I Want to be a Pointer
Okay. I’ll admit it. Some days I struggle with humility. I get so fixated on who commented or liked or loved my blog, that I fail to remember it is HE Who deserves all the honor and praise. Less of me, more of Him. That I might decrease and He increase. We’ve been talking about…
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…
Be Sure to Wear Your Little Black Dress
I was amused when my daughter told me she was invited to a dinner with several women and the tagline was: “Be sure to wear your little black dress.” Staci remarked to me: “I don’t have a little black dress but I’ll make it happen!” And she pulled it together with a stylish black top…
Heaven Sent and Heaven’s Scent
I have several friends who have recently welcomed new babies into their homes Oh, how they must relate to the Baby Boy born in Bethlehem at this time of the year. I sure did, when my baby girl was born on December 8th. I’ve told each of those friends how much I want to get…
Pilgrimage Day 5 — Arriverderci Roma — It’s time for us to part
Aw! Italy! Bellissimo! The beauty of Italy on an early morning drive through the fields and mountains, the lush green groves of olive trees, sheep grazing, vineyards — all seen as we made our way to Assisi (about 3 hours drive on a motorcoach), the birth and burial place of St. Francis of Assisi who…

Yesterday was a big day for Lexi and I as we were flying to Orlando to meet up with her Mom, Dad and Payton who had been in Charlotte, NC for the weekend. On the way to the airport, we were boasting about being such seasoned travelers – that to fly in an airplane was…
Got Your Clothes On Yet?
Now that’s a loaded question. The answer could be “yes”, even if you’ve got your jammies on, your swimsuit on or a 3-piece suit on. The fact is, we usually clothe ourselves according to the occasion. A t-shirt and shorts may mean a comfortable afternoon at home. A silky chiffon dress might mean a special…
I Love ME!
Day 22 in this Month of Love — I LOVE ME! My post, today, was inspired by this photo on my Weight Watchers Magazine. (Yes, I’m a 30+ year veteran of WW!) The girl is hugging a heart full of red balloons and she’s declaring “LOVE, ME!” Before I read the sub heading, I knew…
How About a Slice of Humble Pie?
When I saw this program at the Advent by Candlelight event last Monday, I noticed, right away, the word “HUMBLE” above my name. Actually, it was the title of a song that was sung before I spoke, but I thought “God are you trying to tell me something?” Just a few minutes later, I felt…
