Life is too short to not be myself…
The blues. Sometimes, they just sneak up on me. Does that ever happen to you? I think I must be really good at hiding it, even from myself. I tell myself, oh, I’m just lazy, just tired, what do I have to be blue about? I can even still tell jokes and be quite funny... Continue Reading →
Let's continue where we left off on Tuesday with Chapter 4 1-5 The other empire officials worry over the building of the walls. They are angry and begin to mock and make fun of the Jews and their work. Nehemiah hears this and prays for God’s help. It’s hard when we feel called to do... Continue Reading →
Nehemiah Chapter 3 Side by Side This chapter was a bit hard to read for me. Too many names that I can’t pronounce but it has a very important message.

Once again, let me just say, this empty nest thing… it’s for the birds. I’m over it. Time for a recall! I need my kids to move home. Oh, they don’t have to live with me, or even live in the same town! My dream would be within an or two so that I could... Continue Reading →
Today we begin our study reading of Nehemiah. I hesitate to use the word study because I’m not sure I’m ready for that yet… so... Let’s read Chapter one together and I’ll share the notes I took as I read it. Be patient with me. I Pray for the spirit to lead us as we go.... Continue Reading →
So last September, I found out that my cholesterol was high. The doctor immediately wanted to put me on medication to get it under control. I had feared this for a while. It's in my genes. No chemicals for me, please. I didn't want to take any pills. No chemicals for me, please. I had... Continue Reading →
This is probably going to sound really weird to you and I am actually a bit hesitant to share it with you but... Here it goes. Recently, I felt God telling me to read Nehemiah. Really. I could see me with my Bible and notebook in my lap studying the book of Nehemiah. This all... Continue Reading →
