Read MoreWe Love Each Other … Because He Loved Us First
One of my favourite lines in the Bible. We love each other, because HE first loved us. HE has shown us HOW to love. No excuses. None at all. When Jesus was on earth, His entire life was to show US how to live and love – the weak, the marginalized, the unlovely, the unwanted, the…

Read MoreOpen Our Eyes To What YOU Are Doing
I met author, Mary DeMuth, a few months ago as she was a special guest on my podcast, Your Story With Melinda. She was smart, funny, engaging and very honest. I really liked her. She’s the kind of woman that you could sit on the couch with and chat, in your torn/ugly pajama’s, about life…
