There’s not too much I love more than sitting around my kitchen table with my elderly friends and family listening to them recount “the glory days.” They swap story after story about events, places and people. Some sad. Some funny. I could listen to those stories over and over again (and I do) for hours. That’s fine with me. They are just as much a joy to hear the thirtieth time as they were the first. That good ol’ down-home feeling is what I experienced recently when I had the pleasure of reading Singing Ain’t Enough: The Inspiring Story of Maggie Ingram by Joy Harris.Read More →
“Carla Pollard spoke to a group of 150 women for a Mother’s Tea at Guardian Christian Academy in May. Her topic, “Sweet as Honey”, went straight to the heart of the women present. Mrs. Pollard shared how life-giving constructive words can be; they provide inspiration, encouragement, and, to our children, the belief in themselves to be what God has design them to be. She was able to relay nuggets of truth that spoke to women regardless of the depth of their relationship with the Lord. Mrs. Pollard left the women with words of wisdom, biblical truths to reflect upon, and many points for personal application.” Read More →

Kelly Stanley’s casual and fascinating style opens her reader’s eyes to new ways of connecting with God through prayer.

Then, each day of that week Kelly shares ways to overcome or prevail in the situation.Read More →
