Happy Mother’s Day to every single Mom out there. For some, this will be a happy day and for others, a very hard day. Whatever type of day it will be for you, we need to remember this: We all in one way or another loved someone who did eventually grow up and leave us. … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS – HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY
I say this, to invite someone, because it is so simple and doesn’t cost much. Your intentional act of reaching out could change someone’s life. I tend to wonder what matters most in GOD’S eyes. Is it the big things we do that everyone notices or is it the small that no one sees? We … More SMALL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INTENTIONAL
GOD really is the only ONE who can save us from ourselves. We might think we can save or do all the right things, check off all the boxes, make religion our priority, but only JESUS saves…….period.

We desire what HE desires. I can see this within myself because what I once desired, now I dislike and could care less … More GOOD DESIRES
I love palm trees. It’s my favorite thing about Arizona. I love how they sway in the wind and the noise you hear when you stand under them. Today is Palm Sunday so may we remember JESUS and HIS triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Praise GOD! The people were waiting for a king to rescue them. … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
