINDNESS!
Treat everyone with kindness - not because they are nice but because YOU are. Our pastor gave us this quote and it really resonated with me. How many times do we "retaliate" to people who aren't kind to us. We think "I'll show them! I will be rude right back." What...
I want to share with you a new book that my friend, Micah Maddox has written. It's called Anchored In and you can order it here. Micah shares personal stories, such as her father’s abandonment of her family, and couples them with biblical application to offer...

Have you ever walked or driven by a group of workers and it appeared like only one of them was working while the others were just standing around talking, laughing, hands in their pockets? We may become aggravated and have thoughts cross through our minds like: "are...

I Corinthians 13 In Real Life.
I know it sounds cliché but I married my best friend. He is still my best friend. And I am so happy to celebrate 30 years of marriage today. Roger really has lived out 1 Corinthians 13 to me. Love is patient. [Even when I am running late to church.] Love is kind. [To...
