Hmmmmm....while watching discovery channel, I saw a special on snakes. Hear me out. The premise was deadly snakes and how they strike.



There is a "striking distance" and it was different for each variety, but they had one nonetheless.



What struck me as very fascinating is the King Cobra. This one has a 7 foot striking distance.



It seems that they have a way of when they sense danger , or sudden movement that they “stand” up and display their hood. The back of…

Matt. 15:26 - But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.



Hello my Sistah's! I've not been writing a few days, you know...LIFE! This last two weeks has been fun and frustrating all at the same time. My Darling husband said I was needing to relax a minute and decided (without my knowlege or consent) to take me to get a massage. And planned my Friday and Saturday for me....



I love this Dude with all my heart, He takes GOOD…

Gal. 3:28 - There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.



I was looking at the pictures from Aunt Flora's funeral. As I looked at these pictures, I saw people that I see all the time, though I only see them every once in a while.



I know that sounds crazy, but hear me out. People are pretty much the same wherever you go.....The dialect, the accent, the food, the outfits may be…

Luke 24:10 - It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James,

and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.



What did they tell them? These women went to the tomb of Jesus to anoint His

body, and when they got there the stone had been rolled away, and they were

greeted by two men in shining clothes!



They were told that Jesus wasn’t in the tomb, they had already went in and saw

that for themselves! They…

Romans 16:3 - [ Greeting Roman Saints ] Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers (companion, helper, laborer) in Christ Jesus,~~~Paul Speaking.



It wasn't long ago that my darling husband (dh) and I was directed to found a ministry that God had birthed in us back in 2007.



We had to wait until the conditions were right and God's Kairos = (Greek for time) was full, that the ministry went to a more hands on level. We started nursing home visits together, then we started…

Luke 21: 2 - And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.



OK, so now you know that I LOVE women, hey, I am one myself! ;)



I read this passage and it blessed me so. I thought about some of the women that I have known that had to give their husbands up in death. They didn't

just fall away, they didn't just give up.



Strong women that had lives of their own, and didn't vicariously live through their husband or children.



Sometimes…

Luke 24: 10 - It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.



What things? Well let's rewind a bit and see. Jesus has been crucified, he's been buried behind the gigantic stone...(they were trying to keep Jesus in, which also means they were trying to keep others out..)



These ladies have gone to anoint His body with the…

I Kings 3:16 - Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.



I'm amazed sometimes of how little regard that some Christian's hold for women. God is so merciful, that during the early days, he even cared for ...... harlots, prostitutes, women of the night, ho's , skeezer's.....whatever you wanna call it.



Here are two women, the last two that I would have expected to see in the presence of the King. But here they stand, making their cases… Continue

‎1 Timothy 5:2- The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.



I love this! We are family! Paul told Timothy to treat the mature women as mothers! That's a place of respect. This is the church, why in the world would we want to do that? Because God is the Father and He loves family!



Paul teaches Timothy that in the kindgom that there is a place for everyone. Paul commended the teaching that came from Lois, Timothy's mother and Eunice his grandmother.…

"If you've never taken the time to get to know me, I would advise you stop judging me." ~~ Chelsea Johnson



Wow. I asked permission from this young lady to use her status from today. It sparked something in me.



Listen ladies, if you dont' know someone, or their circumstance, how in the world can you arbitrarily just say....they just.________. You can fill that blank in for yourself.....



Sometimes, we pass judgement on a person or a situation without EVER having…

Ps 68:11The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers [are] a numerous host.~(Young's Literal Translation) - We are the Women of God! We have His Word! We can run and tell that!



No holds barred. I once said that "I won't be silent anymore"! I was told that because I'm a woman, I'm not supposed to _____ you can fill that blank in.....



We are heirs and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. We want the Word of God to go forth and then we are quiet when we should be speaking… Continue
