Gratitude

Be dazzled by how much God loves you! Be stilled and stand in the glory of God. Remember how our Lord stepped into the pain, the grief, the hard days? He remains with us in the valleys and through the wilderness. We arrive changed on the other side. What was meant to harm us, our…

Jason Cory Newell

My son was a gift from God and I did my best. This written testimony is to honor a dream that woke me up on May 16, 2026. It has been ten years since my son’s death. My comfort is knowing that Jason is now with Jesus. 1 Samuel 1:27-28 “I prayed for this child,…

Feliz Dia de Madre

Mother’s Day in Mexico is celebrated on May 10th each year. On Mother’s day, I thank God for gifting me the privilege of raising my son. Jason loved dogs! His first dog’s name was Cosmo and his last beloved fur pal was a black Lab named Bella. Each year Jason shopped for the perfect sentiment…

Alley Family Roots

A Love Story in the Shadow of the Eifel Mountains, began in the small village of Shuen Ecken. In the heart of post-World War II Europe, an eager 19-year-old boy named Willis Earl Alley was the son of Vernon and Isa Mae. He was the middle child born into a tribe of 12 field workers.…

Good Memories

Today, my son entered this world 54 years ago. April 20, 2016, was Jason’s final day on earth, but his spirit is eternal. I joyfully pause again to remember my son. Eternity is ahead of all of us; and we wisely prepare to reunite with our loved ones. I can only imagine being in the…

Remain in Me

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does NOT dishonor others, it is NOT self-seeking, it is…

Changing Hair

Our hairstyles recycle with iconic memories of our once thick, carefree, swinging strands, blowing in the wind. Dorothy Hamill and Farrah Fawcett were trend setters that even Princess Diana’s royal locks were fashioned after. Have you ever had a Farrah fluff? With Ai you can try on styles without losing a single hair. This current…

Snow Capped

Snow capped by God, we look in the mirror and rejoice in our extended years. Our spirit is timeless, and our wrinkles admit how far we’ve traveled. Beauty is indeed found in the eyes of our Father. He looks upon our hearts, not our dimples or dents. We collect the miles with smiles as He…

Coffee and God

Brew a cup and thank God for the beans. Thank Him for the water, and the flame that makes it boil. Open the Bible and taste and see that our Lord is alive and good. Psalms 3:4 (MSG) With all my might I shout up to God, His answers thunder from the holy mountain. AMEN…
