It’s nice to have a doctor in the family. To quote Dr. Seuss, “Everyone should have one of these at home!” We have an especially kind one that never minds us asking medical questions. His knowledge and perspective are invaluable, and because we love and trust him, his opinion matters. I have also had the…
I am stepping out of my comfort zone. This isn’t the first time, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Obedience often demands it. This blog post isn’t for everyone. It’s a little awkward and not very flattering. Obedience overrules my inconvenience. And my pride. God is teaching me new things every day, and…
You’ve seen it and felt it–the “calm before the storm”. But that kind of calm can make you anxious. Fearful even, as you wonder what the repercussions will be… It is the quiet that comes after the storm that is refreshing. Soothing, in a way. Quiet respite from the turbulent time that has passed. The…
“All things were created through Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created.” John 1:3
Apparently I have been slowly murdering my husband for 35+ years… “You’re killing this time-oriented man!” We are very different, this man and I. He comes from a family of all boys. Everything is a competition and everyone is in this competition whether they want to be or not. Like the driver in front of…
👠 It is high time to step out of those STILETTOS 👠 Let your hair down. Leave off the makeup and put on something comfortable, then carefully consider what I am about to say. While dressing up is fun on occasion, spending way too much time trying to impress will WEAR.YOU.OUT. I know that sometimes you just wanna…
A picture is worth a thousand words. And yet… You can read a plethora of books on Gettysburg, look at pictures, or even watch the movie, but the reality is–it can never replace the experience of being there. Experiencing it first-hand changes everything. In effect, it is a giant graveyard where you step quietly and…
A sobering place. A pivotal place in American History. You.must.see.it. But if you cannot, perhaps the photos will make it more real to you. O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation. Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n rescued land Praise the Power that…

I am not a scientist. And all that’s been discovered about DNA is more than my mind can fathom. As a matter of fact, this schoolgirl graduated many moons ago, and I barely survived science class. But the God of the universe created it all and, IT.IS.FASCINATING. “By my great strength and outstretched arm, I made…
“Can I go outside after I fix my attitude?” ~~Annabelle, 2 The clock is ticking. The birds are chirping. The coffee is brewing. A new day dawns. It’s good to be home. As the morning sounds chime, I am faced with a decision.
“My people, hear my instruction; listen to the words from my mouth. I will declare wise sayings; I will speak mysteries from the past— things we have heard and known and that our fathers have passed down to us. We will not hide them from their children, but will tell a future generation the praiseworthy acts of…
For the last two Sundays I have been away from my home church. The majority of the last 35 years I have had one pastor–my husband. As strange as that sounds to you, I can assure you that it sounds just as strange to me. In a lifetime of dreams, never once did I imagine…
While I love the four seasons we enjoy in the Midwest, I am always in awe of God’s creation whenever I travel to other parts of our beautiful country. Some would think that the dry desert is barren and boring, but I totally disagree! I am in Arizona this week, and even though I left…
