I know, it’s been awhile since our last newsletter—six months to be exact. I had every intention of publishing one in January, but I just didn’t make it happen. We start over every semester at the alternative high school where I teach math—it’s almost like the beginning of the school year. So, it was busier […]

You Are Forever Alive and Flawless in Christ
Every Easter, or Resurrection Sunday, Christians all over the world celebrate Christ’s resurrection from the dead. But believers in Christ don’t have to wait until Easter to celebrate this indescribably (there are simply no words) wonderful event. We can celebrate all day, every day. And not only that, we can celebrate our co-resurrection with Him—which […]
24 Years and Counting!
Today, July 19, 2021, Steven and I are celebrating 24 years of marriage! I am so grateful for this man. He was an amazing answer to the heartfelt prayer of a girl who had given up on her ability to choose the man for her. While going through my second divorce, I meant it when I […]

15 Reasons Why Fall is My Favorite Season

I’ve always sided with the weather man’s definition of my favorite season. It’s fall, y’all! I get unexplainably giddy every year at this time. (Smile.) Wondering if giddy is the right adjective to describe how this season […]
Your Settled Significance in Christ
True confession. Because of my fear of failure, I dropped out of college twice before I started the third time and stayed the course, earning my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics for Secondary Education. I made straight A’s in high school and couldn’t bear the thought of making anything less than perfect in college. And […]
Do You “Get” Grace?
Your love story with Jesus might be a bit like mine. I lived for over thirty years not knowing I became a brand-new person when I accepted Him. And because of not knowing who I was in Christ, I lived just like I wasn’t in Him. In 1997, while going through some heartbreaking circumstances, I began […]
