Last week I received a sweet surprise in the mail. Beverley’s daughter recently found an undated letter that her mother had written to me while I was living in Knoxville. I had mailed a signed copy of “Showered By Grace” to Bev when I received my first shipment of books. She referenced the receipt of Read More …
St. Peter’s Home
I remember a large orphanage in Memphis when I was growing up, located on an impressive block of prime real estate in Midtown Memphis. Black wrought iron fencing wrapped around the property. We passed by this location whenever we drove down Poplar Avenue or when we visited Overton Park, and I would wonder about the Read More …
Church
I have attended church faithfully since Scott’s death. I love corporate praise and worship, and I am spiritually nourished by the Word of God spoken from the pulpit. That being said, I have struggled with “church people” since I returned to church as an adult with Scott in 2008. My only previous experience was with Read More …
Stormy Night
We were traveling to Beaumont, Texas, to visit my dad. Our son was all of six weeks old in 1981 and we wanted to show him off to Grandpa! He was already sleeping most of the night and we decided to drive through the evening, to arrive early in the morning. There were three different Read More …
Dishonor
I stopped watching television in 2016 as a personal choice and I have not missed that noise. Recently, I was working in a client’s home for several hours. Their TV was on and the program was a reality soap-opera type platform. I could see the word, “Bravo” in the corner of the screen. The show Read More …
Peacock Dream, 11/24/2015, 6 AM
I am standing in a roped line. Ahead of me are many rows of people that weave back and forth following the roped path. The line is moving forward slowly. We are in a large room, well lit, with many windows, old wood floors, and painted walls. I can see an open doorway ahead. To Read More …
Testimony
I was invited to share my testimony with a group of pastors and ministry leaders in South Bend on March 10, 2022. I condensed the book of 235 pages into 10 minutes. God’s radical love began transforming my heart through the love and death of my husband, Scott. “Showered By Grace” reveals the details. In Read More …
Redemption Church
Sunday, May 22, 2016, was my first visit to Redemption Church in Knoxville. During the weeks prior to this day, through a process of dreams and time alone with the Lord, I understood this was the next step in my personal walk with God. When I arrived that morning, I noticed golf carts moving through Read More …
Firefly Interview
I began employment with Firefly Home Care in September 2021. I did not understand why I was led to this company after Petunia relocated to heaven in August. I had hoped my time in Goshen was at an end; however, God answered my prayer for direction by bringing “Firefly” to mind. Following that nudge, I Read More …
Rescued
Breakfast is part of my daily morning routine, and I take my supplements following the meal. The largest vitamin is a solid uncoated capsule shape. Today the pill became stuck in my throat, blocking my airway. I could not suck in any air, I could not cough, and I did not know how to un-choke Read More …
