Salt or NO Salt
Happy March! Let’s keep MARCHING ON!For years, I have embraced this time of the year for not only a time of Lent (from Ash Wednesday to the Saturday before Easter) and introspection of this “temple of the Holy Spirit” that God gave me (and you). 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says: “Do you not know that your…
The Week of Love
A morning online search led me to info I never knew. Apparently, Valentine’s Week in India officially began February 7th when couples start celebrating the month of love with romantic gifts, heartwarming surprises, and spending quality time with each other. “Bring on the love” is what I say! What not have a week of expressions…
Hosanna! Holy is His Name!
My insides cringed when he said it. Sucking in a short, sharp breath, I realized that I would never grow accustomed to hearing Jesus’ name used while swearing. My head bowed slightly as my heart prayed, “Jesus is Lord.” We know that God’s name is holy. The commandments given to Moses reveal that. If that…
Go, God! Astonish Me!
I was in the “blog-writing” mode when I remembered an old song, “I Believe in Miracles” written by Carl C. Buck in 1950. I started singing the chorus in my head.“I believe in miraclesI’ve seen a soul set freeMiraculous the change in oneRedeemed thru CalvaryI’ve seen the lily push its wayUp through the stubborn sodI…
Desert — NOT Dessert
We’re nine (9) days into Lent, but whose counting? Me! I’m numbering the days to Easter in my journal. The end of this season isn’t even in sight yet. Do I sound whiny? “PLEASE, just one tiny taste of chocolate!!” I may sound whiny but I’m really not. I know I need this season —…
Turn on the Spotlights
I think I get my frugal and prudent spending habits from parents who were products of the Great Depression when every penny counted. My Mom would sing out “Shut off the lights! Turn up the air conditioner!” And, in the winter, “Turn down the heat and put on a sweater!” I see her in me.…
Lent Means Course Correction
As a Private Pilot, I have extra help with the notion of “I believe I can fly”. We had a single engine Cessna 182 – a sweet ride. We logged many hours flying across this great country. Though I haven’t flown in a while, I remember some crucially important flight requirements that ensured landing where,…
The Divine Rearranger
You’ve probably heard about designers who go into a home, take all the existing furnishings and décor items, and simply rearrange it all. Then, whoa la – what appeared cluttered and dysfunctional is now an inviting, warm, welcoming, and spacious area. One piece of furniture can be moved to an entirely different location and that…
Power-Washer Services Offered Here
I think I get my frugal and prudent spending habits and mindset from parents who were products of the Great Depression when every penny counted. My Mom would sing out “Shut off the lights! Turn up the air conditioner!” And, in the winter, “Turn down the heat and put on a sweater!” Here I am,…
Clean Out and Clean Up Time
Accidentally, I threw a towel into my wash with my black slacks. Oops! Hello Lint! You know. Those little fibers from that towel were all over those pants. I proceeded to pull out my trusty, sticky lint remover roller to remove all those tiny balls of lint. Because I was so passionate about what is…
