Mother’s Day Heartache

I survived eight years without knowing where my adult daughter was. I was anguished, not knowing how she was doing. I cried my eyes out for eight Christmases. I missed eight birthdays. I can’t tell you how many times I considered taking my life to end the pain.
I hated Mothers Day the most, possibly because all our birthdays surrounded it; my daughter, my mom, and mine. For many of those years, I avoided church on Mothers Day.

Has Our Enemy Been Destroyed?

Today, a lot of “What if?” questions traveled through my mind. Do you know the type? I try not to entertain them often, nor the thoughts that come from a place of fear. God does not give us a spirit of fear (2 Tim. 1:7).

Alpha and Omega

As a child, I played with my little wooden blocks. Each block portrayed a letter of the alphabet. I could use them to create words or build a castle.
Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, and Omega is the last. When Jesus Christ declared “I am the Alpha and Omega,” He meant He consisted of everything from A to Z. We often use that term to describe something that contains all the information on a subject.
With twenty-six letters in the English alphabet, we create myriads of words. All words come from those twenty-six letters. We cannot create a word or a book without them, and we can’t find total fulfillment apart from Jesus Christ.

This Will Help You Shine As Lights in a Dark World

Before you read any further, get all your complaints and rants out of your system. That’s right, say it out loud, because this might be your last complaint. I wish it could be that easy to stop. It’s a nasty habit we inherited from our Israelite forefathers. Never mind that we aren’t Jewish.
