Life is too short to not be myself…
This advent I’ve been preaching on Joy – hopeful joy, loving joy, unabashed joy, and today will be peaceful joy. Hopeful joy – I shared how we can find hope and joy in the most unexpected places. I had a memorial service the day before and so I was able to share how even in... Continue Reading →
Yes, silly as it sounds, that is exactly what I have been trying to do. Disconnecting from technology some so that I can reconnect... with nature, with family, with God, with myself! I've been reading more and just sitting more. I've been visiting more and crocheting more. I've been going through things and letting go.... Continue Reading →
The last few weeks, I've been kind of soul searching. Kind of trying to find myself again spiritually. I've been feeling a bit lost... not sure who I am, where I want to be, even what exactly I believe! This soul searching has moved me away from my computer, from social media. I've been reading,...

DH drove out to pick up DD and bring her home last week. He got to see her perform and then they got home Saturday evening. So, I've been spending my time with them. DH is going to be traveling for DD's 20th birthday so we went out today to celebrate early! Fun times! DH... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I preached on loving others as Jesus loves us and it reminded me I needed to get back to my crochet goals. If you remember, from my New Year's Post, I set a goal of 52 crocheted hats to give away to the needy by next winter. It was supposed to be just one... Continue Reading →
