Life is too short to not be myself…
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. 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,...

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 →
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 →
