Addressing various topics and quandaries relating to Jesus was my theme throughout April’s Monday episodes on the podcast, “Turn to God with Carin,” where we share hope for healing. April seemed to be fitting, since most of the Christian world celebrated Easter at the beginning of the month. When Jesus Christ, the Messiah, was born,…
Who loves you more than you can even love yourself? Who is always available to help, when you decide to turn to Him? While we have a need to focus on the Lord rather than on the distractions, fears, and conflicts in the world, we need to also realize how much our Creator loves us.…
One day I heard on the news the ‘word of the year,’ but when I heard it, my word of the year came to mind. And it was much different than what the News indicated. Focus. During 2020, I made the decision to FOCUS on the Lord and my life in Jesus Christ and not…
For many of us, Christmas comes with hope, love, and promise… We anticipate good food, the love of family in our home, gifts we will exchange with others, and (each in our own way) we express thankfulness to the Lord for all that we have and for all He has done for us. Christians all…
While preparing for my interview with podcaster Cristabelle Braden of “Declaration Life,” I seriously looked at the many times that the Lord has brought me through tragedy, abuse, grief, and hardship. And I was delivered from life-threatening situations. I can only believe that His angels rescued me a multitude of times that I am not…
A short story that could have been included in my first novel, “My Dear Rosa Jean” by Carin Jayne Casey… While leaning her elbow on the arm of a sofa, Aunt Grace propped her hand under her chin, “So you and your siblings were used to having Christmas in your earlier years, with the tree…
What does this title bring to your mind? Do you have a history to overcome? Likely, because none of us can say we are perfect, there is a history of something that you want to overcome. Maybe you would love to be able to forgive and forget. But that is not so easy, is it? …
My hubby and I always love the adventure of traveling. Sometimes we find that we have the absolute best resort with awesome activities, sights, and restaurants to explore. Other times, we may find that we have three flights of stairs we must navigate on foot every time we want to venture out, there may not…
While flipping through Facebook entries, I noticed a dog that reminded me of one of my precious friends who had passed. A flood of precious memories overwhelmed me. I’m thankful that I had opportunity to experience quality time with each of my loved ones. The first dog in my life was well-named Friskie. He was…
What invades your peace these days? More specifically, I ask you this: Do Scammers bother you, too? Have you been experiencing an increasing amount of calls that are disguised scams or sales calls? I certainly have! I get calls from all over the United States and even one was from Turkey… and of course, we…
Does social media drive everyone crazy, or is it just me? I suspect social media might be harder for folks at retirement age than to those younger. It appears that kids in school were born with an innate ability toward technology of any kind.. This is like an epidemic! It has spread rapidly, affecting large…
What seemed like an emergency happened. I knew my estimated tax payment was coming due, and I couldn’t find the form. Just one sheet of paper had to be found among millions, from a terribly disorganized room – within a narrow time limit. It seemed impossible. How could this happen? Maybe I could play a…
Last summer two of my siblings with their loved ones joined my husband and I at an awesome resort in Crossville, Tennessee. While there, we explored many sights, played miniature golf, and each evening was spent playing cards. During our visit, we enjoyed quality laughter, adventure, and conversations together. While at the Ozone Falls, we…
