Concluding our celebration of Women’s Month, our final quote comes from the most famous woman of all time…Mary the mother of Jesus. This may sound bizarre, but this quote from Mary the mother of Jesus always reminded of a scene in The Godfather Part 3, where Connie, the sister of Michael Corleone, tells her nephew Vincent, “Do it”, referring to… Read More
In the wake of everything going on around us right now, this quote speaks volumes! How many of us are holding on to stuff that in the grand scheme of life, we can’t take with us, and won’t have any value? Closer to home and to our heart is WHO are we holding onto that we don’t want to let… Read More
“These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. – John 16:1 Whatever you do don’t stumble… To stumble means to trip or momentarily lose one’s balance; almost fall. In Greek, it means to trip up. The context in which Jesus was speaking to His disciples was essentially giving them a heads up on… Read More
Philippians 3:8 – Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ. I love the above quote from Christian author, speaker, and radio host, Joni Eareckson Tada. It forces… Read More
This past week, I drove by a cemetery on my way to shop for groceries. The thought came to me as I passed why do we always say rest in peace when someone dies?

Proverbs 15:23 – Everyone enjoys giving great advice. But how delightful it is to say the right thing at the right time! “If I were you….” How many of you have received advice that began with those words? Sometimes the advice given was welcoming and helpful. Other times, it could be off the mark and cause more confusion than… Read More
The Bible speaks a lot about what makes a fool and foolish behavior. We are living in a time where expressing yourself and how you feel trumps (no pun intended) anything else. Today’s Winsome Word of Wisdom Wednesday post is based on Proverbs 18:2. The definition of a fool according to Webster’s Dictionary is a person lacking in judgment or… Read More
Does going to church make you a Christian? What exactly does it mean to be a Christian? Our “Thought For Today” quote reminds me of what Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23 about people coming to Him on the last day saying “Lord, Lord”, and thinking that they’re in good with Jesus. When in fact nothing could be further from the… Read More
Truer words were never spoken! We can’t expect great things to come out of our being “blah”! This quote is a great reminder to us to show enthusiasm whether we’re at work or play. It’s hard sometimes to be enthusiastic when having deadlines at the job or dealing with an overbearing boss. But, Paul told the church in Colossians 3:23… Read More
Every Wednesday will feature an inspiring lighthearted quote, thought, or scripture to encourage you the rest of the week. Today, we’re featuring a verse from the Apostle Paul found in Colossians 4:6. It can be a challenge to many of us, like myself to watch what we say.
