Home NOT Alone
It all started seven months ago when we had an estate sale to rid his home of no longer-needed contents. He loved our apartment “nest”, so he put his charming home on the market. Little did we know that beneath its delightful exterior, lay a web of plumbing problems waiting to be uncovered. But hey,…
Deep Longings
I know the right things to do within my life. I can maturely process my emotions. I know what gets to me. I know what I love to do for ME! Yet, a part of me still places my future happiness on other people, places, and situations, and I can become anxious or disappointed when…
Giants — Everywhere!
I know how it feels when my circumstances are looming over me like a hulking, colossal GIANT who is fierce, beyond my capability. He is throwing every negative word of doubt and unbelief imaginable my way. He is taunting, harassing, smack-talking and my faith is challenged like crazy. Maybe that sounds like some things you’re…
Unshakable & Unstoppable
“Masters champion Scottie Scheffler’s faith and focus make him unshakable, and perhaps, unstoppable.” “With Scottie Scheffler’s wife home pregnant, 2024 Masters winner succeeds despite absence of his rock.” Those were the headlines after Scottie became the Masters Open champion on Sunday. Aw! “His faith! His wife!” Words that touch my heart strings! It was a…
Let’s Eat
You ought to see us at our Thursday night’s Mix and Mingle. I mean those of us who live at Everleigh Lakeline 60+ community. You would think that we were starving birds in the wilderness as we line up to fill our plates with another scrumptious meal. Let’s eat! We love those words! They mean…
Who Do YOU Condemn?
I watched a clip from “The View” program where the co-hosts went down a rabbit trail of condemning Princess Kate with false conspiracy theories. A reporter said: “Shame on you!” Now, the co-hosts are expressing regret after acknowledging that they had misconstrued Princess Kate’s absence, only to find out that she was diagnosed with cancer.…
How Big is Easter?
We’ve made it to Wednesday of Holy Week. Just three months ago, we were celebrating Jesus’ birth. During the Christmas holidays we think of Him as “the little Lord Jesus,” who “laid down his sweet head” in a manger. It’s hard to understand why people would come to hate Him, conspire against Him, and ultimately…
Happy Palm Sunday! What Did Jesus See?
Not long ago, a new couple moved into an apartment across the hall from us. We welcomed them, and after that, would have casual conversation with them. The wife was always in a wheelchair. I never asked why. But one day, no questions asked, I was prompted to pray for her. They welcomed the prayer,…
His Chosen Ones
Watching “The Chosen” series, I have been enlightened to what it might have looked like back in the days when Jesus walked, talked, healed, corrected, uplifted, raised people from the dead, performed miracles of loaves and fishes, and taught the masses. Seriously, I don’t read a scripture in the New Testament now without seeing it…
Straighten Up, My Friends!
With all that’s going on in our lives and our world, it’s enough to make us feel like we’re carrying the weight of it all on our shoulders. And all that weight might just be causing us to have bad posture. My mama wouldn’t let me be a “slouch”. I hear her voice right now:…
