May We Awaken From Our Slumber
Something is on the horizon. We can all feel it. It’s urgent that we wake up from our slumber. Are our lamps filled with oil? Are we prepared? How can we prepare? How do we fill our lamps? Prayer is still one important answer. Prayer used to be a daily thing for the majority of…

Give Me Strength
My dad had a heart attack this morning. Just 5 days ago we were all together singing karaoke, fixing air conditioners, working on computers, and cutting trees. He and my mom just endured an ice storm that knocked their power out for 3 weeks. They were recovering. They were fixing things and cleaning up the…

Missing Peace On Earth
Today is March 18, 2026. It’s been an interesting 6 years since 2020. It’s been interesting to notice changes in people, customer service, and society as a whole.

Walking With the Spirit So We Aren’t Tempted By the Flesh – The Mark of the Beast
About 15 years ago, one of our sweet customers always greeted us the same way. We would say, “Good morning, Art. How are you today?” He would often answer by saying, “I’m walking with the Spirit, so I’m not tempted by the flesh.” We loved that response. We still quote it to this day. Those…

Toxic People
The other day, a toxic person entered my daughter’s life. I’ve learned to spot a narcissistic type person, right away. There’s good people and there’s toxic ones. I don’t know. Maybe we are all both. The difference is, some of us focus on and practice at being good. We hold ourselves accountable and want to…

Life Review
Have you ever heard someone say they died and had an experience and then came back? They are called NDE’s or Near-Death Experiencers. A lot of them say that while they are on the other side, they experience something called a “life review.” During this review of their lives, they get to see some of…
