Yes, through our belief in God, our souls are restored. Many times, we all face problems that seem to have no end. We face situations we thought we could not overcome. When my publisher asked me to put a devotional in this book, I had already written one for a friend. She asked me to write …
Where is your favorite place? A place to love to visit. Maybe you have friends and family there. For a day or a week, you like to kick off your shoes. Most of us have those places. Sixty-two years ago, my sister introduced me to this place. It became my home twice, and Shady Valley …
Each year, some writers select a word to be their word for the year. I thought of several words, but none of them resonated with me. Our church is part of a Disaster Relief Team. I found my word. Love. You need to love humanity or helping people. Volunteers work from sunup to sundown daily …

The first post of 2022 The first post in 2022! How exciting! This is a brand new year, never used before. It\’s all new and clean. Some people would say it\’s perfect. I\’m sure for some, the year is already dirty and not as pretty as it should be. I plan to keep mine clean. …

What a difference a week makes. I wrote last week\’s post before we left for West Virginia and my sister\’s memorial service. I never dreamed there would be so much destruction in our area. We live about twenty miles from Mayfield, Kentucky, and we are in Marshall County, Kentucky. We live about three miles from …
Last Sunday night I was watching Trey Gowdy on Fox News. I enjoy his show because it is relaxed and interesting. He doesn\’t get excited, but tells you like it is. I enjoy that. This segment was about thanks. He said if you came to his house, you\’d see a lot of plaques with \”Thanks\” …
The older we get, the more friends we have in heaven than here on earth. We don\’t think about dying when we\’re young, but it is becoming more on my mind lately. I\’ll be sad to leave my family, but I know they will be with me later. Heaven is getting pretty full of my …
