I’ve been in the thick of it lately. Like that old saying, “when it rains, it pours”, it’s been pouring on me lately. Fort Hood, my place, my city, my neighborhood, was thrown into a whirlwind of tragedy and mourning on November 5th. My husband left for a year in Iraq on November 13th. My [...]

Precious PWOC Women,
What an amazing holiday season I have been celebrating with my family and friends this year.  This has been a season filled with a flurry of activities, even snow flurries (and blizzards).  To my amazement, I even got out a few Christmas cards. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to my whole list because of [...]

As I reflect on this special day, I think about how the birth of Jesus Christ set into motion a beautiful and divine, majestic plan of His kingdom reign, which knows no end.

and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding [...]

In a season where cute pumpkins and happy hayrides sometimes get overshadowed by death, gore, and fear, God gives [...]

      Recompense to His enemies;
      The coastlands He will fully repay.
      So shall they fear
      The name of the LORD from the [...]
