as the old song goes...

"Sisters. Sisters. There were never such devoted sisters....
Caring, sharing, every little thing that we are wearing...
All kinds of weather, we stick together the same in the rain or sun
[Three] different faces but in tight places we think and we act as one.
Those who've seen us know that not a thing could come between us...
Lord, help the mister who comes between me and my sister
and Lord, help the sister who comes between me and my man!"



I've truly been blessed with the best sisters any girl could ever ask for. No matter what we're doing we always find a way to have fun. Love you girls!

a child's faith


How encouraging and yet convicting it is to hear a CHILD pray! No matter how small and insignificant it may seem to us, a child will pray about anything from his neighbor's dog being nice to asking protection for all the soldiers fighting overseas. They just open up and talk to God believing that He cares for each and every one of their needs/wants. Oh that more people could stop trying to fix things for themselves and turn in childlike faith to the only ONE WHO can help...Jesus Christ. Jesus said we must become "as a little child". Let's follow their example! Isaiah 11:6b "...and a little child shall lead them."

Congratulations to Nathan & Angel!!!

Baby Will was born Friday, July 3, 2009. He was 3 weeks early but praise the LORD everything went OK. He weighed 6lbs 14oz. Please pray for him as the doctors found a small heart murmur. Please pray for Nathan and Angel as they raise four kids. And pray for the kids as they adjust to having a new baby brother.
