Learning to Lead AND Follow
It all started one Wednesday night at our church’s weekly family dinner. We overheard two couples chatting about their next dance class. We leaned in closer to hear more! Turns out, several couples from our church gather for a meal and then dive into dance classes. Take that a “dance-step” further – we jumped into…
It’s a Test Worth Taking
During my last Wednesday night’s Bible Study, one of our gals shared a sweet love story. She told our group that she and her husband were in bed, and he commenced to pick up his Bible and read this to her: “Leah is patient. Leah is kind. Leah does not envy or boast. Leah is…
The Greatest Love Story
I love hearing people’s love stories and I love telling our love story. I am a hopeless romantic.

Not Missing God’s Invitations
How thankful we are to have finished a successful estate sale at Carl’s home!

The Chapters of My Love Story
The first chapter of my love story began when I was a little girl seeing the adoring love that my mom and dad had for each other. I witnessed their sweet affection for each other. In fact, my dad couldn’t keep his hands off my mom. “Roscoe, QUIT!” She would cry out when he was…
Love Keeps on Giving and Forgiving
The day after Valentine’s Day, I took down the photo of my husband and I and the plaque that read: “A True Love Story Never Ends” from my entry shelf. But, since it’s still the “love month”, I replaced it with the one seen here. This plaque reads: “You are so loved”. I hope it’s…
Welcome, February – the Love Month
It’s the LOVE month and I am in the love mindset, as I have been for decades. I am always nostalgic this month. On February 14th, 1961, my boyfriend (and 5 years later, my groom), and I went on our first chaperoned date, chauffeured by his dad and mom to my church’s Valentine’s banquet. February…
