A New Morning — A New Hope
Good morning, friends. I wrote this blog last night — not knowing what tomorrow would hold. But, I believe we can wake up to a country ready to move forward. No matter who holds office, we can be assured of one truth that stands above it all: God is still on His throne. His plans…
The Greatest Love Story
I love hearing people’s love stories and I love telling our love story. I am a hopeless romantic. A hopeless romantic is a person who continues to believe in love, no matter the struggles they might have experienced in the past. They choose to see the positive in relationships over the negative, believing wholeheartedly that…
I Love a Good Love Story
I must start this beautiful month of God’s great love with a love story. I admit it. I’m a hopeless romantic so I love hearing people’s love stories. In fact, that’s one of my “asks”, not just for table-talk, but I sincerely love hearing how couples met, fell in love and got married. Maybe I’m…
Lord, Have Mercy
As sure as the sun rising in the east is me saying those words when I’ve broken something, said something I shouldn’t have, heard about devastation or someone’s plight. Those are my “go to” words without even thinking. I say those words often – particularly when I don’t have adequate words to say otherwise. “Lorrrd,…
The Allure of Love Songs
It’s just a few days until Valentine’s Day so it’s time to get your love songs play list ready to go! When my then-boyfriend (later, my husband) and I were dating, we had a favorite “puppy love” song, Bobby Vee’s “My Venus in Blue Jeans” — LOL! As we continued dating, we crooned over “Hey…
I’m a Sap for a Good Love Story
Take for example, my second oldest grandson, he and his girlfriend just had their one-year dating anniversary. They are the cutest couple and we have welcomed his sweet girlfriend into the family with open arms already. I keep thinking any day he’ll pop “the question”. I am starry eyed at their love for each other.…
I Love a Good Love Story
One of our favorite movies was the blockbuster, “Love Story”, with Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw! While I love a good on-screen love-story movie, there is nothing like real life ones. The first chapter of my own love story began when I was a little girl seeing the adoring love that my mom and dad…
She Laughs. He Laughs. They Laugh.
There is a woman in the Bible who is described as “being clothed with strength and dignity”, and here’s the part that really gets to me – “she laughs without fear of the future.” (Proverbs 31:25). I want to be that woman. I think we all long to be described like her, but I’m not…
The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
I love hearing people’s love stories. In fact, that’s one of my “asks”, not just for table-talk, but I sincerely love hearing how couples met, fell in love and got married. Maybe I’m living vicariously through their stories, and while I love a good on-screen love-story movie, there is nothing like real life ones. I…
The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
I love the way my friend, Melissa Ascarino Silvestro, Director of Adult and Family Life at my church, talks and leads those in faith formation to falling in love with Jesus. First it’s getting acquainted with Him and His Church. It’s all about a Love Story. Please allow me to give you her perspective of…
