What Do Your Little Eyes See?
I saw this online quiz – and took the test. The results of the quiz would tell whether I am an Idealist, Realist or Surrealist, based on the color selections I made throughout the quiz. I’m not validating the merits of this quiz, but I think it “nailed it” for who I feel I am…
You Matter!
Some things just don’t change…..but wouldn’t it be great if they did? The first two kids, Cain and Abel, born from the first two parents, Adam and Eve, couldn’t get along. In fact, their sibling rivalry led to the death of Abel. Fast forward to the dad, Jacob, and Joseph, his son (his favorite son…
The Gift of Rest: A Divine Invitation
I’m exhausted with so much rancor and antagonism in our world. I had to turn the TV off because I couldn’t take one more “He said, she said!” I know exhaustion. I lived in it when my late husband was so very ill. That was 14 years ago. It was divine timing when a dear…
Lights, Shine Bright!
Aw! The Corn Moon aka the Harvest Moon aka the Super Moon! What a beautiful sight to behold! We have been in awe of its beauty the last few nights! Didn’t our Creator provide us with so much entertainment with His majestic and artistic abilities? LOOKING UP to the night sky and seeing this moon…
Nothing can Separate Us from God’s Love
Doesn’t that give us reassurance at the end of a day when we feel less than loved by anyone, including ourselves? God’s love for us is unwavering and eternal. Imagine that! No matter what happens, nothing can destroy our relationship with Him. This truth has the power to transform our lives. Romans 8:38-39 assures us,…

Today, we celebrate the birth of our nation, marking 248 years since…
Hope Floats…..or Not?
Many of us are tired and lackluster with our hope. Tired of negativity, political rancor, grumpy and whiny people. Tired of trying to make changes in our lives. But we’d better make some changes because Proverbs 13:12 says: “Hope deferred makes the heart sick.” Yikes! Who wants a sick heart? When we lose hope, we…
The Race
In John 20:3-4, we read: “So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.” This moment of friendly competition between Peter and John gives us a lighthearted glimpse into their human nature. Visualize this with me:John: I won!Peter: Who’s ever…
Our Experiences can Encourage Others
Life is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and moments that leave us both exhilarated and exhausted. Through it all, I’ve learned that sharing my own experiences — both the good and the bad – can be a benefit for others. I’m sure, if you follow my daily blogs, you’ll get that! I…
Harbor of Hope
As we set foot in Bar Harbor, Maine — yay — back in the U.S.A. — we were greeted by the crisp ocean breeze and the stunning views of Frenchman Bay. This charming town had a way of weaving its beauty through our senses. The sound of the waves gently lapping against the shore, the…
