Life is a journey – and I have learned that one of the most important aspects of that journey is to keep moving! As I look back on my journey, I realize that for much of my life I have felt stuck. Circumstances have often entangled me to the point I couldn’t even begin to see […]
Courage and Hope
I have heard that faith is the antidote of fear and that “perfect love casts our fear” (John 4:18). These aren’t inspirational quotes for me anymore; they are reality. Life can be scary at times, and the scariest thing I have ever experienced left my husband and me in separate intensive care trauma units for […]
Believe It. Live It. Share It.
We live in an age where all brands, big and small, use slogans and taglines to set themselves apart. While there are many slogans, the truly memorable ones connect us emotionally to the brand. As it turns out, I never set out to have a slogan for the Great One Divine™ … until one day […]
Just. Be. Nice.
My dog, Sherman, loves to go to the park. Not for exercise – he has arthritis and doesn’t move very far or very fast. Actually, he loves to socialize and get affection from as many people as he can. He truly loves every person, dog, cat, rabbit…there just isn’t a mean bone in his body. […]
Happiness Blog
I don’t know about you, but sometimes my circumstances can really get me down and affect the happiness I experience. At times I feel like a hamster on a wheel – chasing after something that seems impossible to reach. Deciding it was time for me to get off the wheel, I began a journey to […]
TEAM Great One Divine™
Often the best teams aren’t made up of those with the highest education or the most buzz words on their resume. When Jesus chose His disciples, He chose 12 ordinary people. Christ chose His disciples even though they weren’t appealing by worldly standards; because they were exactly who He needed. It wasn’t important to be […]
Beautiful Heart
At the ripe old age of 35, my doctor sent me to a cardiologist for what he thought was an enlarged heart. The technician administering the ultrasound was surprised to see someone my age, as their patients were generally much older. In the quiet of the darkened room she watched my heart on the video […]
New Year, New in Christ
Each New Year, people around the globe pledge to make positive changes in their activities, routines, and lives. A few of the resolutions develop into good habits. Most however, are quickly abandoned…because even with the best intention and potential of great reward, change is hard. New Year’s resolutions often fail because they are not realistic. […]
Meaningful Gifts
As a kid, I remember getting crocheted house slippers from my grandma every year at Christmas. Of course, I didn’t appreciate what I was getting at the time. I realize now, the time and love my grandma put into each pair of those crocheted slippers. While I can’t go back and show my appreciation of […]
But What If I’m Right?
Years ago, a coworker asked me why I believed in God. As he was still in college, I first thought he was being inquisitive. As his questions became more argumentative and inflammatory, I realized he was simply trying to start an argument in an effort to belittle my faith. He was adamant that religion was […]
