But Ya Gotta Prime The Pump! DRAW WATER FROM THE WELL: But First Ya Have To Prime The Pump. Isaiah 12:3 You will draw water from the wells of salvation. John 4:13 Jesus answered, ”Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water I give him, will never thirst. My Granny always used to say, “You’ll only get out of this job, what you put into it.” “How badly do you want it?” “Is it worth your devotion…

Isaiah 55: 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts…
Down The Road I Saw The Significance James 1:2-3 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing OF YOUR FAITH DEVELOPS PERSEVERANCE. OMG! Tested? Someday when you read my autobiography, you’ll get it. Trust me, when I went through the darkness of post-partum depression, it was nothing more than a miracle, as the light returned. I can’t tell you about all of those in the same situation, to…
Luke 1:26-29 And you, my child will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare the way for Him, to give people the knowledge of salvation, through the forgiveness of sins, because of the tender mercies of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace. GIRLFRIENDS YOU ARE THE BEST! My group of girlfriends and I have…
Walter Cronkite…I Miss You! Eph. 4:15 Speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ. I’m a child of the 50’s 60’s eras. Every Night, Walter Cronkite ruled the airwaves. After I married in’72, I could still hear that electrifying voice of truth and wisdom, resound on our TV channel. TRUTH….. You always knew that whatever he reported was Gospel. RESPECT… Due to the…
Matt 1:23 The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel-which means, ”God with us.” I am absolutely enthralled, with the strong women, in the ancestry of Christ. Due to the fact that they said, ”Yes.” The first book of Matthew proclaims the names of these women. Tamar, whom I believe to be a 7th great grandmother to Boaz, took a leap of faith. She was betrothed to the two sons of Judah. They would not allow her to…
First of all, Church is NOT obsolete! Here are 13 reasons why people don’t go… 1.I get nothing out of going to church. Have you ever tried opening your heart, and asking God to help you find one?

Next year, my first book will be out. Psalm 40:1-2 I waited patiently for the Lord. He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit; out of the mud and mire.

Spotlight 3 – Love, Live, Laugh, Learn, and Leave a Legacy Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:4 …there is a time to laugh…..there is a time to dance. Granny always said,” Laughter is the best medicine.” How right she was. Whenever there was a struggle or grief in the family, she always tried to place a funny spin on it, to lighten the load. My mom, sister, cousin Joan and I, always had the Granny Edith laugh. I claim it proudly, for in my family, it’s an expression of love and joy.  …
SPOTLIGHT#2 LOVE, LIVE, LAUGH, LEARN, AND LEAVE A LEGACY The two women that made a huge difference in my life were Mama Ruthie and Granny Edith. They taught me the following: Psalm 34: 8 Taste and see the goodness of the Lord. Blessed is he who takes refuge in Him. So many people just go through the motions of everyday life. Many people never truly live. In my youth, I lived on a 15 acre, country abode, north of Montgomery, near…

All of us work jobs touching lives of others; however, we…
James 1:19 Be slow to speak and slow to become angry. DON’T PLAY POSSUM WITH ME A few months ago my husband had a knee replacement. However, he was in good enough shape to wobble outside, thank the Good Lord. CHECK OUT THE SCENE: We had just put up the Xmas Tree that Sat p.m., and were enjoying Hallmark Xmas Movies. Suddenly, the pups outside began this HUGE DEEP…
MY 3 SONS I HEAR THE 60’S SHOWTUNE SINGING IN MY HEAD Proverb: Bring up a child in the way he should go, and he will not depart from it. Hiam Ginott: A child is not a vase to be filled, but a fire to be lit. Fred McMurray would be very proud of us. He was the super dad who raised 3 sons, with the help of his uncle, Bub. I loved watching this program growing up. It modeled how to parent seriously, yet with humor and discernment. We were a couple who took parenting VERY SERIOUSLY. It…
