Chocolate and Kindness Dealers
I have exposed my DELIGHT for anything chocolate for a very long time. My husband is an accessory to my habit. He knows that one See’s salted chocolate caramel morsel brings me to heaven on earth. Yum! Surely heaven will include seeing Jesus face-to-face, streets of gold, AND chocolate! Heavenly delicacies. Chocolate — that SWEET, savory, God-given, delicacy of…

Long title but I hope to make that my goal this year. We were wanting a new devotional book so, with a Barnes & Noble gift card, we found just the one to help us navigate this new year. As I type this blog today, I received a message from a friend who advised that…

Today is the first Sunday of Advent. The first candle lit on the Advent wreath symbolizes HOPE. I HOPE that my attention to this time will cause an insatiable desire for leaning into the real reason for the season. Even in the midst of busyness, we can have an insatiable desire to take time to…

My One Determined Purpose
Once upon a time, my one determined purpose was to be the best daughter, mom, wife, Bible teacher/leader, employee, and friend. I would like to say that my best was accomplished, but I fell short in many ways. Now, I’m in the season of desiring to know my Lord like the Apostle Paul expressed: “For…

Being Christian-ish
I’ve never watched the show, but I understand “Black-ish” has to do with children who are not fully one race or another and they have cultural issues about their identity. The name of that show made me wonder if we may be “Christian-ish” — not fully all in as Christians and so we have issues…
Our Rich Family History
My son called to ask for as much info as I could provide regarding our family’s history. He was on a quest to keep reminding his boys/men about the foundations that our family was built upon. Then, my nephew, Robert Wheat, saw this FB photo of our “Wheat Family” from back in the 1950s and…
