On January 28, 1986, the entire Nation watched in shocked disbelief when just 73 seconds after liftoff, the space shuttle Challenger exploded. The disaster claimed the lives of all seven astronauts aboard, including Christa McAuliffe, a teacher from New Hampshire who would have been the first civilian in space. She was going to work on […]

May The Good Lord Take A Liking To You
Wouldn’t it be great to still have this kind of show on television? Prime time? My goodness. If a show were created that had sincere praying and acknowledgment of God, there would be groups rioting in the streets. And that, my friends, is a sad commentary. I am so grateful that I was exposed to […]
Two Things Define You
Most all of us have been in a place in our life where we thought we had nothing. We did, of course, have something, but we just didn’t have what we wanted. And no matter how hard we worked, no matter what we did, we just couldn’t get to the place where we weren’t living […]
Never Lose Hope
It ain’t over until God says it’s over. No matter how many times you get knocked down, no matter how many times someone tells you that it’s over, no matter how hard it is to keep going, it ain’t over until God says it’s over. Never lose hope. Just when you think it’s over, God […]
No Matter What You Do
You have to live your life for yourself. You can’t let anyone else’s opinion change who you are or what you do. Once you start changing who you are to please someone else, you can become stressed, less confident, less self-assured and depressed. No matter what you do, someone will talk about you. Someone will […]
What’s Done Is Done
You may think that you didn’t get enough done today. You did. Tonight, don’t worry over what you think you’ve left undone. Worrying isn’t going to help anything. Worrying isn’t going to make more “stuff” get done. What’s done is done. Day is over, night has come. Today is gone, what’s done is done. Embrace […]
What Goes Around, Comes Around
It’s true. You get what you give. Sometimes what we want so, so much is something we are not giving. And because we don’t give it, we never receive it. What do you think other people see when they look at you or what do you think they feel “comes from you” once they’ve been […]
I’m Human
I have really high days. These days are like I am flying. Everything goes great. Everything is well with all my family, friends and animals and everything is well with my work. And then there are days that I “fall”. These are days when I have something bothering me. Something may be wrong in my […]
I Want A Happy Life
As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned to recognize stress “triggers” for me. People who are always creating drama or who are involved in conflict will bring stress into my life if I allow it. I’ve learned over the years to make sure that I steer clear of the drama and conflict folks. I don’t want […]
Distance Yourself
We’re almost three weeks into 2018 and I’m still doing a little winter cleaning. I want to make sure that all my relationships are healthy and good for me. I don’t want any kind of relationships that are not healthy and positive. And I don’t mean just a little healthy and positive. I want all […]
