Have you ever noticed that when troubles come our way, we succumb to them? We feel depressed or under the weather. We feel alone, and we separate ourselves from friends and people who care about us. Some of you who have gone through the stresses of life, even go a little further and find yourselves in serious situations and you can't seem to dig yourselves from the pit you are …

Do not give up
How are you holding up? The storm is over, but traces of the storm lie dormant waiting for the rain or the sun to melt them away. We can't give up although we are experiencing just a shadow of spring. Life goes on regardless of our disappointments, our grief, our setbacks, our shattered hopes and dreams. We live life with one thing in mind. We will run this race looking to …

Turn Your Bad Days Into Good Days
On Wednesday, October 29, 2014, I listened to an interview on Trinity Broadcasting Network, between Matthew Crouch and Julia Immonen. Julia was born in Finland and is presently a News Anchor at Sky News in London. Growing up, she had bad days. Conflicts between her mother and father created confusion for Julia. At church, her parents would behave differently to make others …
My Makeover
Many of you think that my makeover is a result of a new hairdo, change in hair color, weight-loss, new dress code or new makeup. It doesn't include any of the above. Rather, I am giving my kitchen a makeover without remodeling the entire kitchen. Because I cook constantly, I decided that I needed a granite countertop that will last longer and at the same time, give my …
What’s Going On?
What's going on? This is a question that I ask my five month old grandson Matthew every time I see him. During the day, I would ask him again: “What’s going on? What’s going on?” Matthew loves this question because it demands an answer. His answer is giving me the biggest smile that you can ever imagine. Yes, I can see the gums. That’s how wide the smile is. …
Family Matters
Have you considered what matters to you the most? Over the years, I have taken an inventory of my life and I have decided that in the midst of all that I do, family matters the most to me. The ministry to which God has called me expresses my family life experiences. I related in my blog post of August 28, 2014, how our daughter Jo-an, became mentally ill in 1996 and how I …
Adversity Breaks You, Heals You, and Creates a New Person within You

I have chosen the market basket issue, my story and a story of Austin Hatch to show you that even in adversity, you can have positive outcomes. The Market Basket issue has been a hot topic in the news. The Market Basket began as a mom and pop store in Lowell, Massachusetts, owned by …

Your Last Chance
The words “last chance” rings in our ears as we hear about a daughter or son’s last chance with a father or mother and what he or she said to that child before passing on. Your last chance is being the final pick as a baseball, basketball or football player. Your last chance is to enroll at a college of your choice. Your last chance is to perform in an audition before …
Love Life Regardless of What It Brings
One can define life as the time between a person’s birth and his/her completion of life, the way that a person lives, the events that occur in his/her life or his/her state of being alive. I regard life as a journey because of its ups and downs and its similarities to a real journey. A real journey begins and ends. It starts with a thought such as a person's desire to visit a …
Matthew at Five Weeks
My grand-son Matthew is now five weeks old. He weighed 7lbs, 9oz at two weeks and 9lbs,15oz at 4 weeks. He is holding up his head even at five weeks. Matthew sleeps for three hours during the day and at night. While he is sleeping, he makes various sounds and moves his hands and feet. My daughter Monique worried about that, but I reminded her that he is only a baby getting used …
