Advent is Hope — the Great Expectation That Something Good is Coming!
Day 334 of Photo Inspirations — Advent is Hope — the Great Expectation that Something Good is Coming! I took this photo inspiration at my church yesterday, It’s the Advent Candle Wreath and the first candle (the HOPE candle) was lit. The word “advent” means a coming or arrival, especially of something or someone extremely…
Great Expectations
The word, HOPE, means “the exciting expectation that something GOOD is about to happen”. Charles Dickens is well known for his book, “Great Expectations”. With GREAT EXPECTATION I look forward to each day being one that is blessed and joy-filled. I’m experiencing that on this beautiful cruise I’m on. Believe me — it took work…
At the End of Your Rope?
Do you feel like you’re at “the end of your rope”, and are about ready to give up? We’ve all had those times when we felt like we’ve run out of options — can’t find a job, money has run out, being a student with a failing grade, a marriage or an illness that seems…
Then Came the Morning — He is Risen
HE IS RISEN!! ALLELUIA!! Happy Resurrection Morning!!! 2,000+ years ago — there was tremendous fear in the Jesus’ followers because of such diabolical evil that had been rendered against the Son of God.

How BIG is Easter?
Tomorrow is Easter! And, of course, the reason Easter is the most important day on the Christian calendar is because of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, from the dead.

Gratitude = Love, Peace, Hope & Joy
In June, I’ll travel to Seattle to be a part of my 2nd oldest grandson’s high school graduation celebrations. I’m so excited. I love being out there with my family.

Sheltered in the Arms of God
Another thing to know about me….in the 70s, my husband, sister-in-law, a dear friend and I were The Master’s 4 Quartet. We traveled the country in a 26′ Winnebago (with our two kids pictured here) — singing/playing Gospel songs in churches, camps, concerts and other venues. Those were great days of many and long road…
I Believe I Can Fly — If Dumbo Can — So Can I
Yesterday, I posted “I believe I can fly!” Let’s take it a step further. Do you remember Dumbo — the Disney character that had huge ears? Other elephants ridiculed him, until he met Timothy Mouse that changed his perspective. Timothy convinced Dumbo that his little feather had magical powers that could turn his ears into…
