What a Drag!
Last night, I watched the opening ceremonies of the 2024 Summer Olympics. I also watched as social media exploded with outrage over men wearing wigs and dresses while seeminging to recreate Leonardo da Vinci’s painting, “The Last Supper.” I eventually turned the television off, put my phone down, and went to sleep. I felt like…

Milestones
Life is full of milestones. Some we mourn, some we celebrate, many are both. For a parent, there are many of those mixed milestones as children grow older.

The End of an Era?
Today is a day to be celebrated! The Supreme Court just announced its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. This ruling overturns Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

48 hours
So, I have not blogged as often as I wanted over the past year. This past year has definitely had its struggles. However, God has been faithful. He has brought me through many difficult days and here we are with less than 48 hours to go. In less than 48 hours, I will be in…

Praying for the Lost
In today’s bible reading, we read the first 6 verses of 2 Corinthians 4. Verses 3-4 give us a very compelling reason to pray for the lost and gives us instruction on how to pray. 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of…

Not Yet
Let me begin this post by saying a huge “thank you” to Anthony Williams and his family. Anthony was willing to donate a kidney to me and was a match. However, the doctors did not feel that he would be able to donate. Anthony will not have any problems with two kidneys, but some of…
