Spring's Reminder

Spring

Spring is perhaps my favorite time of year.  Watching the vibrant colors break forth from the gray of winter and the warmth of the sun push out the cold delights my soul. It’s no wonder God chose this incredible season for the backdrop of Jesus’ death and resurrection—the moment ...

From One Beggar to Another

From One Beggar to Another

A while back, I heard a quote where a Christian defined himself as “just a beggar telling other beggars where to find bread.” I love the quote and hope it is a statement that would define my life as well—for I am, indeed, a broken and needy woman who ...

A Mother's Day Miracle

This past weekend, I was once again reminded of the power of prayer, and more than that—the power of our God.  Last Tuesday, my friend’s mother’s heart stopped, and she collapsed.  911 was called, resuscitation work was done, and she was rushed to the hospital.  The outlook ...
