Dark Valleys Produce Amazing Views from the Mountaintops
I have dear friends who are in some dark valleys right now. Unexpected life alterations are happening. One friend was already facing cancer and about to start treatments, when her medical team found a brain tumor that must be removed first. The surgery is next week. Another friend is going through all the heart-wrenching processes…
Satisfaction…..Guaranteed
Remember that old Rolling Stones song: “I can’t get no satisfaction”? Bless their hearts. They were looking for satisfaction in all the wrong places. My blog today is about being satisfied, really satisfied – SATISFACTION guaranteed. People all over this world are looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow or…
Probing and Examining
Yesterday was the 2nd Sunday of Lent. We’re still in the time of examining our hearts and minds as we make our way to Easter. We are desiring a “clean” bill of spiritual health from our Heavenly Physician, Father God. Yesterday at Epiphany Ranch (my children’s personal and ministry property), I was beyond blessed to…
Breaking Out of the Safe & Warm Space
Over the years, I knew what breaking out of the comfort zone was because I was married to a risk-taker kind-of-guy. Some risks paid off and some didn’t, but it was the two of us, so it made an “It Takes Two” mindset for stepping out and going for it. We were big thinkers and…
The Divine Rearranger
You’ve probably heard about designers who go into a home, take all the existing furnishings and décor items, and simply rearrange it all. Then, whoa la – what appeared cluttered and dysfunctional is now an inviting, warm, welcoming, and spacious area. One piece of furniture can be moved to an entirely different location and that…

GRACE…..so AMAZING!!
GRACE is a word I’ve heard all my life because I heard my sweet Mom singing “Amazing Grace” throughout our home and we often sang it at church. I’ve also heard it sung worldwide as an anthem of praise. And this morning as I type this blog, it is the second song Alexa played when…
Close Encounters of the Best Kind
I’m a storyteller and the best story I tell is about the very up close and personal encounter I had with Jesus when I was just eight years old. I never get tired of sharing it. It’s a short story and to the point. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was just eight…
Power-Washer Services Offered Here
I think I get my frugal and prudent spending habits and mindset from parents who were products of the Great Depression when every penny counted. My Mom would sing out “Shut off the lights! Turn up the air conditioner!” And, in the winter, “Turn down the heat and put on a sweater!” Here I am,…
WORDLE – Words Matter
A couple of weeks ago, my granddaughter, Alexia, introduced me to the online game, WORDLE. I tried it and I was hooked. I may have been known to snap a photo of my conquests and send it to her (like yesterday). Three tries and I had the right word. A simple online game became a…
