Remembrance…

This morning this memory from “8 Years Ago” popped up on my Facebook feed.  I am grateful that this small post was made.  Honestly, I don’t remember making it.  It made my heart smile.  Funny how the small things make a big difference in our daily lives. In contrast, “Remembrance” is a big word. Almost too […]

Rock, Paper, Scissors…

Last Spring I substituted in my 5 year olds Sunday School class.  It was an “on the fly” lesson because I realized a teacher was needed when I got to church.  I didn’t mind.  The possibilities are endless.  I love the children.  No problem…   I can’t remember the memory verse, but we were doing […]

In His Time…

Charles loves to fish.  It is evident from this gaping smile. One Christmas we gave my dad, Charles, one of his cousins, & Mark a guided fishing trip for Christmas. Please notice the waves in the background.  Mark gets crazy motion sick.  Dizzy, nauseous, head aches, not a pretty picture.  No doubt, Mark was green & begging […]

When He Taps

“She herself would often suggest that the capacity to radiate God’s love was dependent first on a personal interior contact with the fire of God’s love.” –Kathryn Spink, Mother Teresa An Authorized Biography When He taps, where is my heart?  Is it focused in His desire for me or is it focused on my own […]

Road Conditions

We had a snow with terrible cold on Thursday night.  Friday morning the roads didn’t look that bad.  Not a huge snow & the wind hadn’t caused drifting.  I started into town behind the bus. I decided to go on the state highway.  I thought it would be clearer than the county road.  The state […]

WaHoo on the Goucho

My Granddaddy Billy was a smidge flamboyant.  He was a funny mix of smelly, smart, ornery, quirky, sweet, funny, mischievous, & dangerous. We used to play WaHoo.  Now, this was a made up game from all that I can tell.  The game was centered around Granddaddy laying on his “Goucho”. What exactly is a “Goucho”?  […]

God’s Got This

God’s got this.  Give everything to Him! Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking […]

Cleaning Closets

I’ve been cleaning closets.  This is a continual process with me.  I am NOT good about it.  There are easy things to throw away, too big clothes.  There are things that are hard to let go.  They bring back memories.  So, when I clean closets, I choose what to keep & what to throw away. […]

Wake Up, Smell the Coffee

This one is for Lucy.  Lucy is a sweetheart.  She probably doesn’t even know it.  For Christmas a few years back, she gave my husband, Mark, coffee beans & a grinder.  Now, at the time, I barely drank coffee.  In case you didn’t know this, all coffee is not created equal.  The good stuff smells […]
