PRAISE PROMPT ••• This weekend, my dear friend Amy was in town with her children. They live in Indiana, but North Carolina is still home for her. I visited with them on Saturday and was shocked by her youngest. I’m used to the members of this family towering over me. All of them are pushing 6’ and I’m only 5’4”. But this was the first … Continue reading 3.12.18 Praise Prompt: Spiritual Growth
PRAISE PROMPT ••• My birthday was in December, but I just ordered my birthday present a couple of weeks ago – AncestryDNA kits for me, my husband, son, and mom! I’m so excited to get the results and find out how they match up with my genealogy research. It’s a fascinating exercise – to learn where you come from.

For me, it was a ten-minute article that highlighted people who went to exceptional lengths to impress others, only to be caught in … Continue reading 2.13.18 Prayer Prompt: Pride and Insecurity
PRAYER PROMPT ••• I have always loved the movies. My favorites are the classics from the 30s and 40s. The Golden Era. I don’t watch as many movies that come out today, but I think the production process is fascinating. We’re in “Awards Season” for the Hollywood elite (there are 13 award banquets scheduled in January and February alone).

PRAYER PROMPT ••• New Year is such a time of renewal. New year, new possibilities. It’s a time of hope and fresh starts, but (spoiler alert!) you’re still the same person you were on December 31st.
