A Sweet Love Story

I knelt down and held the bowl of chicken broth out for three of my precious handicapped streets ministry doggies and noticed something happen that bears a beautiful message for us all. Paralyzed Miss Mercy scooted over on her knees to come up right to the bowl and begin drinking thirstily. 14-year-old slow-moving Abigail moved slowly toward me and the bowl and then stood patiently to the side. Gracie who years ago was dumped at a gas station and hit by two cars on the same day disregarded...

Overflowing with Christ!

I was once so broken and hopeless FOR DECADES I could barely get out of bed let alone function once I did and most assuredly had no sense of purpose let alone hope. Today, I am so overflowing with the love, hope, peace, passion, and joy of the Lord Jesus Christ and the life’s purpose He has given me that I am struggling this very day trying to figure out what direction I should go because I literally can’t keep up with all the beautiful and blessed fruit Jesus is bearing through me to share...

I Was Dead

I WAS DEAD. This is a MIRACLE story. But it’s not just about what happened to me. It’s about you. It’s about this world. It’s about death versus life. A death we cannot fathom. A life we cannot imagine. Please take a few minutes and watch this and don’t be surprised if your life is forever changed. Would you please share this with others so others may hear?

Handicapped Ministry Dogs!

Paralyzed Miss Mercy (left) & disabled Gracie (right) of GOOD NEWS MINISTRY sleeping cuddled up as Mommy (me) works on a new pocket-sized devotional for prisons, homeless shelters & a rescue mission around the US. Later today, Lord willing, I will take paralyzed Miss Mercy & paralyzed Mr. Simeon out in their wheelchairs for some streets ministry. Please learn about the handicapped streets ministry doggies & my ministry right on this website!

A WARNING TO HUSBANDS

A WARNING TO HUSBANDS. Less than 10 minutes of your life to watch this video about husbands and wives. Please would you help me get this message out far and wide by sharing, re-posting, sending out an email, telling friends, sharing with your church or ministry, forwarding, whatever you’re led to do? This is a hard message that I believe with all my heart must be heard. Thank you in advance for your help with this……!!! Please contact me via lara@GoodNews.love or 843-338-2219 if you need You...

You Need God’s Forgiveness

I was thinking about a loved one when this message came to me. See, she doesn’t believe – yet – that she needs God’s forgiveness. But she is not the only one who need His forgiveness. You need God’s forgiveness. So do I. We ALL need God’s forgiveness.

And if we refuse to acknowledge this need, if we refuse to seek Him for forgiveness, if we refuse to believe Jesus is Lord and died on the cross to pay our sin penalty and was raised from the dead, if we refuse to turn from our sins and to turn...

God Has a Plan for This

I’m a fixer, doer, go-getter, pro-active, energetic, figure-out-the-solution-NOW-and-get-on-with-it kind of person by nature, and when something needs to be done, I want to get it done and over and accomplished as soon as possible so I can cross it off my mental list since I rarely keep a literal list on paper. As positive as this can be – at times – it can also be disastrous because I can get so desperate to figure out the answer that I end up worried, anxious, and going at high speed all...

When People Reject You

“They don’t have to like me,” I said aloud as I did my morning ministry doggies chores. “I’m loved by the King!”

I had allowed myself for the umpteenth time in my life to drift back into meditating on people rejecting me.

And, oh, my, with decades of rejection behind me coupled with ongoing rejection to this very day, the hurt seems relentless sometimes.

What an incredible blessing and joy it was that morning to remember that no matter how many people on this earth reject me, and no matter...

How Will You Be Remembered?

The book of 2 Kings in the Bible is filled with numerous references to kings who “did evil in the sight of the Lord” and who “did what was right in the sight of the Lord.” This is not true just of the kings. The people as a whole under the various kings are remembered according to those who did evil in the Lord’s eyes and those who did right in His eyes. Two things are clear. THE LORD SEES who does evil and who does right. And others do also! Imagine all the Bible readers through the...
