The Inspirations – “He Brought Me Out” (1993)
“He Brought Me Out” is my favorite recording by the Inspirations during this time period. It’s a fantastic piece of work that harkened back the “glory days” of the group.

The Inspirations – “Jesus is Coming For Me” (1992)
In 1992, the Inspirations released this recording. It’s an obscure recording during a very transitional time in the group, and one that is very hard to find. Nonetheless, it’s a unique piece of their dynamic history.

You Have a Choice
If I have any Calvinist readers, I've already lost them with the title, but too many people blame their behavior on Satan, friends, and sometimes God, while the fact is that people often choose to give in to their flesh instead of taking the way of escape that God...
Use Your Gifts
As I travel the country, I am often the recipient of others' gifts and talents. Whether it is music, ministry, hospitality, servanthood, etc., I love watching people use these gifts for the glory of God and the blessing of His people. I've struggled most of my life to...
My God Will Supply Your Needs
All I have needed, Thy hands hath provided. Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me ~Thomas Chisholm. For my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus ~Philippians 4:19. Here in America, we way too often confuse "needs"...
Still Learning After All These Years
I realized this week that, every time I think I've learned to trust the Lord, I hit a new situation where I have to learn all over again. This past week, the lesson had to do with trusting God in the lives of my friends and family. As a big sister, I like to "be...
An Attitude of Gratitude
I write on this topic periodically because I tend to need reminders of things, and I expect I'm not the only one. I've been thinking again lately how easy it is to take those closest to us for granted. Sure, we love and appreciate our loved ones and their service, but...
How Wrong You Are
On Chris Freeman's latest CD, The Hinson Side of Me, she included an old Hinson song titled, "How Wrong You Are." This was a song I had not heard before, but the words have been playing over and over in my mind. Many believe that they are going to Heaven because they...
For Lonely People Everywhere
This being July 4th weekend, I had planned to write about freedom, but I feel like God redirected me. This afternoon as I was resting, I began to think of how lonely it can be when one does not feel well. You watch others with life and energy, and you want to join in,...
Show Me Your Faith By Your Works
Many are the sermons I have heard throughout my life as to how we are not saved by works. Very rarely do I hear a sermon on the importance of works. Every Sunday school child memorizes Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of...

Getting Past “Poor Me”
I cringe when I see people posting on social media or constantly talking about how lonely they are, how they are no use to anyone, how they don't have any friends, etc. No matter how much people try to convince them that they are wrong, they seem to want to wallow in...
