Jehovah has Given – 6 years today, since Tornado No
The song is Kolby singing and he wrote this for me. The house with only a closet standing is ours. The others are neighbors. I talk about this below. Jehovah has Given – 6 years today, since Tornado No. 5 On this 6th year anniversary, of that 800 yard wide, 150 mph, monster that plowed through […]
That Moment Changed My Life
My manager at the funeral home suggested I get my funeral director’s license. Nah. He kept saying I was good with the grieving families. I had been serving in ministry for years, but mostly children, youth and seniors. Grief. Hmmmm……Hospice nurse he suggested. That moment changed my life. I enrolled in school with […]
I’m Held by You
I have loved this song for some time, but it hit me the other day in a powerful way. Music is one of the highest forms of prayer. Praise connects us to the Holy Spirit, lifts our hearts, helps us forget – if even for a moment- our problems, reminds us He is here, He […]

Whitney, As your fellow tornadian neighbor, I must say something. As early as one week after the tornado someone said to me, “you are still talking about that?” Yes, we are still talking about it because we still feel it! People must feel what they feel when they feel it, and for as long as […]
stillness and praise
My pastor, Dr. Jim Barnette at Brookwood Baptist Church, is preaching a sermon on being still in the presence of God. It reminded me of that night when we had no option but to be still and wait on God – Oct. 26, 2016 “Be still and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10 To […]
little rocker and tiny shoes
There are moments when the loss of something strikes and a sense of sadness overwhelms us. Today it was the memory of sitting in my little rocking chair, rocking my baby dolls. I dreamed of growing up to be a mommy, and practiced for many years with the dolls. In the past couple of years, […]
