Sacred in the Ordinary
Aw! Welcome the thunder and the rain! At last! God’s mercy are new every morning! Abruptly, dark clouds can loom over us and in a matter of minutes, a storm of monumental proportions of thunder and torrents of rain can pelt us. In my own little world, I can imagine God looking down on us…
Blessings & Raindrops
We have had uncanny amounts of rain over the last couple of weeks, but it’s Sunday and it’s gorgeous outside. The sun is shining brightly and the landscape seems greener than ever! But, I know there are those who still have rain and storms in their lives. I remember feeling that way when we received…
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…

We Believe!
We Believe! We love our OKC Thunder basketball team and they had a great season this year, but the Golden State Warriors are having an even better season. The Thunder fell one game short of making it to the NBA Finals because of the Warriors, but there’s always next year for a rebound! We Believe!…
Learning to Dance in the Rain
When the storms of life come, it’s quite easy to nestle down all snug as a bug in a rug, and just wait for them to pass. After all, who wants to go outside when it’s lightning and thundering and the winds are blowing 90 miles an hour? It’s also quite easy to complain about…
