Am I fearful; full of fear? I don’t really think of myself as a scaredy cat. I don’t watch scary movies because I don’t like to put evil thoughts into my mind. I prefer Holy Spirit thoughts. I read the scripture of 2 Timothy 1:7 saying: For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. I tried to break down this verse. GOD has not given me the spirit of fear. GOD has given me power, GOD has given me love and GOD has given me a sound mind. No ...
The morning was off to a beautiful start with a hot cup of coffee, the news on television and all I needed to do was put on my makeup. I have loved makeup since middle school.

I stand in awe of my holy God as He literally changes lives before my eyes in a two month period. I am humbled as He allows me to be a small part ...
Hello dear friends. What a whirlwind this has been. Today I returned to work for the first time since Cliff’s surgery and have been running non-stop since my feet hit the floor this morning. I have hardly had a moment to catch my breath. Cliff has been recovering well, although he caught a bad cold while in the hospital the second time and his cough has kept us all up at night.
