Good Monday morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday yesterday. Our forecast all week had been for rain. And it did eventually rain yesterday, but the weather in the morning was beautiful. The skies were clear and the temperature was very pleasant for a sunrise service. (There have…

Happy Hump Day! And happy first day of April! It is official, I survived winter. March can sometimes be sneaky (and we did, indeed, have some snow last month) but all that is behind me when I turn the calendar to April. I do hope the nice weather we have…

Good Monday Morning 03.22.26
Happy Monday, friend! How was your weekend? The weather was so pretty here, I just had to spend as much time as possible outside. I should have taken a hike. Raked the last of fall’s remnants from the back flowerbed. Something productive. But, I did not. I simply enjoyed both…

Anchored: The Truth of Transforming Grace
The comparison trap. I’ve blogged about it before. More than a few times. But here is a one such post. One from way back in the day and one that is, well, a little bit embarrassing. I certainly hope that, given the circumstances again, I would not respond quite as …

Hodge Podge: On Salads and Shakespeare
Well, this was supposed to a different post. One of two different post ideas I have rolling through my brain. And neither of those have come together. I totally blame the weather. It is just too pretty to be sitting in front of my computer. My heart hurts for those…

Polite Society
I grew up saying “Yes, ma’am/No, Ma’am” and “Yes, sir/No, Sir.” Both at home and at school. My children grew up doing the same. At their Christian school, it was even in the handbook. Not only was it second nature to us, but it was an ingrained habit. Sadly, on…
