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.

Life is short and it’s time for you to have joy for your journey.

People ask me why I love teaching, speaking and ministering  in jails. I always say, “But for the grace of God, there go I!” After all, my parents let me spend time in jail in Mexico when I was only 16!

I have always loved to celebrate special days in BIG ways. When we went to the beach for my birthday, I don’t care how old I am, I want to swim…and get caught up in the waves, and tumble and gasp for air!

Most of us can remember a crabby old person we knew when we were children. And hopefully we all had a really precious old person in our life as well! Which will you be one day – or are you there already?

Some of my Midwest slang doesn’t coincide with my husband’s Alabama roots and vice versa. And the Northeast verbiage can sound like a foreign language to me! So when did I learn “Christianese” and use it with my friends who didn’t understand.

Not many have the privilege and honor of living to be 100. My sweet mother “Bootsie” was born in 1925 when Calvin Coolidge was president, lived through the depression, WWII, and so much more.
