I don't know about you, but I'm tired of all the griping and complaining about our leadership in our country. It's really nothing new! If you look back, we have griped about everyone who has been in office. No one is exempt! Let's be the change!! Start today praying for your leaders. I appreciate the... Continue Reading →

Today, January 29th, is my dad's birthday. I truly love and appreciate him. Dad is not one to talk a lot. If he ever says anything, it is after he has had time to think about it. A lot of the things I have learned from him come by observation, not so much in the... Continue Reading →

There are many days that I look in the mirror and wish I could forget about what I see! Some mornings it's pretty rough! But, if I did forget what I saw, I wouldn't attempt to change anything. (As a side note, some things can't be changed. 🙂 ) I love reading the book of... Continue Reading →

When I was young I couldn't wait to get the Sears and Roebuck catalog - Christmas edition!  Oh it was glorious. I would sit for hours looking over the enticing toys and circling everything I thought I had to have. Fun memories! As I have aged, I can hardly give my children ideas. I have... Continue Reading →

As I was getting out all of the decorations (I was reminded I need to downsize), I was not feeling it. I was a little grumpy. Not quite to the Scrooge stage but, I was feeling rushed and anxiety  began to creep in because I haven't even started my shopping! But, as the day went... Continue Reading →

This past week I experienced a myriad of emotions. It will be a Thanksgiving I will not forget. We laid our sweet brother-in-law to rest. I watched all of my grandchildren playing, hugging, and just visiting. I saw family members I didn't expect to see and some that I hadn't seen in a while. We... Continue Reading →

When I read my emails this morning, Psalm 95:1-2 was my verse for the day. I sobbed when I read it. A verse I've read before took on new meaning today. In the midst of life's chaos and pain, it was if the angels were saying to me, "Come, join us in the worship of... Continue Reading →
