This Day…
Sometimes loved ones are just too far away. Maybe no longer here on earth. Maybe living more than a short car ride away. Maybe separated by walls put up with harsh words. Every now and then I catch the scent of my mom (a… Continue Reading “This Day…”
Search & Rescue…
Ever notice the hardest person to be honest with is…yourself? I sit down to have a little prayer time, God time, telling myself ‘I’m choosing what’s best’ – all the while thinking about what I need to get done. What I’m really doing is… Continue Reading “Search & Rescue…”
Just A Little Bit…
Are things going just the way you planned? I’m guessing each of us smirked or exhaled ‘no way’. Now I know not everybody lives by a plan, an agenda, a ‘this is the way it should be’ idea. But I’m thinking most of us… Continue Reading “Just A Little Bit…”
You Are Qualified…
Thirty-four years – celebrating a life together. As strong ocean breezes toss my hair, I wander back in time. Years ago a prideful young man and a selfish young woman found a grace-full God and determined they would live a life with God at… Continue Reading “You Are Qualified…”

A Tightrope & The Nice Glass…
Maybe I should have named this post: What An 18 Year Old Woman-Girl Can Teach You. She slept so soundly while she was here. But a gentle nudge to her foot brought wide eyes and a smile. I wondered, this light sleeping mother/grandmother that… Continue Reading “A Tightrope & The Nice Glass…”
Wipers…
I hear this commercial every now and then talking about how cars didn’t always have wiper blades. A small accessory on today’s cars, but without them we wouldn’t get far in a heavy rain on the highway. When the children were young, a fun treat… Continue Reading “Wipers…”
Power-Less…
Most of us will never find ourselves behind actual jail cell bars, but often invisible bars keep us locked up tight. Some of those bars are bad habits, some are past hurts, some are poor decisions, still more come from the illusion that we can… Continue Reading “Power-Less…”
12 Ways…
(Look for The 12 Ways of Christmas releasing next November) Twelve days until our remembrance of THE birth – the one that changed everything. This soul needs to be more wrapped up in His gift to us than in the paper and bows. Join me on a quest? Let’s… Continue Reading “12 Ways…”
