Pickin’ Persimmons

Mama and daddy had just returned from a trip to Virginia. Unfortunately, they had wrecked the van and traveled home in a rental. Bummer! Thank God, at least no one was hurt, the van can be replaced or restored.
A couple of weeks later, the van was ready and daddy, feeling antsy, made a run back […]

God’s Dinner Bell

She was awakened by the telephone. “Hello.” “Hey, Sandra, Bucky has been real sick and you need to go lay hands on him.” Cloudy headed, she’s thinking, it’s late and I’m in bed trying to sleep. She said, “you’re a believer, you have hands, you can go and lay hands on him.” “No, no, you […]

Whatcha Doing Here?

This girl doesn’t generally get out at night; she just likes to be at home when it’s dark. She picked up a flyer in the foyer of the church and stuck it in her Bible. It said something about Women’s Resource Center of Bradford County. Hum…., that’s where she lives. She’ll read it later. Later […]

Life Ain’t Fair…God Is Just

The young couple had moved into town to be closer to the hospital. She was pregnant and due three days after Christmas. It was an exciting time in their lives. The first child, the first grandchild and first great grandchild. Folks on both sides of the family were very excited.
She visited her doctor regularly and […]

God Gave Us Grandmas

Do you have a grandma? This is not a trick question, but let me help you with it. If you have a belly button, you do. Neither is it the chicken or the egg dilemma, grandmas came first. There’s just something about grandmas. They are grandmas because they are so grand. Little Red Riding Hood […]

God Knows the Beginning from the End

Seems such a shame we must grow up. Our childhood days are memories we will have forever. God placed us in the loving care of parents or sometimes grandparents, but nevertheless, someone always cared for us. Once Karen and I were reflecting on our past and she said, “Sandy, do you think God placed you […]

A Merry Heart Is Medicine

 
Would someone please define “workplace?” A place where we work, right? Well, sort of. But a workplace is a place not only where we work, it is a learning environment for life. It makes up a big portion of our lives.

I’m about 8 months pregnant and big as a barn. A lady came in […]

From the Chicken House to the Lord’s House

 
All of us have a heritage. We inherit our family’s DNA and medical history. We can attribute our looks, personality and certain abilities to our generations before us. Even our outlook on life has been greatly influenced by what our families taught us. They taught it and we caught it.
My family played musical instruments and sang […]

Praying For Who Knows What

It was in the middle of summer, probably around July, 2000. I was in my prayer chair, my favorite place. Truly the highlight of my day is in the mornings when I get to pray and fellowship with my Master. Jesus has been so very good to me and certainly does stick closer than a […]
