Peace, Goodness and Mercy in the Storm
I love to share about God’s peace, goodness and mercy that follows us all the days of our lives (Psalm 23:6) but then comes along another storm that rocks and reels our world. Hurricane Ida came in with a vengeance. I was thankful to see my Louisiana friends mark themselves as safe on Facebook. But…
Comfort and Peace in the Storm
I’m continuing my blog series about these two furry grand-dogs that I’m keeping while my children are away. It’s Sunday morning and I get a wake-up call, rather a wake-up barking at 4:30 am from Emma, the Yorkie. I’m not a happy camper. Who wants to be awakened by a barking alarm? My sleep is…

HELP! If You Have a Great Passage – Send it my Way!
When we are far removed from the turmoil and fear that others go through during storms, tornadoes, torrential rains and now flooding, we pray and give positive thoughts and hopes for them, but still, we’re not in the middle of it. It’s not touching us, so we go on about our business. But this is…
