Counter-Cultural: In response to the NYTimes article: “Griner Says She is Part of a Mission to Help All Live in Truth”
My heart is heavy today as I write this. This is a very controversial issue, but I feel very led to write about it today. This morning, I read a New York Times article entitled: “Brittney Griner, Proudly Part of a Mission to Help Others Live in Truth.” The article is sprinkled with phrasing that [...]
Common-sense vs. Uncommon-sense
This morning, I had the privilege of going home to the church I grew up in – First Baptist Dallas. Dr. Jeffress’s sermon was over the “art of living well.” He taught that wisdom is the key to unlocking the door to God’s best for your life. He taught from Proverbs 2… “My child, listen to [...]
Meaningless?
Tonight I’m working on the Bible Study that I’m writing entitled “From Empty to Full.” The whole purpose of this study is to unveil the secret of meaning and satisfaction that only Christ can bring. Without Him, everything truly is meaningless. Ecclesiastes 1:1-4 says, “These are the words of the Teacher, King David’s son, who [...]
Rooted or Tumbling-Over?
The other night some heavy winds came through our neighborhood, and one of our little, new trees we planted just couldn’t handle the pressure!!

My #TweetAtTrishTime Girls

Does Reputation Matter?
The Lord has brought the topic of a good reputation to my mind today. Are we to live focused on what other people think about us? Should the world’s opinions be our motivation? Of course not. But, does a good reputation matter? I would like to passionately proclaim, “YES!” As believers, our testimonies, our lives, [...]
