Finish Strong

"And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness, and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old." Joshua14:10

Caleb was speaking to Joshua, "Give me this mountain, as the Lord has promised, for I am as strong this day at 85, as at age 40."  And Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to him as an inheritance."  Joshua 14:12-13

To finish strong, it is essential to care for our spiritual, mental, and physical health. I attend water aerobics at the Cantrell Center three times a week and have participated in several of their 5K-fun runs, seeing firsthand how important exercise is for all ages. The Cantrell Center actively fights obesity and supports healthy living.

Maintaining a healthy weight and BMI leads to better health.

If we want to finish strong, let's start now.

Thank you to everyone who reached out with birthday cards, messages, lunches, and thoughtful gifts. I look forward to another year marked by gratitude and the continued goodness in my life. With heartfelt appreciation, I cherish each moment shared and every kindness received. I will always remember the laughter my cousin and I shared over lunch, and the joy of splitting a chocolate molten cake with my family. Your love and support mean more to me than words can exp...

Write to Publish

  "My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the King; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer."  Psalm 45:1 Do you want to be a writer but don't know where to start? I experienced the same feelings when I first started writing. Doors begin to open as I stepped out in faith believing with God all things are possible. Today, I have had hundreds of stories published in magazine articles, devotionals, and books. I can tell you it’s not been an easy journey and, in fact, one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Yet, one of the most fulfilling accomplishments I have ever made. If you’re struggling with doubt or uncertainty, know that you’re not alone. Many successful writers began with little knowledge or experience, but persistence and a willingness to learn made all the difference. The key is to take that first step, trust the Lord to help you, and remain open to growth along the way.
