I have no voice today. Literally. None. I woke up with a cold or allergy-symptom-related sore throat  that I saw coming, but have been in denial since its onset. SO, let the "organ" recital begin! (To the tune of 'Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring') - Sing out loud, cause I sure can't! Vocal chords are tired and silenced Skin is dry and itchy-bad Stomach's bleh, from all the Airborne  Bowels?

One early morning, I was carelessly and speedily driving to my morning shift at WNRK Radio in Delaware. I stopped quickly on the side of the road to pick up the local paper from a coin-operated newspaper "rip-off" box. Pulling over to the opposite side of the road and frivolously jumping out of the van with two quarters in hand, I thought I set the gear shift to "P" for "PARK". But stumbling

The day after Christmas. Always a conflicting clean-up. It's the collusion of the smell of charred lasagna sauce in the oven teaming with the half-burnt Yankee "Balsam & Cedar" aroma, that tells me I'm in the midst of another one of those "smelly" conspiracies. There's another collaboration going on too. My CD player with my favorite instrumental Christmas music (Fourplay "Snowbound") is in

The Dogwood tree is flaming red. The oak trees are shimmering gold. The Bradford Pear trees are an eye-popping burnt orange. The Buttonwood trees are showing off their soft yellow/green hue. The Magnolia tree seems quite content at staying rusty brown....for now. I'm always taken by how October displays change with such colorful diversity and creativity. In life (other than trees), changing times

I love this salutation. It's a quote from Luci Shaw and Madeleine L'Engle's book (1997) pg. 169, "Friends For the Journey". Salutation Framed in light, Mary sings through the doorway. Elizabeth's six month joy jumps, a palpable greeting, a hidden first encounter between son and Son. And my heart turns over when I meet Jesus in you.

(This is the message that I spoke on Wednesday morning at the Branson Gospel Music Revival, Tri-Lakes Center. Of course I shared some comedic moments and a few songs before speaking...)

I'm excited to be going to Malaysia and the Philippines in November 2011 to minister to the awesome women of Redeeming Roses. Redeeming Roses was founded with a purpose of bringing healing and wholeness to women who have suffered abuse and exploitation. The redeeming love of Jesus Christ is the answer.

I didn't exactly use a lot of wisdom back in the 70s. I remember wearing short skirts on church platforms and event stages, then being reprimanded later for my lack of discernment in my choice of attire (or "attire-less"). Today, I wouldn't be caught dead in a short skirt and that's not because I have some sort of clothes-line religion - just that I care NOT to expose my white-pillar dimpled

Not the first time, nor will it be the last – for the Harold Camping contemporaries and their soothe-saying predictions/strange prophesies to make headlines. Think of it this way: Jesus empowered (according to Mark 5) 12 year old girls, crazy people and women with blood issues. (I believe I qualify! HA!)

Many friends I grew up with back in the 70s weren’t “churched.” They weren’t privy to all the religious sounding talk that was so common in my world back then.

Volume 6, Number 2Technology. You got love it, or be left in the dust! Keeping up with buzzwords of high tech terminology, lingo and web jargon is enough to stall any mature brain!

Volume 6, Number 1My husband’s hair is that 50-ish pretty pure white. He started graying prematurely when he was just a teenager in high school. I don’t think about it much (and he says he doesn’t either, unless he looks into a mirror), but when I do think about it, I’m amazed how men look so handsome with graying white hair—much more so than most women. The male skin tone appears to transform to

The argument goes on. Just “when” was Jesus born?? For centuries, there has been this on-going debate. History as we know it, doesn’t pinpoint the exact day of Jesus’ birthday. Spring is most likely, because shepherds were watching their flocks at night and this is when ewes bore their young. Around AD 200, theologians concluded Jesus was born around May 20th. Others have argued for dates in

All shapes, sizes, quality (cheap plastic to pricey cast iron), you name it.

Volume 5, Number 21The Thanksgiving tofu turkey episode of “Everybody Loves Raymond” goes down as one of my favorite TV comedy experiences of all time. Even in syndication, it’s both hilarious and uncomfortable to watch again and again. Seems that Marie (Doris Roberts) and Frank (Peter Boyle) are trying desperately to be healthy, and their recent medical tests prove that some changes in their

Laugh Lines, Volume 5, Number 19Our small town high school football games were always the highlight of the fall. It was a chance for everyone—no matter what age—to come out and support the kids, enjoying both the camaraderie and competition of the surrounding schools. It was also a chance for students, like me at the time, to check out the other guys from neighboring schools. You can imagine my

Volume 5, Number 18A Skin-Deep Celebration! I was in my early thirties when both of my children were born—15 months apart. Three successive pregnancies in four years—our first being an unfortunate miscarriage—had caused me to gain weight and I became super disgusted at myself. But when my 35th birthday arrived, I had lost just about all my baby weight gain. To celebrate the weight loss, new body,

Volume 5, Number 17The clanging crashing sound was deafening. It pierced through our eardrums and settled itself deep into my bone marrow.

On my way out the door to a weekend event, I grabbed a pair of navy blue dress shoes out of my closet and threw them in a tote bag. Later, as I got dressed for the evening, I delayed putting on these navy blue dress shoes, simply because they hurt my feet. I just grabbed the tote bag and wore my comfy shoes instead. Just before I was introduced to speak, I slipped into my navy blue dress shoes.As

Art Linkletter made a fortune interviewing kids and telling their stories. Over the years, I have collected a few of my own. My Annie, as a toddler, went reluctantly into the church nursery. She wouldn’t cry or put up a fuss, but rather she would just leave my arms in a huff. A nursery worker told me about a time when Annie boosted her little body onto a table and announced with effervescence and

A friend of mine has challenged me NOT to read the Bible. This might sound rather radical, harsh and impossible to my "I must read the WORD everyday, in order to get my GOD - fix.." attitude. It has greatly sparked fireworks in me however, to take a few days this week and begin the journey of "recall".

A friend of mine became increasingly annoyed with the vehicle in front of hers at a fast food drive-thru. The occupant apparently was ordering everything on the menu. After several minutes, my friend became irritated. She started talking to herself about this person, waving her arms, honking her horn—the whole works—but to no avail. Finally she realized that she had pulled into a slot adjacent to

As our bodies get older and the great shift of gravity begins its happy dance, it’s easy to become sensitive to some issues pertaining to today’s current clothing and fashion lines.

And what in the world are they thinking?” (I probably just answered my own question; they are

It was an exceptionally long road trip, speaking and singing sixteen times in nineteen days, and I was tiring of putting makeup on again and again. On the next to the last day, I just sloppily threw on the “paint” and headed out the door to the women’s event. Knowing I had three thousand miles behind me with about a thousand driving miles left to go, I'm positive I was looking rather road-worn.

Shirley Ellis, singing the classic 1964 R & B hit, “The Name Game,” had a definite effect on my brain. Sometimes I can’t remember where I put my keys, but I can recite and sing from memory old goofy songs like, “Shirley, Shirley, bo birley, bonana fanna fo firley, fee fi, mo mirley, Shirley!” So in order to remember people’s names, I do just that—make a game of it.

As a radio personality at WNRK Oldies Radio in Delaware, I had numerous on-air bloopers over many years. What a fun thing it would have been if I had ever thought to record each show and edit it for my own hilarious archives!

Some days I wake up to Gino Vannelli singing, "Wheels of Life", or Frank Sinatra buzzin', "My Way", but most days are greeted with dumb little pithy songs like Bugs Bunny's, "Oooohhhh, You Never Know Where You're Goin' 'Til You Get There!"

(This is a brief response entry to the third chapter of John Maxwell's new book, "Everyone Communicates - Few Connect." It sparked an amazing memory for me, and also a realization: I love hands.

Three times now, when I have looked really bad - I run smack dab into someone famous, or at least someone I have had a history with in some way or another! What is the law of averages on that one? Living in Hendersonville and the Nashville area affords great opportunities to "casually" see someone with some sort of notoriety. Most times I don't leave the house without a shower, makeup or at

It's not unusual for me to receive some great encouragement along the way, especially from well-wishers - sitting in the audiences where I am singing or speaking. Occasionally, someone may slip me a note saying, "Read this later. God laid this on my heart." And I always treat these special written gifts with great care and appreciation. Sometimes I've even had someone ask me to read their

God has blessed us with a beautiful home in the Sanders Park lake region of Hendersonville, TN. My prayer has always been, "God, I would love a home one day - where I TOO can bless others with hospitality!" Well, He sure did a phenomenal job. We are a stone's throw from the marinas, boat slips, and hiking and biking trails. I couldn't ask for more! Plus my backyard is ALL pool. So, if and

Annie graduated from North Central University in Minneapolis with a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Business on May 8th! We were so very emotional and proud of her. Not more than two minutes after the ceremony, she got a call from SESAC, the performing rights organization in Nashville - offering her an internship. Amazing timing. God has always seemed to make a way for Annie. Thanks for

Yankees fair well down here in these there parts! As long as you say, "We love it here - and we're so glad we moved!" It's truth though...lots of energy and expectation in this city. Jeff and I are currently living in a furnished apartment in the Bellevue section of Nashville, but will soon move to Hendersonville after June 1st. It's been a whirlwind, needless to say! I've been on the road

We'll be singing at First Assembly of God, 290 Whitehall Road, Elkton, MD, Sunday night March 8th at 6pm. This will be a great time of fun, inspiration and reminiscing about the wonderful memories of living on the east coast for fifty-plus years! Jeff and I are making the move to Nashville! We will STILL be doing concerts around the country, as well as speaking and singing for women's events.

Moving, whether across town or to a totally new location miles away, is always a real test on just how much "stuff" to keep. With every move there is a major detoxification that not only is literal but spiritual. Throwing out old boxes of memorabilia like my father's grade school arithmetic (there's a word for ya!) books, Ampex master tapes of Jeff's recording clients (about 30 years worth!) and

This was a special "Focus Four/Prayer One" program on Cornerstone Television Network, in Pittsburgh. The show aired in early December, 2008. Thanks to Ron and Cathy Hembree and Linda Wilson - for their belief in us over the years.

Don't know quite yet how to process this incredible weekend, but I tell you - it was life changing!!! Three thousand women worshipping together and laughing together and crying together - it was truly amazing. I was so blessed with an incredible band and worship team, under the direction of my wonderful husband, Jeff. Also thanks to Wendi Miller, Jackie Benicky, Faith Lorman, Frank Portaro,

The "Selective Memory Getaway" at Sandy Cove for November was literally a blast! Peggy Dawson's character, "Maybell Jerkwater" had us ALL rolling! "Cousin Candy" was thrilled to be a part of it all (Candy Davison!) You can just tell by her face - isn't she having a time??? The Kitchen Band entertained us all.

What an extraordinary day at the Silver Creek Country Club with the Truth for Women luncheon on Saturday, Nov. 7th, 2008! It was so wonderful to meet new women as well as see so many "old" friends from our many years of travel! I brought my secret weapon (Jeff!) and the ladies adored his piano playing! They always do! But more than that, there was a special anointing in that place that day.

Sandy Cove events are always so much fun! October's Selective Memory Getaway was a great success. This is a chance to get away for a day and a night, to refresh your spirit and enjoy your sisters in Christ. I host these events and always find it quite rewarding.

I loved speaking and singing for the UMC women of South Jersey at the beautiful estate, St. Mary of Providence Center in Elverson, PA. I was raised Protestant and love my roots, but I have such respect and wonder for the sacred space that our Catholic sisters create.

The long awaited follow-up to "The Soulful Garden Album" is here! Jeff and I worked diligently to get this new project, "A Soul That Is Stirring" in the hands of people who are desperately on a God-search, and who aren't content with the "business as usual" attitude! My soul has been stirring for the last several years. I feel God's anointing on me more than ever before and I don't take that

Here's a great shot of all the ladies who attended the Fall Getaway at Potomac Park Camp, Falling Waters, WV! Wow, did we ever have a time! Thanks for allowing me to be "led" by the spirit, as well as "led" by my instincts (you needed to laugh,huh?!). It was a crazy time, but also an anointed time too. We'll talk about this for years to come.

Three amazing things have happened this crazy month of August. For one, Elena Delle Donne, the Delaware basketball standout and number one in the country - ironically called the "LeBron James of women's basketball", has left UConn - and decided to stay home. And it is true - she's going to play volleyball (of all things) for U of DE this freshman year. Says she's burnt out playing basketball.

I should have written about this sooner, but life just grabs the minute hand of the clock and yanks it forward faster and faster, it seems. Well anyway, about two years ago following my mother's death, I had a vivid dream about her in a field of tall green grass. She was wearing pink, her favorite color. I was in the dream too somewhere, wearing yellow. I even saw Annie and she was wearing

We are thankful today - so thankful that our Annie is OK after a serious auto accident on Sunday. She was hit by another car on the passenger side, with an impact so hard it turned her car around the opposite way. The new little Honda Fit sustained a horrific blow and I think I just may write Honda a letter, telling them how great their car is and how it protected Annie from serious injury.

My friend Dawn and I walked the streets of Chicago recently - and she purposely took me to the location of the new Bloomingdales. Now this new Bloomingdales was once the Medinah Temple, a wonderful theatre where I performed with the Sammy Hall Singers way back in 1974.

While visiting the beautiful "True Blue/Caledonia" golf courses in the southern strand of South Carolina, we came upon an alligator, sunning himself! If you notice in the picture, he most arrogantly positioned himself right next to the sign, "Don't feed the alligators."
