by Rhonda Barrett ~ At this especially busy time–since selling our home, packing, and moving half way across the country–I find myself pondering my priorities and I find myself pondering His priorities. These verses come to my mind from Matthew 28:27-30, Jesus’ words, “My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows...
by Rhonda Barrett ~ I love this picture of two of my five grandchildren. Big brother, Beaux, is tickling his little sister, Estella. He waited a long time for a little brother or little sister, and it’s great to see how much they love and adore each other. Beaux is such a great big...
by Rhonda Barrett ~ When describing a baby, people often say, “Awwww so precious” and they are right. But you know what? That “baby”—no matter how young or old—never stops being precious.

It was very unique and I stared at the expression of the man in the painting.” The title of the painting was “Simeon’s Moment” by artist Ron DiCianni. I shared with Gary...
Our first born son had become a man. The day arrived way too fast—the day he left our small town of 5,000 people and moved to the “Big D”, population 2 million plus. This morning I am thinking about Christ for the Nations Institute (CFNI) and giving thanks to God! CFNI is where our oldest...
by Rhonda Barrett ~ I cannot believe it! Just a few days ago the leaves on the trees here in Oklahoma were still green. Then, all of a sudden, they began to change colors…bright reds, oranges, and yellows. Yesterday I took a picture because I wanted to show you how beautiful the colors on the...
