Good morning... There are a variety of ways to impact the world. Music is one of them. Last weekend I was introduced to a music video created by Playing For Change. Researching a bit, I discovered this quote: "Playing For Change is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief [...]

(Agape Youth and Family Center supports and empowers both senior citizens and school age kids from underserved families in our community.) "They wished aloud for as many as 226 pieces of Mother's Day jewelry before April 23rd! (200 kids and 26 [...]
Good morning... You may remember this cool painting from last month's post entitled Steve's Birthday Surprise. On a whim, to benefit Blue Skies Ministries, I bought a fun mixed-media painting by Christy Holmes at my friend's pop-up Christmas shop, a surprise birthday purchase for my husband to honor Steve's call from God twenty-six years ago to minister to [...]

Creative forces help us, let's think outside the box and use innovation to keep our connection and make it work together. Because if we do it together, we will succeed." This energizing endeavor [...]
Good morning... I feel like I just birthed a 12 pound baby. Naturally. After three full day of hard, hard labor. Our baby was conceived by God a long while back, but this was the weekend her due date graced my calendar. Sunday was my well anticipated time to deliver.

Good morning... Our writers' group of ten women has been meeting most months for over ten years. So when one writer challenged us last week with the quandary of a quote, a variety of comments came cascading down. You will remember the initial words from our recent post Drill Deep.
