An Upside Down World
Well, at least that’s the vantage point of this little guy! And, from my vantage point, it seems this world is upside down, even when we’re right side up! Get ready! Get set! GO!!!! I say that as a lead to what we are about to eat and hopefully digest as the upcoming November election…
Pacing Our Race
Our Women’s Bible Study group just finished an incredible series wrapped around the scripture: “Since we are surrounded by such a great crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance…
Our Blind Spot
My husband is stoked about his new Subaru Outback for more reasons than one. His 2018 Chevrolet Impala was suffering a slow death. One thing after another needed repair and rather than taking it into the car “hospital”, he decided to sell it. AutoNation saw it and all the good things about it (it still…
Our Great Physician
After years of enduring neck and back pain, my precious son, a formidable businessman, golfer, marathon runner, husband and father, acquiesced to having cervical neck and spine surgery on Wednesday. He put the surgery off as long as he could. Though I have confidence in God’s healing virtues AND the incredible abilities of brilliant surgeons…
We are Chosen
We saw “The Chosen”, Series 4, 5 & 6 on Sunday night at the theater. As we watched the beauty of Jesus and his disciples and their comradery, I was reminded of the importance of friendships. But I also saw Jesus, in the movie, become quite frustrated at those knuckle-headed disciples who kept messing up.…
My Teddy Bear
Besides other symbols of love on Valentine’s day, my sweetheart gave me this darling “Warmies” weighted bear that is microwaveable (great for a cold winter’s night) and has Lavender Aromatherapy in him. WHAT? A grown woman receiving a Teddy Bear – oh yes! Not only is he the softest and cutest, but he is a…
It’s Just a Thorn but It Sure Hurts
If a genie in a bottle asked you this question, “What one thing, if it got better, would make the greatest difference in your life?”, what would your response be?” The answer would probably be different when we are 16 years old, 30 years old, or 65 or older. At any given age, there will…
Grasping Their Reality
There’s a moment when you might think your life sucks (for whatever reason), and then you see others who have a reality that makes your “issues” seem extremely miniscule. Of course, there are those who “voice” their reality because they need prayer support, encouragement, and some motivation to keep on carrying on. No question, we…
Embrace the Set-Ups
I was a widow for thirteen years. During that “season”, a dear friend set me up with one of her clients. She thought he would be a “perfect match” for me. He was a widower of three months, a devout Christian who enjoyed traveling and missions work, and was ready for love again. Not particularly…
The Paper Shredder
Not long ago, in our community’s FB group, a neighbor sent out a plea for help. She needed a paper shredder to rid herself of all those old financial records, letters, and documents. She was done with the build-up of paper overload. In a matter of minutes, neighbors were quick to provide her with theirs.…
