A Post- Roe v. Wade Era, What Moms Need to do Next!
Mammas, Don’t shy away from the depth of yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling. I’ve already been told that “it’s disgusting that you support women’s right being taken away”. Mamas, this is when you stand even closer to what is truth. I owe an answer to God for my stance on this. If I don’t speak…

The Lunch From Mom, Thursday Thoughts
In the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000, (John 6) the fish and bread that boy had was most likely prepared but his mom. Without his mom taking care of him he wouldn’t have it to share and the miracle be fulfilled. Wow! What a concept this is! Our value as moms goes way…
