Sisters Standing and Sharing Together
we all know how it can be. life takes it turns - twists and for believers we know that God delights in the details (even if we don’t know the details). carrie, jacqueline and i worked together for years. day in an day out at christian television network we worked together, prayed together, laughed together [...]
5 Weeks and Counting - Sisters & Friends
we’ve got just about 5 weeks before it’s time for Sisters Standing Together.
several weeks ago i felt the Lord put it on my heart to host a women’s conference. i specifically felt impressed that it should be a day back to the Basics - or back to the heart of our Father. a day to [...]
Mortgages, Downpayments, & Foreclosures
i’m old enough to remember when a down payment was required for every mortgage. even if you had excellent credit a 20% down payment was the standard for a convention mortgage.
i clearly remember when my husband and i were 22 years old and applying for our first mortgage. we were just out of college - we [...]
cutbacks, setbacks, adversity
just today i learned of another job layoff. pretty much these days we’re hearing about that a lot. the news of the down turned economy sends fear into some people’s souls. even some of the most faith filled people i know have taken a pause to reconsider - reinvest - and re-evaluate.

Dr. Phil’s Show on Teens
this week dr. phil broadcast a show on teens.
the objective of the show was to let parents know about some of the current trends/activities of some of today’s teens. the show did an outstanding job of informing and warning parents about some of the at-risk behaviors of some teenagers. these at-risk behaviors included drug usage, [...]
Opinion Polls
i think we all know that opinion polls waver by the moment. one moment public opinion is that there is hope for economic recovery - the next moment NO HOPE. even the most popular politician, actor, or person can rise or fall on the opinion or popularity poll at any given moment.
even with knowing that [...]
