What comes to your mind when you think about a military marriage or family? Yes, we’ve all read about the stress that goes along with deployments and families living apart. But it’s another thing to hear it directly from the husbands, wives, and families who live this reality. US Army
Have you ever felt like no one seems to care about you, good or bad? Do you feel lost in a crowd? Like you’re just taking up space and there seems to be no real purpose to it all… REMINDER FROM GOD: Long before I laid down the earth’s foundations,
This morning I am sipping on my Starbucks latte in the airport as I think of you! I am so very thankful that God is my Husband, and He travels with me! It’s a pure and precious love that I am daily amazed that He shares with me. As I
Have you ever sacrificed tomorrow by worrying about it today? When I find myself fretting over tomorrow, or next week or month or year, I remember Joseph. Beginning in Genesis 37, Joseph’s amazing story takes decades to come to fruition. Joseph’s first waiting time is spent being tormented by his step-brothers.
By Laurie L. Webb – Ordinary…you know – common, unexceptional – one might even say boring! The question is “can God use ordinary?” Well, let’s ask David, Joseph, and Gideon. All pretty ordinary individuals. David’s Dad didn’t even take him along when Samuel asked for Jesse’s sons so that one
Senior living communities, such as nursing homes, assisted living, and additional communities can provide immense assistance and care for individuals who are looking for a living community with health care and social services for this stage of their life; but it can also be very costly. The costs associated with
I love all the new oldie stations we have now. They play tons of old TV shows. I mentioned before that I love old westerns and one of the old TV series I used to watch was Wagon Train. In search of a better life, pioneers joined a wagon train
There have been a lot of references to lions in my devotions, once again. The most thought provoking was from 1 Samuel 17:34: And then came a lion. When King David was just a boy tending his father’s sheep, he fought off many wild animals, including a lion. David saw them as opportunities to
By Rita Schulte – Our world is in constant turmoil today. Everyone seems to be defending a cause or fighting a battle of some sort. Whether it’s the war on terrorism, defending the cause of morality, sexual equality, the right to life, or the right to choose, our fight is
By Olga Hermans – Have you ever been in a situation in which standing up for your rights meant stepping out of the will of God? People are crying out for their own rights in the streets. The western world has become a performance-oriented people. It looks like everybody is
An account, whether true or not, is told in Streams in the Desert of an old, southern deacon who would always end his prayers with, “Lord, prop us up on every leaning side.” When asked why he prayed that way, he answered, “Well, sir, you see, it’s like this…I got
You’ve heard the statement, “Something’s Brewing”. Just recently I made that comment on my Facebook page and I was referring to the feeling that something was brewing in the spirit realm. Immediately after making that comment, I began to ponder the word “brew” and what it meant. To brew means
Soap and Baby Lotion are her fragrances. She clutches the blanket, whose color is of tenderness, and whose lace took days to make. Long chocolate ringlets cascade over my shoulder. Her forehead hides in the bend of my neck, and my hair covers hers, as I whisper to her softly,
The chances are good that you’ve either read or heard of the book, “The 5 Love Languages.” It’s a New York Times #1 bestseller, and has remained on marriage bestseller lists for the past 16 years – almost unheard of. Author Dr. Gary Chapman has been pivotal in teaching practical
“The highest reward for a man’s toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it” ~John Ruskin Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night jolted by the fact that I am now 50 years old. For a brief moment, I think it’s
Mission work over the years has been such a joy for me. Visiting places, seeing unimaginable things at times… some funny, some not so funny. On our trips to Mexico, usually we traveled in a rented motor home. We carried building materials, tools and all kinds of items to accomplish

As I worship in my comfortable home, sipping on my wonderful spice tea, enjoying the presence of the Lord of lords and King of kings, I realize not all widows have this experience! I learned a long time ago that Satan never created anything, for he is not the Creator!
By Laurie L. Webb – What does your “Be” say about you? All of us have a tendency to put forth a “happy” face at times, or a “spiritual” face at other times. We all know how to “act”, right? The saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words”. So it
“We shall devote ourselves whole-heartedly to prayer and the ministry of the Word.” Acts 6:4 Phillips Solomon warned, “Through lowering of hands, the house leaks.” (Eccl. 10:18 Masoretic Text, emphasis mine) This slackness applies not only to our physical house but to our spiritual house as well.
