Moving Forward

Do you remember looking at lists of ‘stressors’ and seeing your problems? Life happens. “Yes.” It is there. It’s OK to be upset or almost unglued, because ours is a common and real problem. That was yesterday. But here we are today, a widow. (I still don’t like the word.) Numb, puzzled, vulnerable, sad, frightened, angry, yet laughing at things most don’t find so funny.

Resources

We inform, encourage, and equip widows. We provide books, DVD¹s, Journals, CD¹s, radio podcasts, church resources and tools, spiritually based and practical. Internationally we provide skill training for widows for economic independence.

Today shows that a quick swipe at a problem solves nothing. Our country’s wounds and sins are too deep. Perseverance, […]

Verna Oller

March 19, 2026

Verna Oller is a name few recognize, but her hometown will long remember her. With little education, a job with an hourly wage, she left 4.5 million to her hometown. She insisted that her wealth be kept secret until after her death. She was a shrewd investor and lived frugally. She cut her own hair, replaced broken shoelaces with strips of zipper, and chopped her own wood even into her 80’s. She traveled, and studied stocks. Her focus was one thing; improving her hometown. Her instructions were to build a town swimming pool and provide improvements for education in Long […]
