Have you wrapped everything yet? Need some gift tags for a little extra flare? I love DIY crafting at home and I love it when I have time to sit and create something out of nothing. But I, like you, don’t always have that fleeting luxury of time to sit! That’s why I get so … [Read more…]
Listen – a verb. Give one’s attention to a sound. How many of you are driving around town with the same Christmas Carols playing over and over again? I know I am and I recently realized I was hearing them but I wasn’t listening to them. The song “Mary did you know?” came on – … [Read more…]
One of my favorite Christmas songs is “Let There Be Light” by Point of Grace. What a beautiful analogy to liken Jesus’ coming as the Light of the world with God’s initial creation of light–I just love that! Especially during the holidays, light takes center stage—the star over Bethlehem, the twinkling lights on Christmas trees … [Read more…]
Not Yet and Wait! “Not yet” (John 6:17) “Not yet Nanna” and “wait!” These are words that our two-year old grandson, Jaden, has learned to say. I’m sure because he has heard them spoken to him multiple times in his little life… he now practices them on others. God’s word teaches us to “Be instant … [Read more…]
Christmas simplified once and for all…forever and ever amen! Every year right about this time I say to myself…THIS year is going to be different! We’re not going to get swept up into the Christmas tornado of running too much, spending too much, wanting too much, and forgetting too much. We’re not going to miss … [Read more…]

This post is for those of you waiting on a husband. This is for those who feel lonely, alone, unwanted & confused over your singleness. You. Are. Not. Alone. On November 17th, I committed before God and an audience of about 400 to give my life to Gregory Loius Saffles. Needless to say, at that … [Read more…]
I am a member of Long Hollow Springfield – a satellite campus located in Springfield, Tennessee. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the whole process from the beginning. I attended meetings when it was just a dream and have gotten to watch the dream become a reality. Through it all, being located … [Read more…]
It has been so fun to watch my partner in ministry, Gretch-e-j as I like to call her (which is her old Twitter name) being pursued and caught by the love of her life, Greg Saffles! They recently were married in a beautiful, God-glorifying wedding ceremony. Once Gretch finally gave in and admitted she kind … [Read more…]
Sometimes, when I am going through a particularly rough time, I find myself less and less committed to spiritual disciplines. My quiet times diminish, my prayer life becomes rushed and shallow, and I fill free time with mindless distractions, instead of more time with the Lord. It is usually when I am tired; bone tired … [Read more…]
