He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands

What’s right with the World?
As we sat in a circle surrounded by a beautiful group of women, the familiar ring of heartbreak and sadness rang out. Cancer is running rampant, death is prevalent, children need prayer, and marriages are being challenged. All that is wrong with the world seemed to...
Pardon the Paint Smell
Boy did it smell bad. Stink, stank, stunk! But boy, it was pretty. I walked into the freshly painted area. My nose alerted me before I was even within viewing distance; somewhere, there had to be fresh paint! You know that smell. The kind that makes you want to turn...

Fully Dressed!
Standing there looking in the mirror it dawned on me. Well, really, the Spirit was speaking to me. "Jodie, you're getting ready for the your day. Are you putting on all the right stuff?" Deodorant for when I sweat. Check! Blush to perk up my cheeks. Check! Hairspray...
