“Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.” – Matthew 5:37 (ESV) I recently went through a major event in my life, and I was counting on the people who had offered help. But not one of those supposedly well-meaning people followed […]

I am a 66-year-old woman who wants a do-over. Anyone close to my age probably remembers those old Morton salt commercials with the slogan, “When it rains, it pours.” That’s my life. I read a book recently, and the main character’s daughter was a five or six-year-old girl who told […]
Anna Jarvis wasn’t my mom. In fact, I never heard of her until I started writing this story. She was the person who created Mother’s Day over 100 years ago. She started the holiday to honor all the sacrifices mothers make for their children. She was born in 1864 in […]
