You Are Always On My Mind
Day 350 of Photo Inspirations — You Are Always On My Mind At the end of 2014 when I was seeking God about my assignment for 2015, I clearly knew that my 2015 blogs would be inspired by photos. So that has been my mission. Just 15 days to go…..and then I’ll start my new…
Oh Tidings of Comfort and Joy!
Day 341 of Photo Inspirations — Oh Tidings of Comfort and Joy From first hand experience, I know that this time of year can cause painful memories of a loved one’s parting. My Dad passed away on December 17th when I was 15 years old, and my Sweetheart passed away on November 16th. But rather…
He Gives His Beloved Sweet Sleep
Day 289 of Photo Inspirations — He Gives His Beloved Sweet Sleep #TBT — This first photo inspiration is one that is so dear to my heart. Our little Payton was beyond tired — he just couldn’t make it through his meal. It was our weekend with Payton and Alexia and that meant action-packed, non-stop…
We Have Nothing to Fear Except Fear Itself
Photo 243 of Photo Inspirations — “We Have Nothing to Fear Except Fear Itself” That was a line from Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Inaugural Address in 1933. But are FDR’s words true, especially when we hear about school shootings, police officers being gunned down, terrorism, natural disasters, economic uncertainty, our children’s safety? And, the list…
Courage, Kindness, Friendship & Loyalty Go A Long Way
Day 199 of Photo Inspirations — Courage, Kindness, Friendship & Loyalty Go A Long Way I don’t watch movies with violence, immorality or crude language in them.

Worry FREE Guarantee
Day 181 of Photo Inspirations – Worry FREE – Guarantee! “Don’t Worry???” You may be saying “That’s easy for you to say — you’re not facing what I’m facing today.” Perhaps not the exact challenge or situation, but I’ve known troubles and I’ve had reasons to worry. And, out of those times, I survived —…
What’s Chasing YOU?
Day 100 of Photo Inspirations — What’s Chasing You? This photo is my youngest grandson being chased up a tree by a harmless Billy goat. It seems quite terrifying to me, but my grandson appears to be totally enjoying himself. It must be because he knows that Billy goat is a pet – not a…
And His Name Shall Be Called Prince of Peace
“And His name shall be called…………Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:7 Of all the scriptures that we hear during the Christmas season, this is one of my favorites. That’s because I have first-hand experience of knowing that peace that can only be found in knowing the Prince of Peace. He has kept me calm, assured,…
Living in the Sweet Spot
Want to know the secret to my joy, my peace, my place of absolute contentment? I’ll admit – “I’m in a sweet spot!” Even, the very day of the “big reveal” of my Sweetheart’s diagnosis – Stage 4 Kidney Cancer – I was enveloped in a blanket of peace. And to this very day, I…
Trust God — Either Way
A few weeks ago, my doc’s assistant called to advise that one of my recent medical tests showed “something”, and the doctor wanted me to have a CT scan — just to rule out “anything”. I asked, “What could that ‘anything’ be?” And her reply was “cancer”. I consented to the scan which would not…
