Is God’s Good Enough?
We have heard it said in church all our lives that “God is good all the time and all the time, God is good.” It is taught to us from infancy that God is good and that He is working for our good. As a very young child I started being taught that we cannot…

Being Single
I am an author….obviously. I am a teacher, a mother, a daughter, a sister. I am a dog owner. I love coffee, being in my house and I prefer experiences over things. I am a church member, an ordained minister, a college graduate, a musician and a fairly good cook (according to my kids). I…

Press In
The word “prayer” tends to evoke images of demure bowed heads in a silent cathedral except for the low reverent hum of an organ thrumming out “Amazing Grace” in the background. I think that’s why so many people find it a hard concept to grasp. “How do I talk to God?” Sometimes, in church circles,…

A Father’s Love
Do you think it’s true that most women end up marrying men that share their father’s traits? Well, in my case I believe it. Both my father and husband are funny, always going back and forth with the “dad jokes”. They are both loving and affectionate. I’ve seen my father give a hug and kiss…

In South Texas, As It Is In Heaven
I love this year’s national women’s ministries department theme, As it is in Heaven. I think every Christ follower I know longs for Heaven for many reasons, chief among them, to see and worship our King. Along with seeing Jesus face to face, we will also be free from this world and all that it…

Worship As They Do In Heaven
“May your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10 This year the national women’s ministries department has chosen these words as our theme for 2026: As It Is In Heaven. Looking around our world today, it is difficult to imagine this being anything like what we have…

Drawing from the Well: Sharing Kindness with Others
February is known as the month of love. We celebrate Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s with our gal pals. There’s even a day to show love to our pets. Not only that but February is American Heart month. Do you see where I’m going with this? But perhaps you didn’t know there’s another national day in…
