I was reading my devotional a few weeks ago, around the first of the year, and the words, “refresh” and “renew” kept coming up. And now, a few times this week, I have heard or had repeated the words “remain” or “abide”. What do these words mean? I looked them up in the Webster online […]
It seems like Christmas was a long time ago, but we are still in January, and so technically the year is still new, right? How are those resolutions coming? I hit a slight “doldrum” week last week with being off schedule, going through a little sickness, and then the snowstorm throwing us all off kilter, […]
I have a question for you: What if the worst thing to ever have happened to you actually wasn’t the worst thing to have happened to you? October is well-known to be Breast Cancer Awareness month, but, since 1988, President Reagan also declared it to be designated as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. If […]
When I was a kid, and even into my teen years, I was pretty independent – “headstrong” and “willful” are some terms you would have used to describe me! I mostly did what I wanted to do without spending too much time thinking of that others might think, or what the consequences would be. My […]
Ok, everyone, this week we are going to talk about lies. I wrote a few months ago that one of my goals for this year was to be more informed about current events — I am failing miserably so far — BUT when the hullabaloo hit the fan in the past week or two about the […]

Christ is enough for me. I was praying about what to write about this week, and those words popped into my mind – the melody from the popular song played in my mind and I automatically started singing. But as I got to the phrase “Christ is enough for me” I stopped – is He […]
Ok, my friends, this is the big one. This is the post that has been on my heart for over 2 years now, that I have been feeling called to share. — p.s. it might be a tad long, but I apologize for that! — As I write this, my palms are sweating, and my […]
Billy Graham. As most people probably know, Reverend Billy Graham died last week, and his memorial was just held in Washington DC. My hubby and I just watched a pretty good documentary the other night that detailed his life and impressive ministry — I didn’t know too much about him other than he was a […]
Dear Younger Me, I don’t have many regrets in my life, but if I could live the last 30 years over, these are the things I would want to understand sooner and remember every day: Don’t go through your life being worried or afraid and holding back — instead, be bold. Don’t be afraid to […]
