True confession.  I cried during “Wonder Woman”. This was strange to me for several reasons.  One is that I typically don’t cry easily at things like movies or TV shows (although this has changed more recently.  I blame menopause and watching “This is Us” last...

If you follow sports at all and especially college basketball, you have most likely heard about Luke Maye this week.  He made the winning shot in the UNC vs. UK game on Sunday, sending Carolina to the Final Four with another chance to play for NCAA Championship this...

On a recent Friday night, I finally went to see the movie “Hidden Figures”.  If you aren’t familiar with the movie, it’s about three brilliant African-American women who worked as mathematicians at NASA in the 1960’s and were a vital part of helping get John Glenn...

I never spend a lot of money on sunglasses.  The last expensive pair I got was some Ray Ban Aviators in the late ‘80’s that I still have.  Since then it’s been cheap pairs, including several $8 Ray Ban copies I got in China. But, I’ll confess, I like nice things.  I...

A couple of weeks ago, I was convicted by a first century royal official from Capernaum. My pastor is going through the Book of John and that particular week we were in    John 4:43-54 which includes the story of this man.  His son is very sick - at the point of death...

Have you ever thought about what your purpose is as a woman?  Not in your personal role (wife, mother, aunt, sister, daughter, etc.) but as a woman in general.  When God created woman, why did He create her and how does that relate to us today? The answer to this...
