The Tomb is Empty Happy Easter! Praise the Lord, the tomb is empty! We have a risen Savior! What on Earth does this mean? It means that this life is not the end. Jesus died on the cross and carried our sins to the grave. They are gone, forgiven! Praise the Lord! Jesus did what we could not do, He was the sacrifice for our sins.

Understanding How to Abide in Christ The Bible traces us to ‘abide in Christ’ "Abide" in the Bible, particularly from the Greek meno, means to remain, stay, or dwell in a permanent, daily fellowship with Jesus Christ. It signifies a firm commitment of faith, requiring followers to connect with Him, obey His commands, and hold fast to His Word, similar to a branch remaining in the vine.

Songs for Recovery: Lyrics from Experience I have recently started writing songs for the recovery community. I have spent over 20 years in 12 step programs. I started in Al-Anon (family/friend of alcoholic), then ACoA (adult child of alcoholic), AA (Alcoholics) and N.A. (Narcotics Anonymous). So yes, I have history. And besides, real life stories are such rich song lyrics! I have a few on SoundCloud if you’d like to listen.

The Power of Testimony: Anthony McCord’s Life-Changing Experience Sometimes God has people in your path that He has destined you to meet. Such is the case with me and Anthony McCord.

Groovy Grandma Gospel I love gospel music, the chords, the harmonies, the beat. So this week I decided to take some of my songs and convert them to Gospel. Here are 18 of my songs in Gospel.

Embracing Church Community for Growth This week I was blessed by two different women in our church. All I did was go and listen. I spent time with them as they shared their lives, hopes, dreams, and how God has made a difference in their lives. I was humbled.
