Becoming a Woman Who Listens to God – Sharon Jaynes

by

Friend to Friend Fourteen exhausted, sweaty teenage boys plopped down on the bottom step of the gymnasium bleachers—my son being one of them. The assistant Junior Varsity basketball coach paced back and forth, lecturing them on the error of their ways. In the style of Sergeant Carter addressing Gomer Pyle, he yelled, “Who’s talking?” The […]

From the Cradle to the Cross – Gwen Smith

by

The story of Christmas is familiar. Many of us can recite verses and sing choruses that recap the holy day without so much as a second thought. It’s said that familiarity breeds contempt – so I wonder. I wonder and I search my heart. When I sit and search long enough to listen to God’s […]

Always Home for the Holidays – Joanna Teigen

by

As Bing Crosby crooned, “I’ll be home for Christmas,” on the radio, I scowled at the moving boxes cluttering my living room. Well, I won’t be! I thought with an ache in my chest. Our house had sold to buyers who were eager to settle in before the holidays. We faced weeks of living out of […]

Wrapping Up Christmas – Sharon Jaynes

by

Who in the world would wait until Christmas Eve to do their Christmas shopping? I find it hard to believe the statistics that show December 24th is one of the biggest shopping days of the year, so one season I decided to venture out to the stores and see for myself. I usually have my […]

Shame Off You! – by Sharon Jaynes

by

Has anyone ever scolded you with the words, “Shame on you”? If they have…don’t receive it.  I’m here to today to tell you words God wants you to hear: “Shame off you!”  I remember as a little girl, hiding under the covers of my bed, trying to shut out my parents’ yelling and screaming in […]

Remembering…

by

I had the joy of working on the Morning Show in Madison, WI for over 10 years. Eight of those 10 years were with Brian Christopher.  What started out as a normal Tuesday became the most memorable day for both of us – September 11, 2001.   And I remember it well.   Every year […]

There Is No Thief Like Fear

by

Several years ago I got a notice in the mail from the IRS that instantly sent me into a panic!! I was newly divorced and had been trying hard to shore up MY financial history. What the IRS notice told me threatened the plans that have been formulating for months. These had not just been […]

It IS risky! It’s downright dangerous!! – Annie Nance

by

A while back, I was chatting with an unmarried friend about the demise of my first marriage and he commented, “I don’t know how ANYbody can get married! How can you really know someone enough to marry them? It’s just too risky!” Those words tumbled around in my head for days. I came to the […]

When Your Rooster Crows – Sharon Jaynes

by

I sat on my back porch, wrapped in my fuzzy worn robe—the one that’s twenty years old that I just can’t seem to get rid of. The birch trees waved “good morning,” and the newly planted gerbera daisies stretched their faces to the sun…just a bit higher than the day before. Then I heard him. […]

Words That Breathe Life by Sharon Jaynes

by

Have you ever had times when you felt like you just couldn’t breathe? Stress weighs you down and the “to-do list” becomes the “too-much-to-do list.” Sometimes we just need a friend to come and breathe life into us. And one of the ways they do that is with words. When I was in my teens, […]

No Plan B – Sharon Jaynes

by

Have you ever taken a leap of faith and then thought to yourself, If this doesn’t work out, I need to come up with a Plan B? Plan B’s are OK some of the time, but not all of the time. Sometimes when I’m reading the Bible, one little sentence jumps out and grabs me by the […]

What Do You See…? by Sharon Jaynes

by

What Do You See When You Look In The Mirror? What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see yourself as God sees you? I was in the sixth grade when I first ventured into the House of Mirrors at my hometown county fair—a mere 12 years old. My friends and […]
