Our Hero Never Misses a Rescue
I’ve always been a sucker for a good hero story. Blame it on my childhood attraction to Superman – first in comic books and then the big screen. Remember the slogan? “Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look up in the sky!…
Grace and a Wretch Like Me
We’ve all sung the song — probably with a lump in our throats: “Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!” “A Wretch?? That’s not me,” I thought. Seriously. For the longest time, my desires were not to need amazing grace because I was already a “goody-two-shoes”. Ugh! Oh, how I…
DOGE, Love, and a Man on a Mission
There are some words you never expect to hear in marriage. “DOGE” was one of them — until I sent my sweetheart, Carl, a text message that included the new word. “Sweetheart!! I never thought DOGE would affect me so personally. I’m giving you until midnight to email me the five (5) things you did…
What is a Noble Man?
It still sounds strange to me when I speak of my now husband. After all I was a widow for nearly 13 years. Today, I get to celebrate him because it is his birthday. He is a NOBLE man by name and in character. In this photo, he is buying an Olive Tree (a symbol…
I am Amazed
I’ve seen way too much evidence that God is NOT dead, and He sees me right where I am today, and I know His love for me is vast. I’ve experienced way too many of God’s blessings, and I know they didn’t come to me by happenstance or coincidence. I’ve been loved so much that…
Daniel is my Hero!
That’s a strange way to start a blog but hear me out! Since February 22nd, the beginning of the season of Lent, I have experienced 40 days of intentional “cleaning house”. My spiritual and physical house, that is! I have been on the Daniel Fast (only fruits and vegetables and water). I don’t tell you…
Whose Superhero are You?
I was listening to a Christian radio station. The DJ talked about a family he knows whose wife and mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. The entire family dressed up in superhero costumes and went with her to each of her chemo treatments to let her know she’s their superhero. The DJ said great…

She Needed a Hero So She Became One
A dear friend who is going through some really tough times sent me a private message after I had said to her “You are your own hero — you + God = courageous and strong, mighty woman of God!” She replied: Is that ok, to be your own hero?” The following helps explain my response…
My Heart AND My Tummy are Full
Please indulge me that last day of birthday celebrations then I’m done for another DECADE! It was said of God by St. Paul in Ephesians 3:20 “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think…..” That is God Who exceeds our greatest expectations and that was my…
