Learning how to determine the “enough” factor in life is a real challenge, isn’t it? There is such a fine line between what we think we need and what we really want! We sing the song bearing the words “Count Your Blessings” often in our worship services and if you’re like me, you end up […]
I’ve never experienced the trauma of a heart attack! I’ve experienced the chest pains that would seem to indicate one, but with further tests it was determined to be the result of stress.

Freedom we all hold dear now is at stake.” You’ll probably recognize these […]
“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad” (Psalm 118:24 NKJV). Driving a vehicle in traffic can be absolutely terrifying, can’t it? It doesn’t matter whether the speed limit is 40, 60, or even 85 as it is on some stretches of the open highway in west Texas! People […]
