Life is too short to not be myself…
I don't know about you, but I've been needing a little escape from all the ... craziness in the world (well, mostly the United States). It's been overwhelming and exhausting. So the other DD and I took a Christmas break! Yep, we just did Christmas all day. We baked cookies, we ate cookies, we drank... Continue Reading →
I was lying awake in bed early this morning and found myself praying. Praying for my family and friends, praying for “my enemies.” I don’t really think I have enemies, this is a phrase Jesus used “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Matthew 5:44 - I think of it as praying...

This week's message is based on Psalm 135:1-3; 13-21. I've posted the video from worship below and have it beginning at the scripture time just before the sermon. If you would like to watch the whole service you can click here. If you'd just like to read the sermon, I've placed the text to it... Continue Reading →
Yesterday evening, my dear friend, Phelba, passed away. She had cancer. She fought it for a lot of years. I will miss her so much. I’ll miss her laugh, and her smile. I’ll miss all our long chats about EVERYTHING. Even stuff we disagreed on. She and I could talk about anything… and we did. ... Continue Reading →
So I've been wanting to post for a while now. Not another devotional but just a post about life and what I'm doing but life has been so crazy that I just can't ever seem to find the time. I know, we're on stay at home orders, what is there to do? Well, let me... Continue Reading →
So friends, how are you doing? Really? How are you REALLY doing? I know for some of us this stay at home thing is hard. Easter was different. For some, it didn’t feel even a little bit like Easter! My Easter was different, it had a little sadness, but it also had smiles and laughter. ... Continue Reading →
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 →
Wow, I just knew I’d be back over here in a day or two after my last post but then things went wonky. 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...

I got an email this morning from one of my favorite people, JJ Heller, with a new song and the lyrics. It's called "An Unbreakable Heart." It's beautiful. JJ Heller has a habit of singing my heart. So many of her songs just go straight to my heart and I feel as if she is... Continue Reading →
