God’s Provision for our Healing
When God created this earth, I believe that He made it sustainable. Not only the trees, seas, and animals, but the plants He created are made for our healing. I also believe that modern pharmaceuticals help one symptom, but create more with their side effects. There are medical conditions that must have modern medicine; and…
My Sister
My sister, Deedee, turns 59 tomorrow. She and I had a rocky relationship growing up. She was definitely the bossy big sister. She was tough as nails and had the strength of a woman from the Amazon jungle. We fought all the time. We took a trip to Atlanta from our hometown of Crossett, Arkansas,…
A Journey of Faith and Healing

EMF or Nature?
If you know me, you know I love the beauty of God’s creation. Sunrises, sunsets, moonlight, sunlight. Rainbows are the ultimate. I love clouds..not the man-made…and seeing the moon during the day just tickles me! I do know that waves of energy from radios, televisions, microwaves, computers, wi-fi, and the phones we hold close to…

The Power of God’s Word and Prayer
