Several years ago, I was struggling with my weight creeping up after menopause hit with a vengeance. Out of sheer frustration, I turned to the keto diet to get rid of the extra pounds.

Thanksgiving and Cuba
A month ago, my husband and I were privileged to be part of a large group of musicians (singers, instrumentalists, former pastors and ministers of music) traveling to Cuba to minister to the people there in various ways.

I’ve been in awe forContinue reading “Peppers, Carrots, Bugs and more…”

Most of the world seem to know the details, but not me. I was a 1-year old when Kennedy was shot. So I wasn’t in theContinue reading “In case you don’t know”
What’s in your hands – take II
Sometimes God reveals to us what’s in our hands that we’re holding on too tightly. Through the Holy Spirit, He lets us know what we need to surrender to Him because it’s creating a wedge between Him and us – or it’s a barrier to our spiritual growth – or we’re clinging so tightly thatContinue reading “What’s in your hands – take II”
