God is Still in Control
We’re in the thick of “He said, She said. They said. Let him go, Let him stay!” The race for our next president is intensifying. I married a man passionate about our election privileges and responsibilities, so we keep vigil in our actions, reactions, and prayers. Time flies in the election process, and soon we’ll…
That 4-Letter Word….Rest
I was drawn to the word “rest” after our diehard president was forced to stop and rest when he tested positive for the C-virus. A few days ago, I heard him respond to an interviewer’s question: “What symptoms were you having before you tested positive for the coronavirus?” He responded: “I just didn’t feel the…
Are We Ready to Get This Baby Delivered?
Yesterday’s news of our POTUS and FLOTUS testing positive for the coronavirus put me into labor – laboring for this baby (eight months in now) to be delivered. I prayed throughout the day for a miracle birth. During these months, I have mourned with those who have mourned the passing of a loved one and…
Thanks to the Superheroes and the Big Picture

They were also those in the world of Disney, DC and Marvel Comics. I remember my comic books that taught me about superheroes first. I lived vicariously through those…
Time Wasters and Time Makers
I had an aha moment when I read this scripture: “Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways when they carry out their wicked schemes.” Psalm 37:7. I don’t watch the news, but my Facebook newsfeed keeps me updated on the highlights of “wicked…
Happy Presidents Day! Thanks, Presidents!
I gave considerable thought to Presidents’ Day before posting today. In my research, I found this day began as a way of celebrating George Washington’s Birthday (our first U.S. president) and now it’s a federal holiday that honors all presidents of the U.S. In celebrating this day, do we really acknowledge, with gratitude, what our…
Were You There When Donald Trump Became President?
Yes, I was there — glued to the returns that came in. Even my young grandchildren stayed up for the big announcement. The history books will long declare “Donald Trump became the 45th President-Elect of the United States of America on November 9th, 2016”. Who woulda’ thought that a real estate mogul, New York businessman,…
I Know WHO Holds Tomorrow
I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I know WHO holds tomorrow! This world we live in seems like it is on a downward spiral, but, we don’t have to fear or be concerned because, if we listen to the candidates, each one declares they’ll be able to fix all that’s wrong with it when…
