April 13, 2023 Unreal! My mother passed from this life to heaven two weeks ago (March 30). We celebrated her life and love and quiet faith in Jesus on Tuesday, April 4. I could not help but remember my father passed during the same week of April six years ago. The timing is interesting. I […]
A New Song!

March 30, 2023 A New Song! I am writing on Tuesday morning this week. The Hospice nurses expected my mother to pass some days ago. Being the strong woman that she is, my mother refused to keep to their time-line. She is leaving on her own terms; her own way and her own time! The […]
Tears!

March 23, 2023 Tears! There have been three different mornings this week that I have been awakened by warm tears in the corners of my eyes. The tears gathered and then slowly trickled down by cheeks. I did not appreciate or maybe had not acknowledged the soul-deep sadness that was dwelling in me. At the […]
The Power Of Praise!

March 16, 2023 The Power Of Praise! As I write these words, I am listening to Lauren Daigle’s song, “Everything.” I like the lyrical movement of the melody line. At the same time, I am challenged by the song’s message. Lauren sings; “You give me everything I need.” Those six words addressed to the Lord […]
Call Someone…Today!

March 9, 2023 Call Someone…Today! Several years ago, there was a song with the line; “Here’s a quarter, call someone who cares!” (“Call Someone Who Cares” by Travis Tritt). Although there is some sharp sarcasm in that statement, it strikes close to home for all of us. We want someone to care about us. We […]
Finding Home!

March 2, 2023 Finding Home! You have heard the saying, “A house is not a home!” We are about seven months into a new house and it is just now beginning to feel like home. I have been reminded that the experience of “home” just does not happen; home requires effort on my part. In […]

February 23, 2023 Reflect, Repent, Return! Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. It is a day in the Christian faith, when believers make preparations to draw nearer to our Savior, Jesus. The day marks the beginning of 40 days of prayer and fasting, worship and service, Bible reading and group study, spiritual conversations and journaling. Ash Wednesday […]
A Loving Savior!

February 16, 2023 A Loving Savior! I am surrounded by people who love me; family, friends, and neighbors as well as people at church, new friends at the coffee shop, and an older woman who walks in the park near our home. The love of other people is necessary to live a healthy and holy […]
A Constant Defender!

February 9, 2023 A Constant Defender! There are times when we all need someone to defend us. In the courtroom, a falsely accused person needs an attorney to defend them. In a football game, the quarterback needs the linemen to defend him. In a playground scuffle, the child needs the teacher to defend her. There […]
A Tender Deliverer!

February 2, 2023 A Tender Deliverer! My youngest brother never liked the old movie, “The Wizard Of Oz.” I remember watching the movie when he was four or five years old. At the moment the wicked witch dumped out to scare Dorothy, he ran to the television, turned it off, and left the room. My […]
