Are you experiencing grief in your life right now? Does it feel like your plans have been snatched from you? Is your life not what you expected? Are you struggling to catch your breath and keep your head above the water of dashed hopes and forgotten dreams? First of all...my heart breaks for what you're going through. I am so sorry this has happened to you. Sometimes life happens despite our

Sorry, I just don't feel the need to write another blog about celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of equality. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I truly do believe the man was articulate, brilliant, and more than qualified to teach what he taught. I agree with his dream of living in an America where everyone is equal, where bigotry and hatred no longer exist, where every human being

So, I read an article recently about a mega church ‘pastor’ who says the Ten Commandments no longer apply to modern day Christians. Dear friends, if you are attending a church where this type of belief system is being preached from the pulpit..don't walk...RUN out the door and never look back. The Bible says in 2 Timothy 3:16 - "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is

In years past I’ve noticed that every New Year would bring dozens upon dozens of posts on social media about making New Year Resolutions. This year…not so much. In fact, it was hard to find any at all. Did you have any resolutions? If so, can I ask, how are you doing with them? If you‘ve found that once again, it’s been a bit difficult to keep them and you’ve chucked them out the

Well, we did it. The pages are written, there’s nothing left to say…for good or for bad it’s time to close the book on 2018. I feel accomplished, somehow, like I just put another notch on my 48 year old belt. Was every day good? No. Did I fail to do some things I wanted to do? Yes. But did I have adventures, and love, and a whole mess of God’s blessings in between?  Yes…yes I did.

On Christmas Day one year we took our son, Alex, out to IHOP for dinner. No one felt like cooking and it was nice to focus on the family instead of making the perfect meal. The restaurant was packed, of course, as we weren’t the only ones who had had this idea, and our waitress was busy. We were quite happy with her, however, as she was attentive and friendly despite the fact that she had to

I'm so excited to announce the newest addition to my book collection! Do you love keeping track of the important days of your friends, family and loved ones, but are not a fan of jotting them down in multiple places? Has your phone lost your data again, and now you have to call all of your family members to get those important dates again? I've got the solution for you! "A Book of

The world is busy, isn't it?  So much to see and do, to accomplish and conquer, that sometimes I can feel overwhelmed by it all.  A typical day involves non-stop movement from the moment my eyes pop open in the morning until late at night when I finally fall exhausted in my bed, and even that’s not a guarantee that I'll find some much needed rest. Humanity, as a whole,

Where were you when the towers fell? I was sleeping. The phone rang and my husband went to answer it. It was his father. He yelled at me to come to the living room, to watch the television, his hand still held the phone as he switched it on. We watched in horror, disbelief, as the first plane hit the tower…we were still numb when the second plane hit the other tower. I remember

Am I ‘strong in the Lord’? I want to be, but to be honest, at this moment; I don’t feel like I am. I guess it depends on the definition of the word “strong”.  Am I strong in my Faith? Do I trust Jesus that everything is going to be alright? Am I leaning on Him instead of the problems that surround me? Or do I rely on what the world says should be my strength…to just believe in myself

Mother's Day is bittersweet to me. Mom, if you're reading this, Happy Mothers Day! For those of you, like me, who do not have your Mom in your life - whether by abandonment, death, or some other reason, take heart, God loves you and He will never leave you! For those who are struggling with fertility, know that God sees you and is right there with you. For those who are blessed to

If you've attended church for any length of time you've undoubtedly heard the phrase, "We are to be the salt and light of the world." I've often wondered if we Christians truly understand what this phrase means. Thankfully for us God has provided not only the edict, but the definition of just why we are to be 'salt and light' in Matthew 5:13-16. Let's break this scripture down... vs. 13; "

Sitting in church on a Sunday morning, watching people filter in, makes me wonder at the grace of God. I’m a people watcher, a by-product of my naturally shy personality, and I do admit that I’m happiest when sitting off alone obscurely watching the world around me.  You can learn a lot by quietly watching the people that make up your world, and sometimes what I see amazes me. People are

It’s the first day of the New Year and most bloggers will be writing about making resolutions, new beginnings, and things of that nature. And to be honest, I normally would be among them. But if you know me, or have read any of my past New Year’s blogs, you would know that I do not believe in making resolutions…mainly because, while well meaning, they usually serve no other purpose than to

So recently I became involved in a discussion on whether Christians should celebrate Halloween or not. Without the usual mud-slinging you find on these types of social media discussions (thank you SocialCross.org!!) it’s been rather enlightening to find out what other Christians believe on this subject. So much so, that I did something I normally do not do, I joined in the

Once in a while my Hubby gets the traveling bug, and it usually takes me a bit longer to catch it, but when he came to me on August 2 and said, "Let's take a road trip!" I actually did something surprising...I said YES! Grrrr...me want Big-Mac. So we packed up our little car and headed south. I want to say that our first stop was Kartchner Caverns, but to be honest, after driving for a few

Something happened recently that renewed my faith in just how closely God is concerned with the little details of my life. About a week and a half ago I received a rather unexpected job offer. I mean, it was totally off my radar. You see, months ago, I had given a friend of mine my resume. She is one of the higher ups in a brand new Memory Care Center being built, and while it wasn’t

The liberal, the media, and the religious would have you believe that due to your political choices you have failed the country, humanity and God. In their world-centered logic and reasoning they’ve painted you with narrow brushstrokes of bigotry and hatred. I’ve seen the posts. I’ve heard the rhetoric. I’ve read the long winded blogs that accuse Christianity of failing, that claim

Have you received any phone calls where instead of someone actually speaking to you they start off with an automated message that starts something like this, "We're sorry that we cannot speak to you personally..."  After such a warm and friendly greeting, they proceed to ask you to stay on the line so that you can speak to someone. Really? So let me get this straight.  YOU are

Are you making any resolutions this year? If so, are any of them new, or are you simply digging up last year’s in the hope that THIS will be the year you follow through? While as tempting as that sounds, I am happy to announce that once again I will not be joining the millions who are. “Why not?” you might be asking. I do not believe in them. They do not work.

If you were to ask God to change your name, what would you want your name to be, or mean? Someone asked me this once, and it made me pause and think. To be honest, my name has always been just a name to me, nothing more than a way to identify myself from among the millions of other human beings living on the planet.  It means no more, or no less, than any other name.  At least
