Collierville Christmas Angel
I had the privilege of staying at the Hampton Inn in Collierville, TN in December of 2009. The hotel was clean and had a comfortable bed. Nothing special but no complaints. The privilege was a certain employee at the hotel. Throughout the week-end I heard her greet people and wish others a great day. You […]
Which will you choose?
How funny that we are so concerned about our successes and gains in this life. Leaving a legacy here on Earth. This life lasts less than 100 years when the “after life” is for eternity. So, truly this is not life at all. Life is what we call death. This is a mere blink. A […]
breathing
I catch myself not breathing. I hold my breath. I have fought against breathing since I was born. Eleven minutes without a breath. For most, it is their nature to breath. Someone had to breathe for me. Someone still does. kim crawford

Remember
Do I ever go to Nineveh when I am told? Will I always go through the belly of the whale on my way? Why do I think I know what is better for me? Better than what God has planned. The path that is straight and narrow is not as difficult. As rocky. As frightening. […]

Strategy of God
God strategically places people just where I need them, exactly where we are needed. He placed a wealth of knowledge, and heart for God, in a tiny woman with crippling arthritis. She inspired me to go to school. He placed eyes that no longer see, yet always see the good, in a bubbly redhead. She […]
