Life is too short to not be myself…
Sunday, for our worship, I talked about prayer and how it connects us to God and to each other. Our scripture is from the book of Mark, Chapter 5:24-34 [A] large crowd followed him and pressed in on him. Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years. She had...

So, it is this beautiful lady's birthday (no, not mine or DD's, my mom's) and so I'm taking to my blog to brag on her a bit. I couldn't have asked for a better mother. She taught me so much in life. She taught me how to be a good mother, a wife, and a... Continue Reading →
This morning, I rolled over in bed and picked up my phone. I had gotten out of the habit of doing this in early January but as this virus has taken over, I find myself once again, looking for my phone and catching up on the news before I even get out of the bed.... Continue Reading →

I started trying to decide whether our little churches should continue to meet on Sunday mornings. We are a predominately elderly (over 70) congregation but we are also very small. I had...

So, my friends, you may have noticed that I took a bit of a hiatus from my blog. Well, really it was just from writing in general. Things got overwhelming in my little life and I had to let some things go for a while. I took time for me. Time to rest (I thought),... Continue Reading →
Breath. We barely even give it a thought and yet it is vital to life… in more ways than one. Our scripture reading comes from Romans 8:26-28, 38-39 “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too...
