Easter pic & a $0.99 deal TODAY

April 7, 2026 By Tamera Alexander 3 Comments

Hey friends, I hope you all had wonderful times with family and friends this past weekend—hiding and hunting eggs and eating yummy food. But most of all, I pray you were able to gather with a local body of Christ and celebrate all that Jesus has done for us. ❤️ The grands are growing WAY too quickly for me, but I'm treasuring every minute.

March’s Miracles

April 1, 2026 By D'Ann Mateer 16 Comments

I honestly never expected a woman sitting on a whiskey barrel, but I LOVE it! Is the name Jack Daniel familiar? What about Miss Mary Bobo. . . and what she owned? How about the town of Lynchburg tucked into … [Read more...]

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.
