Shakin' The Salt

Shakin' The Salt

Learn how you can apply God‘s word to change areas in your life, face the unknown trials of each day and be equipped for the great future that God has for you. Debra uses her life examples, sprinkled with humor, of being a high school dropout to PhD to Teacher of the Year and from Hall of Shame to Hall of Fame. Life is short and it’s time for you to have joy for your journey.

Most people are shocked when they hear a professing Christian say that they hate Easter. I used to be shocked as well…until I became one who feels the same! I also used to be a C and E church goer, if that!

It seems ironic that two years ago my husband was healed of prostate cancer, and now my brother Duke was recently also diagnosed with the same. He asked everyone on his nightly Words of Encouragement to please pray.
