Last Words
Why is it very hard to tell your brothers and sisters what they really need to hear? You watch them hurting themselves and others. Then you start the ” last words” scenario in your mind and rehearse what needs to be said. By “last words”I mean the words that a dieing person can utter [...]
A Lost Soul
Today my Muslim friend is coming to visit. This is part of her last email to me : Sister I have pure, clean intentions to show you the Truth of Islam….I have been honest with you that I am NOT open to Christianity what so ever in the sense that I have researched it and [...]
Children
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. Lo, children are an [...]
Blessings
Today I said bye to my son,my daughter in law and my grandson. We had them for a very blessed week. The house looked like it has been hit by a bomb! A bomb of love , joy , laughter and precious moments of bonding with the addition to our family. Thank the Lord for [...]

You need to understand that she was purposely distant with me after she knew that I was Baptist. I visited her few times but [...]
Submission!
The Ladies’ home meeting was going to be at one of the ladies in church that lived the furthest . Tony was driving the van and we set up very early to collect the eight ladies that were going with us. We arrived 15 minutes early for our first pick up. The lady was [...]
Cain and Esau
How sad is it when we identify more with the enemies of God then those that are in His family? How many times have we heard the phrase (and maybe said it too), “He/she is better than many Christians I know.” When I first read in the old testament about how Cain’s offering was rejected, [...]
GYM
We were going through intense trials for a while and then I started feeling some physical symptoms that concerned me so I went to see the doctor…..and then another one. The two doctor’s diagnosis was that I have DEPRESSION!! Both prescribed antidepressants. One of them (the female doctor?) suggested that I go to the Gym [...]
My First Blog !
What should be the first thing you blog about?? Well, I am not sure yet…I have read all the blogs on GMT and liked some and thought others went right above my head. There was one blogger that I looked forward to reading her blog as it always cheered me up. Sadly she [...]
