Just Breathe
My husband and I hiked up a mountainside on New Year’s Eve with four twenty-somethings. Guess who was last? Yep. Me. As my heart pounded out of my chest and I panted for air, I was reminded of my college days. My roommate and I did just about everything together. We shared many of […]
Great Expectations
Joanna Weaver, author of Having A Mary Spirit, made a statement I can’t get off my mind. She said, “For we all need someone who believes we are more than we appear to be.” Do you have someone like that in your life? Most of us have a parent, spouse, child or friend who thinks […]
A Letter From Jesus
As the entire world celebrates Christmas this weekend, Christians will be reflecting on how the birth of Jesus changed the world then and how He continues to change the world today. As ideas for this week’s blog began to form in my head I knew I wanted to take a different approach, yet I wanted […]
Believe and Have Faith
My husband, Ron, and I recently purchased an old family farm which had been neglected for many years. We enjoy witnessing the revival of this place as we plot and plan the next phase of renovation. This property has a pond near its center which had become overgrown with shrubs and trees. This made it […]
Addicted
I have this habit of bouncing my leg up and down when I’m anxious. Give it a try. Sit down and position your knee right over your foot. Get your foot up on your toes and then just let it bounce away. Can you do it? I think I inherited this talent from my dad. […]
Shortcuts
Ironing is SO not my favorite thing. I will do just about anything to avoid it. I even throw my shirts and pants back into the dryer just to avoid the chore. This cooler weather allows my sweaters to cover a multitude of ironing sins. Don’t tell me you’ve never ironed only the collar of […]
Do I Hear A Bell Ringing?
I love that old Jimmy Stewart movie, It’s A Wonderful Life. Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without that elderly angel, Clarence, giving George Bailey a glimpse into what life would have been like without him. I believe that movie became a classic because we all want to put ourselves into George’s place just for […]
Fifty and Fierce
I don’t usually watch television very much – especially in the mornings. It just doesn’t set a very good tone for my day. However, this morning was one of those rainy days that required an extra cup of coffee and a few more minutes of down time. I turned Robin Roberts and her GMA team […]
Nothing But Blue Skies?
I admit it. I am a sky freak. I always have been. Even as a teenager, my best friend and I would marvel at how absolutely glorious the sky could be. It was as if God were our own personal artist who painted new masterpieces every morning especially for us. Now that I am much […]
True Colors
Galatians 3:27 “for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” (The New International Version) This past weekend my husband and I traveled to our university’s away football game. We wore school colors on our hats, shirts and jackets. We even had our RV decked out. There was no doubt […]
