The Secret Place.

(Psalm 91:1 – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty).

The Secret Place is where intimacy with God deepens, His presence becomes your refuge, and His secrets are revealed to those who draw near. This is the place where Secret Place SECRETS: A 31-Day Devotional Experience was born.

Beyond the 31 devotionals, the author shares intimate glimpses of her 2016 breast cancer journey in the Introduction, Personal Acknowledgements, and personal story, “A Covering on Every Side.” She reveals how The Secret Place sustained her through one of life’s most difficult seasons.

Written for men and women alike, this devotional invites you into a deeper, more personal relationship with God.

These “secrets” aren’t hidden from us, but for us. God wants you to know them, but some things are only discovered when you get close. Come closer.

The book features titles like:

  • Go to Ant School
  • God Will Never Divorce You
  • If God Can Use a Rooster, He Can Use You!
  • This Is Not A TKO!
  • The BE-Attitudes: Let There BE!
  • The Devil Doesn’t Have a Birthday
  • You Want a Tough Stain Out?

Building on the milestone success of its inaugural event, Pine Bluff, AR and 15 neighboring municipalities across Southeast Arkansas are coming together to host the Second Annual Regional Veterans Parade on Saturday, November 14, 2026.

Under the theme “Serving Our Veterans” and in special commemoration of America’s 250th Anniversary, this year’s parade expands into a massive multi-county tribute honoring the brave men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. 

The parade will begin at 10:00am in Downtown Pine Bluff, bringing together residents, military organizations, civic leaders, marching groups, and local leaders from across Jefferson County and surrounding communities. 

A Historic Regional Collaboration 

Recognizing that the military community spans far beyond city lines, host city Pine Bluff is partnering with 15 surrounding cities to ensure veterans across the region are fully represented and celebrated: 

  • Host City: Pine Bluff
  • Partnering Cities: Altheimer, Dumas, Humphrey, Kingsland, Monticello, Redfield, Rison, Sheridan, Sherrill, Star City, Stuttgart, Wabbaseka, Warren, White Hall, and Wrightsville.

“In 2025, our community made history by hosting our first-ever Regional Veterans Day Parade and Celebration,” shared Joyce Campbell, Chief of Staff of the Office of the Mayor. “As we build this into an annual tradition—especially during America’s 250th Anniversary year—our goal is to unite Jefferson County and our surrounding region for a truly unified tribute. By joining forces across 16 cities, we can give our local heroes the grand-scale recognition they so richly deserve.”
