We had our first argument last night, and he said a lot of cruel things that really hurt me. I know he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said, because he sent me flowers today. I got flowers today.

It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day.

I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over. I know he must be sorry cause he sent me flowers… Continue

In September 1960, I woke up one morning with six hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket.

Their father was gone.

The boys ranged from three months to seven years;

their sister was two.



Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they feared.



Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would scramble to hide under their beds.



He did manage to leave $15 a week to buy groceries.



Now that he had decided to… Continue

First Grade Logic



A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.

It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

What's Up With Her?







There comes a time in every woman's life when she has to take a close look at herself. Not at her circumstance, not at what she did, not how unfair life is, or not at whom made you do it. She has to just look at herself in all her glory and imperfection.



Have you ever admired a woman who has been through changes in her life? Or have you made up in your mind that she is just messed up. Before you make this mistake, take a closer look. A woman… Continue

Kariema's Daily Thought! Think About It





Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.

Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.

Vineyards That Bear Fruit



John 15:1-16

Jesus the True Vine



“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are… Continue

Seizing the Opportunity Wherever You Are



And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Mark 16:20 (KJV)



God has been so good to you that you shouldn't be a closet Christian. On the contrary, you should preach everywhere that Jesus is Lord. Everybody on the job should know you are saved, because you don't hide your Christianity. You are not afraid to bow your head and pray over your lunch. With… Continue
