As the Fourth of July approaches, I hope you will take time and reflect why this day is so important. Think about all the men and women who have lost their lives so that we may have our freedom. Think about the men and women who sacrifice their personal time, time away from family, and...

Focusing on Children…Vacation Bible School, Collierville, TN
I don’t know about you, but as a parent (and working mom) I get pulled into many different directions. Like most well meaning parents, I only want the BEST for my children. I focus on their grades, their social activities, and their sports activities (and, trust me, I could go on! ha!). My husband and...
What are you doing? Don’t let life pass you (and others) by…
Several blog posts back, I mentioned a long wilderness journey I experienced with my family. This journey taught me several things! Among many other lessons I have learned, I find myself being more open to those in need around me. Do you pay attention to those in need around you? More and more I am...
What’s Important to You? A Reality Check…
The other morning, my husband rushed in during our morning activities and said, “You MUST listen to this!” We promptly booted up the computer and avidly listened. In fact, we listened to this clip twice because the words were SO truthful. In a society that places so much emphasis in wordly living instead of GODLY...
National Day of Prayer
The first Thursday in the month of May has historically been known as National Day of Prayer. While most Christians and other followers of faith pray on a daily and continual basis, we must not take this day for granted. It saddens me greatly that there are those who do not understand the significance and...
Good Friday and Happy Easter
Good Friday is a significant day in the lives of Christians. It is the day that Jesus bled and died on the cross for OUR sins. I don’t know about you, but I am saddened and ashamed that it is my sin and selfishness that caused his death. I can’t help but think, “How can...
Update–A look back and a look ahead
The blog will be silent the next several days as I take time to travel, work, and spend some much needed time with family. I have given a lot of thought to this blog post, and I want to spend it focusing on a book that I am reading called, “You Were Born for...
Spiritual Post
Have you ever sat back and wondered why your life hasn’t gone as you had planned? Even as Christians, we often struggle with “what ifs” and “if onlys”. We trust God, attend church, complete Bible studies, worship daily, yet constantly we are faced with new challenges that can cause us to question our...
Happy New Year
Happy New Year! I hope 2009 was a happy, healthy, and prosperous one for you and your family. As you begin your 2010 journey, if you are like many people, you’ve made goals and resolutions for yourself. The list you’ve made tells a lot about you, who you are, what you believe...
A Must See Video! How The Lost Get Found…
I was busy working in my office yesterday when my husband said, “Cindy, you MUST watch this video.” All I could think was, “I have so much work to do, and I really don’t have time to watch a video!” *insert sheepish look here*
I continue to be amazed and inspired by my husband! ...
