Devotionals
Establishing daily devotionals is a key to growing closer to God and experiencing more victory and peace in your life! Take a few minutes each day to be alone with God and prayerfully read one of these daily "devos".
When Tragedy Strikes
A family loses their beloved patriarch; two weeks later the matriarch follows. A woman in her thirties dies suddenly of a massive heart attack. Innocent people are killed at a well-known marathon. A father incurs a deadly infection after surgery and never leaves the hospital.

Paid in Full
Words can’t express the relief I experienced when I finally received the title in the mail.
Out of necessity and desire, I purchased my first car when I was fourteen. I financed it for four long years which was all my teenage life. When the last few payments were...
Different is Okay
Different is okay now; but it wasn’t always.
Peer pressure is real. The pressures of elementary school seem tame when compared to the present, but they were intense then. A certain brand of tennis shoes, a particular name on my jeans, or letting the lazy students...
Watched by God
Winding the watch strapped around my wrist is a thing of the past. A battery now keeps it ticking for several years with no need for my involvement. Touching it is only necessary twice a year when we enter or exit Daylight Savings Time.

Simple sentences contain a subject and verb and express a complete thought. Compound sentences are made up of two simple...
What’s for Supper?
“What’s for supper?” A question we three brothers often asked Mom, but one we also knew the answer to-“You’ll see when I get it fixed.”
Suppers in the South are delightful, but while sumptuous, a traditional southern United States...
Politically Right, Spiritually Wrong
When we moved to the lower region of South Carolina, it became our best friend. Driving on it was much faster than alternate routes.
Interstate driving has advantages. Multiple lanes allow for a freer flow of traffic. Speed limits are higher, allowing me to arrive at my...
