Nancy Unashamed

Image
 Nancy Grandquist was an amazing singer. She loved her family. She was larger than life. She sparkled. She was unashamed. I can go on and on describing who she was. I listened to her music as I cleaned the house, cooked dinner and prepared my lesson plans for my students. I kept thinking over and over through my tears, what a legacy she has left behind. She loved so deeply. She was all over the place and traveled all over the world. She reached as many people as she could in any way she could. Nancy was timeless. Glamorous. Elegant. Wild. Calm. Funny. Humble. Honest. Pure. Chef. Mother. Wife. Friend. Unashamed. That word stands out to me the most. Unashamed. She didn't do what she did for the approval of an audience. She did it because she knew her God. She did it because she loved her God. She did it because she knew who she was. She lived out loud and unashamed. In a world where Christians tend to hold back and not say everything, she shouted it from the mountaintops. In a world ...

To Love Like Stan Jones

 To love like Stan. What does that mean? When I heard of the passing of Stan Jones, the first thought that crossed my mind is who will love like Stan Jones? How do I properly give tribute to a man who had a way to make you feel at ease? Simple, kind and gentle that was Stan. On Sunday's he would bring a van filled with people to church. He was a friend to the friendless. He believed and poured hope into those that others would pass by and not give a second thought to. He showed the love of Jesus to everyone he met, simply by showing kindness. He truly lived as you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto me. Stan was a father figure to those who had none. Stan was a friend. Stan was faithful. Stan was a servant.  He spent countless hours teaching Bible studies. He would take a friend out fishing and minister to their wounded hearts. He was a true fisher of men. I believe Stan would want us to remember that Jesus is the answer to it all. Jesus is the answer t...

In Loving Memory of Sis Vickie Davis

Image
Vickie Davis was born January 6th, 1954. She passed away from this life on December 16th, 2022. She left behind a beautiful legacy. She was First Lady of Bethel United Pentecostal Church in Old Westbury, NY.  Wife of her beloved Doug Davis. Devoted sister to her siblings by birth or marriage. Loved deeply her nieces and nephews. She was a faithful friend to many.  A classy lady in everything she did, even when she was painting the walls, changing a lightbulb or getting on her knees to clean out a cobweb in the corner. She loved the church. She loved the saints. She loved her husband. She loved her family. We all loved her in return. To her a church building project meant progress. She loved souls and a bigger building meant room for more to come to the love of Christ. She had a wonderful sense of humor. Her smile lit up the room and warmed your heart. Her hugs made you feel like everything was going to be just fine. She loved to worship her Savior. Without fail, no matter what...
