Rise Above

A friend, Darrell, challenged me to write something that would go with his photo — pictured above. It was fun and difficult at the same time. I hope it encourages someone out there today. When we lived in Florida and we had the opportunity to fly to see family/friends in Texas, Minnesota, or Indiana, I […]

What plan are you choosing?

Twenty- seven years ago, I received a call that my mom had died. I will never forget it. You know how people try to offer helpful suggestions? Some have told me not to keep track of the details that occurred that day, but I’ve learned that it’s a heartache you never forget. Thankfully, a lot […]

How may I help you?

Who knew that five words could make such an impact on someone? I recently took my 1-year-old grandson to the grocery store. I only needed two items, therefore, we were going to zip in and zip out. He loves to ride in the cart, so going to the store isn’t something I dread – it’s […]

When the remote doesn’t work

So my 1 year old grandson has this thing about the TV remote. I mean, that’s his favorite thing to play with when he comes over. I used to let him play with it until he changed some settings and we couldn’t get it changed back for a day or so. Yes, we are probably […]

Spiritual Adultery

We are studying Revelation in my small group/Sunday school class at church. If you’ve ever attempted to read the last book in the Bible, then you know how hard it is to understand all the imagery and what exactly is taking place. Our teacher has done a wonderful job of presenting and explaining this part […]

When we mess up…

I’ve been reminiscing quite a bit lately. It’s amazing how God can use your life experiences to teach you a lesson for today. When I was in high school, more precisely — my senior year, several of my best girlfriends asked me to go with them to Florida on spring break. Of course I said […]

When Leftovers Aren’t Enough

Time management. How do you give your best instead of your leftovers to who is most important in your life? Give me your list. Who are the most important people in your life, and then add what goals take priority? Spouse? Children? Work? Friends? Your health? God? Shopping? Amazon? Doing something for others, or taking […]

The Lord Directs My Path

Mother’s Day. My plans were to take it easy and be lazy. God had a different plan. At the end of the day, I had to laugh when I looked at my total steps for the day. I’m lucky to get 6,000 a day, so you can imagine my reaction when I saw this total! […]

Curiosity and obedience

My dreams came true last week. I started watching my “almost” 9 month old grandson. His big sister is in school, so it’s just the two of us during the day. Oh! And my fur baby, a Goldendoodle, Bogey. Let’s just say — he’s not used to being around a little one, so it has […]
