Living In The Fast Lane~An Encore’ Post
Too fast? Fast cars, fast food and the fast lane? Or is it rather, to fast or not? I say make fasting a way of life! There is no doubt you will grow closer to God with fasting. If you have not heard from Him lately, fasting and praying can certainly heighten your sensitivity to hearing God speak to your life and circumstance. Fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline that sharpens and hones us as followers of Christ. I was so blessed to have a Godly mother, a prayer warrior who fasted regularly. She fasted,...
Read MoreThankful Thursday~It’s A Good Day When A Son Asks For Prayer
Today on this Thankful Thursday as we headed to school, the middle Son of Thunder was a bit out of sort. This is unusual for him because he is usually calm, cool and collected. That is unless he see a scary movie. But today was different. It was different because he was running for a position as a 4-H officer for the fifth grade class.

Life is full. It always is and many things pull and tug on our lives and cry out for our attention. I have always said Tiger Woods would not be the golfer he is today if his mother had 5 children.

After caring for the three SONS, one husband ( who I must admit is very low maintenance) one dog who thinks she can fly (and who is...

Today on this Thankful Thursday, I am reminded of my mother and how much she and I both loved to create! I love to paint. I love to bead! I love to sew! I love seeing something created out of nothing. Yes, like taking a blank canvas and turning it into something special, something unforgettable. My mother was an artist as most of you know, She was truly gifted. As I shared last night with my beautiful Pure EmPowerment girls, my mom and I painted very differently. But art connected us. There were...
Read MoreThankful Thursdays~ There Are No Words, But Then Again Maybe There Are~
On this Thankful Thursday as we approach the tenth anniversary of 9/11, there are still no words to really describe the sorrow we all feel for our country and the lives lost that day. The innocence we lost as a nation and as individuals. As Winters said on his post, how do you describe and explain such a tragedy to children. Frankly, I must bee honest. I shielded mine. I shielded them from the pain and hurt I knew they would feel if they watched the videos and heard the recounted tails of horror. But...
