Mini Home-cation:
My life is a little different the past few years. There is much less traveling now that I no longer own a camper. Having the camper allowed us to travel a multitude of places, on many weeks and weekends during the summer. I miss many things about all of that. I miss spending quality time…

Forgiveness is harder when it means forgiving you.
Sitting in Church recently our pastor began to talk about suffering and change. As I I sat and listened I was brought up short about several things. One of the things that really stood out to me was the way that Paul stayed resilient and chose joy even when he was imprisoned for Jesus. I…

Totality / Eclipse
As I watched in anticipation of the total eclipse today, several thoughts were running through my mind. Some of the words used by news reporters today were; amazing, emotional, spectacular, peaceful, beautiful, astronomical, phenomenal, totality, and one even used the word spiritual.

No words
This week’s blog has been slow coming and has taken on an entirely new direction due to some unforeseen circumstances. My sister-in-law (and yes, she will always be that) passed to be with Jesus last Thursday morning after a brave battle with ALS. Debbie was a part of my life for more than half of…

I thought about the vast meanings this phrase could take on. For example, that bowl or dress you are selling in the garage sale no longer…

Leaning on your past.
As another weekend wraps up, I hope it was an okay one for all who read this. I would really love to tell you it was amazing for me but that would not be the honesty that I try to share. It was simply okay and that is enough. It had some amazing moments and…

Today’s post is a message to “faithless”
Hi, I received your comment and assure you I have been responding-just some technical difficulties. Actually, I think it is operational difficulties on my part. I am posting here so you will know you are not alone. Jesus is with us even when it doesn’t feel that way, even when we think we have lost…

Your “ah ha” moment
I hope everyone had a good week or so. It has been a little longer than usual between my blogs but to be honest there have been some hard days for me recently. No particular reason just a struggle with depressed feelings and to be honest no burning desire to share or write. The past…

80 lbs of Wool
Hope everyone is having an Okay week! As I was going through some video clips this week, a You tube video came up about a sheep that was discovered by hikers covered in 80 pounds of wool. The sheep could barely stand let alone walk. He was rescued, cared for, and is now fully recovered…
