A Thousand Generations
I heard this story and just had to share it with my friends. A busy father was looking for a way to entertain his young daughter. He found a map of the world in a magazine and cut it into pieces. He gave the pieces to his child and suggested she try to piece the…
Connecting the Dots
I have learned to connect the dots on so many levels. God helps me with that. Daily. If I don’t have enough time to work out, rather than stress about it, I chill. No sense making an ado about nothing. Connect the dots of “chilling” on this day. Maybe my body needs a rest day.…
Exposure of the Greatest Kind
This gal learned her lessons well. I exposed this white lily body way too many times to the sun as a teenager and as a grown up for many years. I’ve suffered the consequences of too much exposure to the sun. Today, I’m talking about some top-notch exposure to the true power of God. It…
Seedtime and Harvest
If you saw my blogs the last couple of days, you’ll know I am a married woman now. Wow! What a difference a few days can make. I am awakened to the fact that it’s not just about me, me, me any longer. It’s about we, we, we! And isn’t that what God called us…
UNEQUIVOCALLY Continuing On!
One thing I learned during my “widowhood” season, from November 16th, 2010, to August 8th, 2023, is that we card-carrying members of widowhood are some of the best people in this entire world. We lived through pain, life-upheaval, and heartbreak, and so many of us have come out the other side more beautiful than ever…
A Lot Can Happen in Nine Months
That’s typically how long it takes to give birth to a baby. That’s pretty much a school year and it’s time enough for a couple to meet, date, fall in love, get engaged for one week and get married. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it. My “friend” that I talked about in some…
The Keys to a Happy Marriage
I read about two Baltimore couples — the Chambers, who celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary and the Tymkiw’s marked their 70th anniversary. That’s what I call “vows made; vows kept”. So, what was the secret of their successful unions? The couples said it was a combination of shared values, mutual respect, faith, and a lot…
Letting Go to Grow
This blog today is meant to help those of us who don’t like letting go. I mean the letting go of treasured times, treasured people, treasured routines, and traditions. Letting go isn’t easy, but it is the life God designed for us. Throughout the Bible we read about letting go. King Saul’s son, Jonathan, and…
PEACE — at all Cost
If I know peace it is because I know God. Know peace, know God. No peace, no God. And the peace I know is a peace that passes all understanding. I have written many blogs about peace. That peace is the basis for my MyPeaceZone.com website and this blog. Out of the seemingly most difficult…
Huggers! Bring on the Hugs!
If anything bothered me during the Covid pandemic, it was that we couldn’t reach out and touch someone, which for me, a hugger, is heartrending. Even handshakes were unacceptable. Though we still respect where someone may be regarding close contact, I am still campaigning for us to be huggers and if not in the usual…
