I want you to meet a friend of mine. Gertrude McFarland has been in my life for quite awhile. I thought it would be fun and have her come and spread some of her joy! Couldn't we all use some? If you have a question or need advice, please feel free to leave a message.... Continue Reading →

I am trying to make good use of my time as we are staying home during this crisis. It is a great time to clean out closets and drawers. For me, it has been like opening up new treasures. It seems in my "other life - before Coronavirus", I was bad about just sticking stuff... Continue Reading →

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WNhsajTmFs Just heard this song for the first time today. As all of our lives seem to be put on hold, let's not give up. Let's remember that God is in control. Remember David as he had to hide away from Saul? Living in caves. Living on the run. He easily could have said his... Continue Reading →

The passing of Phillip Bowsman has touched so many hearts. Many people who disagree on many things all coming together and celebrating his life and supporting... Continue Reading →

I admit I get distracted. I start a project and think about something else I need to do. Sad but true, I can walk into a room and in seconds forget why I'm there or what I'm looking for! Can you relate?? How easy it is for us to get distracted. We hear this a... Continue Reading →

I love this word! Sometimes we just need to be refreshed! It might be a cool drink, a nice shower, or taking a long walk on a cool night! There are many ways to be refreshed! But, sometimes our soul needs to be refreshed. Those dark places we don't address. The places where we don't... Continue Reading →
