Nine years ago I added a little background check online (here on my website, to be precise) about a woman who played a somewhat important role in my life. My mom. And when I say “background check online,” it’s just a figure of speech. Because of course, I’d never do a background check, on my mom, online or anywhere else. … The rest of the story…

This will be the third year I’ve shared the Doris story. And it probably won’t mean anything to anyone who didn’t know her. But to those who knew her, were related to her, and even worked with her, it might make you smile a sad smile. It was a cold day in January of 1938. In rural Oklahoma.

For the past several years I … The rest of the story…
Mother’s Day 2019 Each year I share a list of things moms do to earn their adulation on their special day. Mother’s Day 2019 is no different…except you can also hear the audio version of this on my The Power of God’s Love Podcast. Otherwise, thanks again Mom. And thanks again moms. To all of you ladies who “took one … The rest of the story…
To all of you ladies who “took one for the team” as you… Withstood the months of pregnancy Withstood the pains of childbirth Fed your babies when they cried at 3 a.m. Fixed “boo boos” Kissed away pain Hugged away frowns Cooked breakfasts, made lunches, and prepared dinners Washed clothes even after laundry was all done Taught truth, hope, and … The rest of the story…
