Life is too short to not be myself…
“It was still the first day of the week. That evening, while the disciples were behind closed doors because they were afraid… Jesus came and stood among them. He said, “Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they were filled... 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 →
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 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 →
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 →
I had a BIG birthday last month. Yep, I am now 50 years young. You may be thinking... "ahh... that's why she's been struggling!" Nope. That's not it. It's a million other things that I don't feel like I am able to share on this platform. Turning 50 has actually been great. In fact, it's... Continue Reading →
So I figure gratitude is a great way to start the day and maybe a side effect will be feeling better and less stressed. So... here we go! Cups of hot chocolate. I had a lovely cup last night while watching a little TV. Crochet. I love crocheting. It clears my mind, helps me focus... Continue Reading →
