Continue reading →: “OMG”!!!
I put “OMG” in quotes for a reason. I used to say “OMG” or “oh my God” a lot – just as an everyday expression – no thought put into it – just using the term the way so many others do. I would utter it many times a day…

One year ago today, I became a Christian and I still classify myself as a newbie. As I look back on the year, I am filled with wonder and am so thankful. I didn’t grow up in a Christian home – we went to church rarely. I always believed in…

On June 20, six months ago today, my loving, kind, sweet mother passed away. She was in the hospital at the time and was ready to die. I was on the phone with her at 9:07pm PST when she died. I’m fortunate that God adopted me into his family on…
