Hey Buddy, Can You Spare a Taco . . .

Cheryl - May 1, 2025

Navigating the world as a Christian can be difficult, especially when there are people who want to take advantage of your faith.  Genuine Christians are fairly easy to spot, which can make them an easy target for anyone hoping to make a quick buck.  Scripture is pretty clear on helping those in need, but what […]

Satan’s Favorite Recipe (Stirring the Pot)

Cheryl - April 26, 2025

Have you ever noticed that when something irks you, satan will find a way to exemplify it? After all, he has nothing better to do than to try and wreak havoc in your life.  For me, it seems to be whenever I am in a hurry to get somewhere, that satan shows up and I […]

The Size of Courage . . .

Cheryl - March 26, 2025

It was like any normal day, as I sat at work preparing things that I needed to do, when I saw my boss’s car pulling up next to the building.  I could hear him unlocking and then locking the main door as he entered the office.  It was for safety reasons that we kept the […]

When it Rains . . .

Cheryl - March 13, 2025

I am sure you have heard the old expression, “when it rains it pours.” Well, I for one would buy stock in that expression, considering the last several weeks of my life.

Either You’re a Christian or You’re Not . . .

Have you ever been around someone whose negativity has affected you so gravely that you find yourself mimicking their behavior?

When the negative […]

One Last Gift

Seeing my Dad ill was as natural to me as breathing, and although I’d grown accustomed to the countless hospital visits and emergency room trips, I never could get used to the possibility of him dying.  It was something that I always worried about, but tried to convince myself that it could never happen. As […]

That’s Probably Pete

Cheryl - January 21, 2025

When my husband and I bought our first home in the country, it was an exciting adventure for us.  After first living in an apartment, and then a rental house surrounded by neighbors, we both longed for the privacy that living in the country would afford us. Although the home itself needed much updating, we […]

When God Speaks, Listen . . .

Cheryl - January 6, 2025

I had never been a participant in my previous church’s food ministry.  It wasn’t that I hadn’t wanted to be, I just don’t take kindly to the unknown and I had absolutely no idea what to expect.  In reality, I thought that I would have to prepare the meal, serve it and hand out bags […]
