Keep on Stretching
Day 288 of Photo Inspirations — Keep on Stretching! I’m in that season of life when it’s so important to keep stretching. What happens when we don’t stretch? Nothing. For a while. We feel good. We think stretching is just for yoga girls and old folks. Then we wake up one day and there’s a…
Spoiler Alert
Day 287 of Photo Inspirations — Spoiler Alert I was just getting ready to file the sweet birthday cards I received for my birthday and I saw this one again: “Spoiler alert — the hero comes back to life”. In case you don’t get it, the guy is in a book store and has the…
All For One — One For All
Add caption Day 286 of Photo Inspirations — All for One; One for All Yesterday, my photo inspiration was the circle of African children who came together as a whole.

I Am Because We Are
Day 285 of Photo Inspirations — I Am Because We Are I read this story last week about an anthropologist who proposed a game to the children of an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told them that whoever got there first would win the sweet fruits. When…
The Butterflies are Dancing….Are You?
Day 284 of Photo Inspirations — The Butterflies are Dancing!! I’ve been amazed at the number of butterflies I’ve seen over the last couple of weeks.

Living Life as an Exclamation Point
Day 283 of Photo Inspirations — Living Life as an Exclamation Point! #TBT — I ran across this photo that was taken on a family vacation in 2003. These are our four oldest grandchildren, who are now, 23, 20, 15 and 14. Wow! Where did those 12 years go? Graduations from kindergarten, grade school,…
The Older Teach the Younger
Day 282 of Photo Inspirations — The Older Teach the Younger I’m sure we’ve all heard the scripture that references the older women teaching the younger women (Titus 2:3-5). I’m so grateful for the older women who influenced my life — my Mom, my mother-in-law, my Bible teachers like Joyce Meyer, Gloria Copeland, and so…
Fear Not. I Bring You Good News of JOY
Day 281 of Photo Inspirations – Fear Not. I Bring You Good News of JOY Yesterday, our Bible Study was about the second characteristic of the Fruit of the Spirit — JOY! Though I had diligently prayed and prepared, there is nothing like stepping aside and watching how Holy Spirit trumps my pre-planned agenda. His…
Cuddles from Heaven and on Earth
Day 280 of Photo Inspirations – Cuddles From Heaven & On Earth Going to church was one of my favorite “date” places to go to with my Sweetheart. It seemed that the presence of the Lord brought us even closer together when we were there. He would hold and caress my hand, put his arm…
