Most of us dream this: meet prince charming, get married, have kids, live comfortably, die holding hands while rocking side by side on the porch. But life… Sometimes that dream is shattered by abuse, or divorce, or childlessness, or a child dying, or a… Continue Reading “When your dream changes”

Sometimes we get lost in our little world. It can be demanding. Stressing. Full. Overwhelming. We think we’re doing life as normal – communicating, accomplishing. Today I was doing the mundane – making breakfast – when a surprise happened. There truly are few surprises… Continue Reading “Two yolks”

Sometimes an aha moment happens, and it can change perspective. This happened to me over the course of just a couple days, when it kept being reaffirmed. But that’s how God’s truths are. They are alive and active and working in us and through… Continue Reading “Wait”

Perspective… My four year old grandson napped at my house from the time he was four months old. His room had heavy window coverings to make it nice and dark (and hopefully give gwammy a short break). This week we took everything out, window… Continue Reading “Beyond the Curtain”

So, have I mentioned lately I don’t like change, the unexpected, surprises? I think I’m a slow learner. (Best not to mention things we don’t like.) All three of those things happened at once last week. I’m not alone, grandsons don’t like change either.… Continue Reading “Can’t Wait…”

Time perspective depends on age. At this point in my life, time is a precious commodity and seems to hurry by, days into weeks into months. Speedy little hands and feet see it as ‘what’s next’ – Gwammy, is it time to go to… Continue Reading “It’s Time”

Life is moving fast. Barely time to anticipate an event or occasion and it’s done and the next one is coming. We just went on vacation – Smoky Mountain cool and nights of good sleep. But here we are along with the rest of… Continue Reading “Be Ready…”

Do you find yourself saying ‘wow, it’s Friday again’ – or Monday or whatever day? Seems like time moves at warp speed. I can barely remember three days ago, so much happens. Maybe it’s because our world is ‘bigger’ now. Used to be we… Continue Reading “Ready, Set…”

Not going many places these days. A world that used to zoom from here to there has slowed waaayyyy down. So welcome in so many ways. Love that being late isn’t really a thing right now (pretty much anyway). Love that money is being… Continue Reading “As You Go…”

I love the movies where ants are the characters and even a blade of grass seems ten stories tall. Match boxes are houses, thimbles are boats, cats are ferocious beasts. A whole new perspective. That’s us in the universe. Even our planet earth… Continue Reading “Big God – Small Us…”
