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…”
Under the Rainbow…
Wherever you are – stop – look around – we have it all right here and right now. Why do we need to long for ‘over the rainbow’, when right here under it is where God has put us? Under this rainbow, sure there’s… Continue Reading “Under the Rainbow…”
Lips to Give…
A friend said she makes her list then asks God what His agenda is – instead of bless her list, she asks what on this list is Your agenda, so it can be blessed. Mouth hanging open. Simple. (I think I’m slow.) Yes, of course, in our… Continue Reading “Lips to Give…”

The Great Exchange…
Sometimes we bring home something that doesn’t work out as expected. Maybe it’s clothing that just didn’t fit right after all. Maybe it’s a new plumbing piece that wasn’t the right shape. Sometimes it’s food that had gone bad but we didn’t know… Continue Reading “The Great Exchange…”
Re-Fresh…
Sometimes we just need a re-do. The burdens caused by this fallen world rest heavy on shoulders. It is time to Re-Fresh… Like diving into clear water and coming up to sunshine and light breeze. The re-fresing we seek isn’t only outward, it’s soul-deep. Down… Continue Reading “Re-Fresh…”
Crown Me…
Every girl loves a tiara, sparkly and brilliant… Not many ‘queens’ left – their crowns are on display in some museum or high security place for others to ooh and aah. One day all the crowns – be they rhinestone or diamond, be they for the prom… Continue Reading “Crown Me…”
