A $20 bill straight from heaven

February 17, 2026 By Tamera Alexander

Have you ever had one of those moments when the veil between this world and the next seems to lift ever so slightly, and you feel a "hug" from the other side?  What I'm about to tell you actually happened to me 12 years ago, but I was reminded of it last night during BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) when we were sharing our answers to a question in our study in Zechariah.

Dates to Celebrate

February 6, 2026 By Robin Lee Hatcher

This February has a couple of important dates for me. So naturally I want to share them with my friends on Inspired by Life and Fiction.

December 19, 2025 By Robin Lee Hatcher

God was preparing me but I didn’t know it. It seemed more past tense than future tense. It turned out, God meant to redeem some ashes in my life, turning them to beauty (Is 61:3).

A Wiggy Christmas

December 17, 2025 By D'Ann Mateer

Our Community Group from church decided to forgo the traditional White Elephant gift exchange this year and make way for . . . wigs!  Yep, we had a wig exchange. The rules? Whatever wig you opened, you had to wear the rest of the party! There is such a wide range of cheap, funny wigs on Amazon—and we had no two alike. We had everything from dreadlocks to K-pop stars to 18th-century-style … [Read more...]
