I See God In You
A Heartfelt Response to “The Shock Factor”
Okay. Wow. I admit I am shaking. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt so strongly the urge to lash out, but thank goodness a verse I read in Proverbs this […]
To the Mountains!
Spending time in the mountains can be a dream come true for those of us that live in the flat-lands. (I’ve only ever lived in Illinois and Texas) I can vividly remember seeing […]
Confessions of a Romantic
On a whim I started to title this post, “Whatever Happened to Romance”, and accidentally sent an empty post– with only the title (oops!), before I realized that it might be a […]
Learning from Our Past
We all have a story. From Parents and grandparents, siblings and friends–to places we’ve been and things we have done–we all have stories that have molded the person we are today. Our […]

Purging with Purpose
Understand from the beginning that I am not in any way talking about food! These are my thoughts on scaling down and simplifying my life… It’s not just children who struggle with the […]
Four Simple Gifts
It’s not a new concept, only new to me. I’d never heard it before, but wish that I had heard the idea when I was a young mother. My daughter shared with […]
Oh Be Careful Little Eyes What You See
…for the Father up above is looking down in LOVE, so be careful little eyes what you see! This song from my childhood entered my mind (a common occurrence for me!) when […]
A Cardinal Reminder
My husband and I both grew up in Illinois where the State Bird is the Cardinal and our favorite baseball team is the ELEVEN-TIME WORLD CHAMPION ST. LOUIS CARDINALS. Guess you could […]
