Mark's new diagnosis
(Preview)
Ladies,
My dh was just diagnosed with diabetes. His Mom just died not long ago at 57 from this, so, I am scared for him. He has been put on 8 meds, some to protect his heart and kidneys from further damage. He must quit smoking if he is to survive this. Any ideas for deserts or holiday dishes would be...

18-month average stay for youth pastors!
(Preview)
I'm not speaking this into any of your ministries - if you all have YP's that are a dream, I hope they stay for 20 years or longer!
But as for the one I work with, let's just say I could stand to trade up...
AARGH!!! I love everything about my new church - except him! I'm being graceful, "ris...

Story of God's faithfulness
(Preview)
Since it's Thanksgiving and I'm feeling a bit reflective and thankful, I thought I'd share with you all a story about how God truly cares about even the smallest, most insignificant details of our lives!
From the time I was small, my grandpa was a gardening freak! Until he started getting old...

My Dh wants to know what you think....
(Preview)
Ok ladies. My dh asked me to pose you with this question/opinion poll. He has a pastor friend that has been approached to run for house of representatives back in MS (won't mention party to keep it neutral). He is seriously entertaining it and asked dh what he thought.
What would be your answer if aske...

Appreciate me with broccoli!!!
(Preview)
So, I'm really trying to lose weight...my jeans that I "outgrew" last winter fit me again (okay, so they're still snug - but I can get them zipped and buttoned now!), and I am really pumped to keep going.
Great timing, I know, since the holidays are upon us. And I have about 40-50 families whose k...

Calgon, take me away!
(Preview)
Well, my "difficult" nursery worker quit on me. Or else I let her go. I'm really not sure. She’s all upset – she doesn’t want to “chance” coming in if the air fresheners are going to be in there. I told her, “What I think I’m going to do then is release you for now fro...

I Need to Vent, too
(Preview)
Oh, I am in so much trouble.
You know that I moved from one church (non-pentecostal) to another earlier (A/G) this year. While at the old church (OC) I preached on Sunday nights, did the bulletin, worked in VBS, sang, taught when necessary and my job was "fill in wherever necessary." I l...

Losing Someone
(Preview)
Ladies, would you honestly pray for me? My brother unexpectedly passed away. I don't feel certain of his relationship with Jesus or eternal destiny. My husband and I conducted the funeral. My brother was my kindest family member, age 51, and had a heart attack.&nb...

Should She? Shouldn't She?

Saved single woman mid-30s falls into sexual sin with a man in the church. This man is not strong in the faith...not too serious about Christianity. Could take it or leave it...
She is advised by the pastor to marry him because she has already slept with him and he's basically a "good man." Has a good jo...

Value

We have had people join our ministry and they come with their little ones! And even though we're few...I SEE THE VALUE AND NEED for CPs! Parents can't really participate in the worship and are constantly distracted by their precious little people. LOL! I remember w...

Overprotective Parents
(Preview)
I was talking the other day to a friend of mine who is also a children's pastor, and we got on the topic of parents who won't let their kids go to camp, kids' convention, etc. unless THEY come with them.
I don't understand that. These events are well-structured, usually OVER-chaperoned...

Books and quotes
(Preview)
I have ordered my book Breaking Intimidation! I also ordered another book on discernment. I was captured by the quote, "discernment without love is critical judgement." Oh how well have I been privy to someone's "discernment!"
For every married woman or soon to be married woman I'd recommend For...
