God truly has a sense of humor. He can remind us of His presence and involvement if we just open our eyes to see Him. Tuesday night the lyrics of a song were running through my head, well three lines, Things are getting real Jesus take the wheel Only way I’m getting to the other... Continue Reading →
Stuck to unstuck
I recently attended an intimate fellowship weekend at Glorieta, NM, Saturday night was reserved for testimonies. My spiritual mentor walked our women's group through something she called Treasure Testimony many years before, and I felt like it was something that we were supposed to do for this weekend.

Faithful and Honest
“Whoever is faithful in small matters will be faithful in large ones; whoever is dishonest in small matters will be dishonest in large ones.”Luke 16:10 In most relationships, we desire someone who is faithful and honest.
