Living in the Peace Zone
Did you know that you – yes, YOU – and your circumstances are no surprise to God? It took me a while to wrap my head around that one, but once it clicked, it changed everything. Now, it’s how I roll. Life has a way of throwing curveballs, doesn’t it? A pain in a place…
In 1920, the Boston Red Sox made one of the most infamous trades in baseball history. They sent Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees. (Big oopsie!) For the next 12 seasons, Ruth hit more home runs than the entire Red Sox team… 10 times. That decision went down as one of the most regrettable…
Oh, the lifelong journey I have had with my hair! It’s been a roller coaster of triumphs and mishaps! I’ve been friends AND foes with my hair since an early age. What about those perms??? I can still smell the chemical concoction from a home perm my mom gave me. She read the instructions like…
“Well, this is a fine mess!” Isn’t that what we think when life throws us for a loop? Like we’ve stumbled into the wrong chapter of our own story. But hang tight, because shattered dreams are the very pages God uses to write the most incredible comebacks! We’ve all been there—broken relationships, financial upheavals, health…
I live in God’s grace. I just know it. We all do! No matter what kind of mistake(s) we make, there is always a solution for restitution. It comes in the form of grace. It is God’s grace that heals and restores. He exchanges our tarnished slate for a fresh, clean slate so we can…
Oh, the joys of travel! I spoke about them yesterday. Here is Part 2. After our one-year anniversary whirlwind trip, we expected a no-glitch flight. But, our flight was delayed two hours which meant a late-night, 12:30 am arrival home. By the time we would get our luggage, hop on the parking bus, get our…
At our Noble Family Reunion a couple of weeks ago, one of the cousins’ husband, Joe Randle, was our official photographer. He didn’t miss a minute. He was on purpose as he randomly took shots of the children, of family members laughing their hearts out, and many other precious moments. He is making photo albums…
Details — those ominous, pit-filled, heart-wrenching times when we ask: “Why? Why? Why?” But hold on, friends, God is in the details!!! We are having our morning devotions when we start looking for answers to some almost overwhelming issues. A sales contract on Carl’s home seems to have a glitch. During the inspection, some plumbing…
I was a widow for thirteen years. During that “season”, a dear friend set me up with one of her clients. She thought he would be a “perfect match” for me. He was a widower of three months, a devout Christian who enjoyed traveling and missions work, and was ready for love again. Not particularly…
It’s yesterday and it’s my birthday! And we’re on our way to I-Hop! It’s a redo of last year when my son asked where I’d like to go for my birthday. It was to I-Hop where a most charming waiter welcomed us and sang “Oh, Donna!” to me and the entire restaurant. To top it…
