Satan perverts and twists everything God created. He wants to be God so bad that he takes great pride and time to slip into the smallest cracks and permeate from there. Most recently in my self reflection I noticed a “crack” in my life that I need to seal up. I’m bringing this to light…

Dr. Anita Phillips teaches that our hearts are like soil, and the seeds we allow to take root, whether faith-filled or fear-based, shape our lives. She challenges the common belief that fear is the opposite of faith, arguing instead that sight is the opposite of faith. What we focus on is what most often limits…

With many government programs being cut and defunded, less jobs available, businesses closing, tariffs and consumer prices skyrocketing, attacks on civil rights and human rights, strains on healthcare and everything else in between, I want you to remember what Habakkuk said: Though the fig tree does not bud    and there are no grapes on…

I want to share my thoughts and pose a question from the book of Jonah.  It’s not something we broadcast, but in truth we are all like Jonah, not wanting to bring the message of repentance to our enemies, those who have wronged us or those we don’t want to have a second chance.  See…

I celebrated my birthday last month and for the last few years I started choosing themes for each birthday. This year I chose cherries. I had cherry accessories for my purse, a cherry decorated cake, a cherry nail art, etc. I even went to the Museum of Ice Cream and had no idea there would…

“By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.” Proverbs 24:3-4 In this verse and throughout Proverbs we constantly read about wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
