Pain and Suffering? Where is God?
Who among us has not wondered where is God during the pain and suffering in our lives? I know that when my sister-in-law found out she had brain cancer, I wondered - "Why, God?".

But He is friends, and this is exactly why Unstoppable is the a great DVD for all of us to watch. I think … [Read more...]
When Things Are Out of My Control
The winter weather really affected our seminar attendance with the local church here in Baton Rouge. Attendance hasn't been as high as it was a week ago. Or as high as it normally is.

About Seasons of Gray The … [Read more...]
Kindergarten Bible Class: Abraham Activities
This last week, we've went over the story of Abraham in our Bible class. Each day, I follow our lesson plan and read a part of the story of Abraham. When the section of the story is over, my Princess doesn't want it to end. She wants me to read the next day's portion. She really loves the story of Abraham and Sarah. We were both pleased this weekend when they had Greatest Heroes and Legends of the Bible on TBN. It was the show entitled Sodom and Gomorrah but much of the story was about … [Read more...]
Trials and Tribulations: Bible Verses to Help
We've had a rough week. The trials and tribulations this week just felt overwhelming. Do you have weeks like that? Negative things never end it seems. You wonder, can anything else happen? That was my week this past week. Can I vent a bit on here? This week, we had problems with Straight Talk cell phone service. My husband's phone has been shut off for four days now. We are doing everything we can to get it back up. There is no communication at ST and their customer service is seriously … [Read more...]
