Fighting the Good Fight of Faith
(This is one of my first ever blogs, June 12, 2010. I repost today because I thought, just maybe one of my FB friends could see how my Sweetheart and I “fought the good fight of faith” during his illness, 6 years ago. It blessed me then, it blesses me now — NEVER stop fighting…
LOVE is Sharing the Journey
Many times in life, we find ourselves, hand-in-hand and side-by-side with others on similar faith journeys. This is a story about Shannon Brill Rziha, a precious friend, wife and mother of three young children who passed from this life to heaven five years ago February 11th. I am compelled to share about her because she…
Re-membering
Re-membering (I know my FB posts are longer than suggested, but I’m on purpose. I know most wouldn’t click the blogspot link, so I post in both places.) This post was written 5 years ago, and it bears repeating — especially for those who have lost a loved one and for those who just don’t…

Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know, He holds the future. My life is worth the living, just because He lives.” As…
Nurse Donna On Duty 24/7
At age 14, I was a Candy Striper at a hospital in Dallas. The unique job title represented the candy cane look of the red and white-striped pinafores we wore. Back in those days, I aspired to one day being a nurse, so, like other teenage girls, we volunteered to assist the nurses at the…
A Roller Coaster Ride is Great….But Sometimes You Just Want to Throw Up!
Early on in my blogging I described our faith journey as a roller coaster ride — twists and turns, and ups and down, and throwing our hands up in the air and enjoying the ride!! But, as a friend shared with recently….roller coaster rides make her want to throw up! And, I’ll admit..I’ve had days…
