January 17, 2020 I almost fell for the trap. You gals know what I’m talking about, the new look that’s popular today—false eyelashes. My friend sat across the table from me. Her cosmetic bag jammed with make-up items. “You have to put them on,” she said. “You’ll see how different you look. It’s easy and …
January 3, 2020 This isn’t the first time someone has asked me this question. When I write about the power of God’s miracles. When I speak on the faith we must have in His miraculous healing, why then do I still have no sight? The question seems logical and obvious. My answer: God has healed …
December 20, 2019 Whoever said life is not easy was wrong, totally wrong. Life is sometimes extremely hard, painful, and impossible to endure. And we mistakenly look for this time of year to change that. Christmas was meant to be the most wonderful time of the year. If that’s so, why is the suicide rate …
December 6, 2019 Could someone forget their disabilities or limitations? I did. After living without sight for decades, I often forget I can’t see. And dismissing that very thing, sometimes I rush to get ready to go out. I admit it, I’m a wait-to-the-last-minute kind of gal. I rush around like a crazy woman. I …
November 29, 2019 It was a long flight, but the chat with the passenger seated to my right made the journey interesting. The conversation began with superficial comments, then it got a bit serious when we discussed religions. She asked me about mine and I answered. “I’m a Christian.” “I believe all religions have something …
November 22, 2019 We in Florida as other states on the East coast are breathing relief, we’re at the end of hurricane season. No more spending hours monitoring the weather channel. No more dashing to get the last bottled water at the local store. And no more comments like this one: “I don’t know about …
November 15, 2019 “C’mon, girlfriend, we’re going to the mall.” “Whoo hoo!” I hung up the phone with a huge smile. Any chance to hit stores and come home with bargains stirred girlish excitement. Since I lost my eyesight, these trips gave me a chance to get out, catch up, laugh and come home with …
November 8, 2019 Road rage is on the rise. It’s heating up. And it’s fanning the flame of stress. Even when car keys are put away, the tension remains. This might be the reason. Studies show that irate drivers have a reason for that behavior. It has nothing to do with the highway, but everything …
November 1, 2019 Did anyone tell you there’s no right or wrong way to pray? They’re correct. But there is a wrong sense of conviction as we pray. When we ask God for blessings, we often use a mousy attitude. We request limited blessings. And imagine only what our human mind can hold. But when we …
October 25, 2019 My granddaughter blew her birthday candles out on her 12th birthday. It seems like only yesterday when fear attacked me. At three months, she was hospitalized for ailments that puzzled doctors. They ordered tests and more tests, but no answers. We paced back and forth from worry, then prayer, then back to …
