Choose Love

Aug 14, 2019

My heart has a hard time understanding hate. I’ve been a victim of hate. I was molested in the fourth grade. When the kids in junior high found out, they REALLY started to bully me. I was hated and rejected for something that I had no control over. I was the...

Has your last nerve been tested, lately? We were already at the airport when I found out that the bag I’d packed 2 weeks ago got left at home. That’s my toothpaste, toothbrush, blow dryer, curling iron, hair products, and all my makeup! GONE! While my emotions were rising up...

Blog

Sometimes when you have a crazy schedule you do what you can to make life work. So, we have Ashtyn home-schooled. I don’t teach her, myself, because I really want her to be smart. (Lol) Mayra, here at the church, does a wonderful job tutoring Ashtyn for us. The other...

When our church was really small, God told us to start another campus in the St. Charles area. So, we began looking at buildings for sale. One, was a run-down old K-mart that needed a TON of work. Another, was a GORGEOUS building in Earth City. It was perfect, but...

Who’s the Boss?

I remember, one day when Austin was in high school. He came in feeling pretty BIG. He was taller than me. He weighed more than me. So he’s like, “Hey mom! I bet I could take you down.” I said, “Can you, now, Son? I want you to remember that...

Recently, MJ and I were walking through the Miami Airport Mall when we noticed that this guy was pacing right along with us. (Uhhh…that’s kind of CREEPY.) Then, he got WAY too close, tried making conversation, and started acting a little inappropriate. We got REALLY nervous because it was obvious...
