The other day, I mentioned in my daily email that Joe and I wanted to go to a particular restaurant while we were in Mexico. The chef was the first Mexican to receive a Michelin Star, and I was excited to go since I had watched a television show where they talked a lot about…
I recently made a trip back to my hometown to visit my family. This trip happens every 5 to 6 weeks since I also have my beautiful daughter-in-law cut and color my hair. I always look forward to these trips and spending time with my parents, children, grandchildren, siblings, and the rest of my extended…
I grew up in church. That means I attended church on Sunday, Sunday nights, and Wednesday nights. Plus, if there was a revival or meeting, we attended those too. So, you would think that I would have heard about all the Biblical figures in the Bible. However, I don’t believe that I’ve ever listened to…
The other day, my daughter wanted to take some photos for a work anniversary celebration. She had a cake, and she had bought a plastic cake stand to use in her photos. I told her that I had something much more beautiful that we could use, and I pulled out this gorgeous cake stand for…
I have a fear of flying. Since my husband is a private pilot, and we own a plane, you would think that I could get over that fear. I understand the statistics and realize that flying is the safest mode of transportation, or at least that is what my husband tells me. But, when the…

Last week, a comment was left on my Sunday post about prayer. The comment said that she was confused about who to pray to. Do you pray to God, or do you pray to Jesus? I can understand the confusion, so I wanted to talk about the Holy Trinity this week. Let’s look at the…
Have you ever felt like you just didn’t have enough? Like no matter how hard you worked or how much you saved, there was always something missing. It could be money, time, or even love. I’m sure we have all felt like this at one time, but what if I told you that there is…
How many times have you heard the saying, “it’s not what you know; it’s who you know?” I recently read this in a book, and it made me wonder if it was true. The author was talking about how to get ahead in business and was discussing his contact list. He reasoned that the more…
In Matthew 18:3, Jesus says, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” I think this verse suggests that in order to enter the kingdom of heaven, we must have a simple, innocent, and trusting faith like that of a child. It may…
