Hi all! I have missed you all so much. I know I am safe here. This will shock all but one of you I am sure. I had to take three of my four kids and leave my dh. He has been abusing me on and off for years due to many things, but mostly due to his bondage to certain sins and his bi-polar disease wh...

So I just got my results back from my annual physical...they hadn't done a blood test since 1999, so they did one this time and mailed me the results. My triglycerides are high. Yikes. I'm way too young for this! I do, however, have some weight to lose, and diabetes and heart disea...

Hi, All: Where to start.... First, let me say that I was so excited to see a Flylady link on this site. I found Flylady a couple of years ago & this site, well a week ago. Flylady's philosophy is that there are those, like myself, who are perfectionists. This perfectionism rules their life & can lead to a...

Hi, Ladies: I just registered and wanted to say hi. My name is Tracy & my husband is pastor of a small church. We've been there since last August. We've got 3 wonderful children: sons who are 8 & 3 and a daughter 9 mos. As you all know, it's not easy being in the ministry. I hope to learn a lot from you a...

I just read this months letter and agree totally. About the eating right or any other habit you want to create, God told me here while back and it has just stayed with me. "you will not do tomorrow what you are not willing to do today". Today is the only day you are promised and it s the day to be faithful. You w...

Hey ladies, I have to tell you something so funny! This will give you a great laugh, and don't we all need them to keep our sanity? This past week we were at District Council. My husband and I were spending time with two couples who are our friends that pastor a church in Miami. The...

We are praying about a ministry opportunity that may become available. I am nervous as it is a pastoring position. My dh has always been an evangelist but is wanting to atleast try it and see and then he wont have to wonder what if, you know? It is a small work (about 20) and the ministry team that is buying t...

For those of you who are into Christian fiction (and even those who aren't!), I just read a fabulous book last week. It's Francine Rivers' latest, And the Shofar Blew. It tells the story of a pastor and his wife, and is basically a book on how NOT to do ministry... Even though it was fictio...

Hey girls, GOD IS SO GOOD! Many things have happened this week to show me just how much he loves us. He has ways of letting us know just how much he cares. First, we have been dealing with a lot of sickness in our church. The lady I mentioned to you before who has cancer has gotten wor...

That's right...count 'em...15 kids in my kids' church yesterday! And most of them came with their families!! That seems like a small amount to some, but that's the largest number we've had since I've been there. To give you an idea, it jumped from six kids last week to 15 this week!...
