From Monday’s Post: I should tell you that my own story of stepping up my courage began today (Sunday). I went out for an early morning run before church and as I was listening to my ishuffle I heard God whisper to me, “Lynn, you step out and be brave for me. You do one…

A Married Single. Help a Girl Out
I'm part of a small group. It's composed of mostly couples and last night was our first meeting since the summer break. As this was our first meeting, the gathering was large.

The Elusive Dream
Today’s post may be a bit rambling but I'm sensing you may be in the same place. So here goes. Yesterday was Father’s Day. I know this day can be emotional and challenging to spouses who are spiritually mismatched. I know this because I am still one of them. I walked into church this morning.…

What’s His Idea of Romance?
Over the weekend, I went out with my husband, and as we were talking, I suddenly had the thought, “I know what I consider romantic, but what’s his idea of romance?” Valentine’s Day seems to pretty much revolve around us women, but I wonder if we miss out on some great opportunities to connect with…

Hope For The Unequally Yoked (Original Article posted at the Internet Cafe)
I sat down in church recently just before the service started and glanced around. I noticed that just like me, there were women scattered about the large auditorium sitting alone. I wondered about them. Were they married, like me? Was their husband at home on the couch watching baseball this morning, like mine? Were they…

He is Risen, Just as He Said!
The Resurrection Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb. Suddenly there was a great earthquake!

Weekend Devo – Did Abraham Forget?
Yesterday, on our last day of fasting and praying for the New Year, Rosheeda told us to REMEMBER. Do you know that if Abraham had remembered what God had told him (or maybe just connected the dots), he might have avoided two pickles he got himself into? In Genesis 12, God promises a nation to…
