Guarding My Attic AND My Heart
Squirrel intruders started last year. So bad that they burrowed into my attic with a 6” x 3” hole. I heard them scampering around having a “heyday” all season long. Grrr! I surmised the enemy was out to get me and my peace! But, eventually, no more noise plus $150 bill from my handy man…
A Spilled Cup of Coffee Brings Hope for the Holidays
This blog and photo comes from the analogy of a cup spilling because someone bumped into the holder of the cup. I’ve heard it twice in the last month. Maybe you have, too! Frankly, I was getting ready to roll my eyes if I saw another social media post on it. And, here I am…

Child Like Faith — I Wanna’ Live Like That
Daddy says, “Jump! Trust me!” A leap of faith means the child has to put aside all inhibitions and fears. But, no problem. She has child-like faith. That faith that shows all-out, undaunted trust that her Daddy is going to catch her. And she jumps to her beloved Daddy. No fear – only trust! And…
No Prayer is too Small for our Lord to Handle
Prayer has unbelievable benefits to us, even when we’re just praying about a lost set of car keys or finding our cell phone.
