My first, remembered, experience with art happened soon after I started the first grade. Mrs. Lumpkin passed out mimeographed pictures of a Great Horned owl. She told us to color it with our Crayola crayons. As I reached into my desk for the box of eight, tiny candle sticks with no wicks, I knew something …
GOD IS AWARE
I was watching several butterflies on a patch of zinnias, when I noticed one with tattered wings. It fluttered from one beautiful flower to another searching for sweet, sugary nectar. Other than looking faded and worn, the wings were doing a great job of getting the Gulf Fritillary where it wanted to go. Several verses …
PONDERING KARMA
My husband and I decided we wanted a Whataburger for lunch. We took a booth near a woman who was playing a game of cards with her two oldest boys. They looked to be about eleven and eight years old. She had twin toddlers, under three years old, on the other side of her. They …
BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS
Dear Readers, I would like to share the first chapter of my latest book, BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. I welcome any feedback, as I strive to hone my writing skills. It takes 15-20 minutes to read. Her throat closed, as if she were sobbing, but she was not crying. Abigail Rose Cunningham made no sound …
PROVE IT!
Today, I want to reach out to fellow believers. The haters of God love to torment us, especially at Easter or Christmas. "Prove it!" they say with a sneer. Most Christians try to do just that. Why? Because we want them to have and to know Jesus Christ. It rarely happens, but we'll never stop …
THANK JESUS
I make a point of thanking Jesus every day for what He did on the Cross. I try to change the prayer around, so I'm not repeating the same phrases, but there are no words to adequately express my gratitude. I praise Him for coming down here and putting up with me. I bless Him …
PANIC ATTACKS
When I asked God to heal my mother from cancer, He said no. I was so disappointed and angry with Him. For several years I could not pray or read Scripture. One time my sister asked me for prayer and I told her I couldn't. I can still see her face. I guess God decided …
My Eyes Are On You, Lord
That's the title of my 4th book. I would like to share a few pages of the 1st chapter with you, dear Readers. My characters travel in a Gypsy wagon across the land, while trusting God to protect them and to direct their paths. This journey is life changing for them. Agatha Jane Beckett was …
SILENCE IS A SIGN OF APPROVAL
Several times on Instagram I have watched wonderful videos and listened to a melancholy, female voice tell us to enjoy the moments in life. She says most of the moments are small, but some are big. This is true, but then her sad voice tells us, "This is all there is." I do not remember …
ARE YOU DENYING JESUS
Before I started blogging, I was shy about revealing my cherished relationship with God. I am so aware of His presence that I constantly "talk" to Him in my head. I share everything with Him. My immediate family and close friends know this, but I was reluctant to disclose this with one and all. My …
