No April Fools

I can’t stand April Fools’ Day! Have never liked it. Thinking back, I don’t recall anything in particular happening to make me not like it, but I was picked on quite a bit when I was young and extremely sensitive. Even the mildest joke probably devastated me back then.  If you recall, April 1st was […]

L-Seven Days

Five, four, three, two, one. . .liftoff! It is more like 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, but, either way, on April 1, 2022, my book, Banderidge, will launch. I may not know what it feels like to be an astronaut soaring through the heavens, but I know how I feel sending Banderidge out

No Sugar Daddy in Heaven

Our church-wide twenty-one-day fast ended on Monday, January 31st. Wes and I were praying about several things and saw encouraging results. As the requests for prayers came in, we added them to our list. Three people we were praying for who were hospitalized improved greatly. Something we have prayed about for months and has been

Let Your Jesus Show

Wow! I have missed you all! I have not talked to you since mid-November and I apologize. I could sling a bunch of excuses at you, but I will not do that; instead, I will share a little bit of what the last month looked like. Shortly after my last blog, I announced I signed

It Is Secondary

I do not know about you, but I tend to get caught up in the entanglements of life sometimes. Well, maybe more than sometimes, if I am being honest. I forget what is important and let myself fret over the inconsequential.  As people who follow Jesus, we need to remember and try to keep this

The Joy of Enjoying

On October 23rd, I participated in Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon. I had a great time reading–something I do not get to do enough. I like sleep too much to make the full 24 hours, but I did read for just over 15 hours. It was a fantastic day. My to-read pile had seven books in

Tug of War

“Moderation and variety” is something I taught my children while they were growing up. It can be applied to just about everything. One of the conversations this would come up in was food. Moderation. Not only in how much to eat but when it comes to flavoring the food and other areas of preparation. Too

Read with Me

There are so many great events for lovers of words to participate in. So many that I will never get to enjoy them all, but I wish I could, and I am still going to try. Just so you know, I receive nothing for endorsement or event dropping, just the pleasure of knowing you might
