Suitcase – MIA!
I’ve traveled enough to know the drill. We step off the plane, tired but relieved, only to face the final hurdle: baggage claim. We stand there, watching everyone else’s bags slide down the conveyor belt like they were personally invited. But ours? Nowhere to be found. How do we feel in that moment when the…
Bring on the Romance with Love Songs
It’s just a few days until Valentine’s Day so it’s time to get our love songs play list ready to go! When my then-boyfriend (later, my husband) and I were dating, we had a favorite “puppy love” song, Bobby Vee’s “My Venus in Blue Jeans” — LOL! As we continued dating, we crooned over “Hey…

Kisses — Sweeter Than Wine
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — for your love is more delightful than wine.” How’s that for a Valentine’s Day opener? Sounds like something out of a romance novel, doesn’t it? It is way more. It is straight from God’s Holy Word, the Song of Solomon 1:2. God intended us…
