The Doorway to Heaven
Day 58 of Photo Inspirations — The Doorway to Heaven A dear friend posted this photo on her FB page yesterday, and it touched me so much I knew it would be my photo inspiration today. My friend’s 95-year old mother passed away last week and this photo gave her such comfort. When I saw…
Have You Made a Pledge for Purity?
Day 57 of Photo Inspirations — Have You Made a Pledge for Purity? Yesterday, out of the blue, I started looking at old Staci Michaels Ministries “Above & Beyond” newsletters that we sent out monthly, 20 years ago in 1995. I was reminded about the Pledge for Purity Program that she created and taught back…
I’m Supposed to Love My Neighbor as Myself, BUT Myself Doesn’t Have a Barking Dog!
Day 56 of Photo Inspirations: I’m Supposed to Love My Neighbor as Myself….BUT Myself Doesn’t Have a Barking Dog! I live in the most amazing community with some delightful residents in it, except for a few cranky ones. But, cranky, is just the nature of some folks. So that was my dilemma. When wonderful…
A Lot Can Be Learned From a Jigsaw Puzzle
Day 55 of Photo Inspirations — What is PUZZLING you? Putting a jigsaw puzzle together at Christmas is one of our family traditions. We have such fun doing it together. The box top will be in a prominent place where ALL EYES can see it, and, strategically, we’ll get the border done first. Often,…
A Day for Love Letters
Day 55 of Photo Inspirations — A Day for Love Letters Yesterday was a sweet home-bound day, when the snow continued to fall and give me every reason to stay in my comfy robe and househoes. I love these days when it seems that God gives me a heavenly nudge to slow down and enjoy…

Msgr Dan holds a special place in my heart. Currently he is…
Unplugged
Day 53 of Photo Inspirations — UNPLUGGED!! I just returned home from a 3-day; 3-night ACTS Retreat where I was completely unplugged from technology — can you even imagine that I could survive without my computer, social media or my phone OR a clock or watch for that long? Most of you know I’m ALWAYS…
Dream, Play, Give, Smile, Cherish
Day 52 of Photo Inspirations — DREAM, PLAY, GIVE, SMILE, CHERISH This wall mural got my attention while shopping at the At Home Store. This is the way I really want to live! DREAM like there are no impossibilities. Nothing is impossible with God — so we shouldn’t insult Him with small thinking — BIG…
It’s Worth the Investment
Day 51 of Photo Inspirations – It’s Worth the Investment!! TBT – Throw Back Thursday – Like any “Stage” Mom, I was always on the lookout for any and every contest I could get my girl in. I got “wind” of the Mrs. North Carolina Pageant and thought “Why not, my Girl?” So, unbeknownst…
Making Room for God
Day 50 of Photo Inspirations — Making Room for God! Let the MAKEOVER begin!! I’ll admit it. I love reality TV shows — watching real people endeavoring to win a competition or watching personal makeover shows that radically transform someone, like “The Biggest Loser”. And I love the “Fixer-Upper” Show where they take the worst…
