Hi Sweet Friends, I’ve never broken a blog into two parts before. But let’s be honest, no one should have to take a week of vacation from work to read my blog, so I’m trying to learn to write in bite-size portions instead of the epic trilogies that I usually crank out. Can we just… Read More »

Hi Sweet Friends, Have you ever read a verse in the Bible and thought, “Well, who put that there?” I recently read a verse that jolted me. I know I must have read it several times in my life, but why was I just now really seeing it? I had to stop, take notice, and… Read More »

Hi Sweet Friends, When I sit down to write, I‘m never quite sure how it will go. Of course, I have thoughts from reading scripture and the writings of fellow travelers and my own experiences. But how do I lasso so many random and abstract thoughts running and bucking around the corral of my brain… Read More »

Hi Sweet Friends, You may find this hard to believe; but in the nursing home world, Kevin and I are considered quite attractive. Among those who are mostly blind, mostly deaf, and mostly confused, we are thought of as a real catch. It’s always an ego booster for me when we visit our precious friends… Read More »

Hi Sweet Friends, My family has experienced some life-changers this past week that I wanted to share with you.  We had the wedding of our beloved daughter and the funeral of Kevin’s beloved mother within three days of each other. Kevin’s mom took her final breath the night before the rehearsal dinner. She wanted to… Read More »

Hi Sweet Friends, I’ve had an epiphany. Or apathy. Or appendectomy. Hang on, let me check. …Yep. It’s definitely an epiphany. I’ve been watching a robin bang it’s head on my living room window for three or four weeks. Every day it’s the same routine. While his or her friends are building nests in my… Read More »

Hi Sweet Friends, I’ve been thinking about sin much as of late. Not mine, of course. I was contemplating the sin of others. You know, the ugly sins. The ones that smell bad. While considering what went wrong in other people’s lives and how to fix them, God suddenly pivoted the floodlight to shine on… Read More »

Hi Sweet Friends, I’m no theologian. In fact, I had to look up how to spell it. But I’ve partaken of several books, dramas, documentaries, articles, and experiences as of late that certainly got my heart and mind reeling. As society shut down because of the coronavirus, many of us turned homeward. For some, like… Read More »

Hi Sweet Friends, I have warfare, particularly spiritual warfare, much on my mind as of late. Several reasons: our family recently rewatched  The Lord of the Rings trilogy; our church ladies and friends are doing The Armor of God  study by Priscilla Shirer; and I have become keenly aware, in my own life and the lives of others, of… Read More »

Hi Sweet Friends, I’m sitting down with my pen and paper (Yes, I still do it the old-fashioned way) not even knowing what I’ll write. But I’m trusting God for words since His are the only ones that matter. Either God works on our behalf or we might as well stay in bed. My editors,… Read More »
