After the defeat by Ai, Joshua (like many of us) cried out to God, “Why?” You might be familiar with the story. God told Joshua there was sin in the camp. “Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and… Read More Hidden in the Tent
Fridays are often reserved for Five Minute Friday; however, on mornings when I volunteer, it can be challenging to get a post up and running before I have to get out the door. This week is one of those Fridays. This week has also been “one of those weeks” and I considered not even posting. … Read More A Memory of My Mom
When it comes to a plan, I typically think of four “people” involved. Those people might better be seen as necessary parts to the plan and the plan could refer to all types of things – but anything that starts as with an idea until it is executed or finished.

Live Large. That’s it – the sign above my desk. I see it every morning and multiple times throughout the day. A daily reminder to live large. To seize the day. To embrace a new day and make the most of it. To dream big and then work to make it happen. All of which… Read More Looking for a New Sign

It has been spring in all her glory… Read More So Much More Than I Think Possible

We even had the first fertilizer applied yesterday so even the… Read More Turning My Thoughts to Dad
It began in late November. We watched a Hallmark Christmas movie. And then another. And then, well you guessed it, it became quite the habit. Or, at least, a regular part of our December evening routine. I dare to count how many of those movies we watched (in many ways, the same movie. They just… Read More Refuse to Live Distracted
Fridays – as often as I am able – are for Five Minute Friday. Or FMF:) It is a weekly link-up hosted by Kate Motaung and not only has a wonderful community but is also a wonderful writing exercise. A prompt is given each Friday morning and, as Kate describes it, the idea is to… Read More His Example for My Morning
Friday – and time for another Five Minute Friday which is just about all I have time for this morning. Five minutes. And today’s prompt is: HELP. When I read it, I immediately began humming. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord… Read More Lift Your Eyes Unto the Hills
