Have you bought your turkey yet? Are you ready to celebrate "Thanksgiving" with your family? Hmmm, for me that would be a definite "no"! (Well, I did pick up a bag of stuffing the other day, and my husband bought…

Happy February, friend!

How was your week? Have things been pretty smooth, or have you been praying for breakthrough in some area of your life? Well, for me it was a week to grow in faith…

I’m writing these words in mid-January, and I feel like I should be saying, “Happy New Year”, but somehow that greeting doesn’t feel quite right today! No matter where you live in this world, none…

December has been an abundantly fruitful month for me. I sang and spoke in prisons, churches, a baseball stadium, a coffeehouse, a country club, and on Mackinac Island!  Most folks love Christmas music and ask me to bring familiar carols…

I woke up this morning to cold floors and chilly air….NOOOO!! Summer can’t be ending already! I was just getting ready to enjoy it! Oh well, one thing in life is sure - change happens. We can resist it, but…
