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 →
This morning, as I was waking, thoughts of gratitude flowed through my mind... The gift of life The air I breathe and the plants and trees that provide it and clean it My feet that carry this body of mine where I want it to go The snooze button for extra morning snuggles Family, Friends, and...

The last few weeks, I've been kind of soul searching. Kind of trying to find myself again spiritually.

This actually sent terror through my heart. My baby girl, going to Chicago without her dad to protect her?? What kind of crazy... Continue Reading →
Every week a gentleman from one of my churches tells me that there are too many blessings to count! It would take too long. And I always tell him that's why I post a list of a few every week. I'm by no means listing every single blessing. I'm just trying to remember how very... Continue Reading →
He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." ~Psalm 46:10 It's not always easy to be still, is it? Our mind is constantly at work solving problems, creating problems, am I right? But scripture tells us to be still... Continue Reading →
So many blessings to count today. The first I want to mention, though, I don't want to say is a blessing because, well, my blessing shouldn't be someone else's curse. Last night the tornado sirens went off for over an hour. DD and I sat in the basement watching the radar of a tornado a... Continue Reading →
