“God’s people have no assurances that the dark experiences of life will be held at bay, much less that God will provide some sort of running commentary on the meaning of each day’s allotment of confusion, boredom, pain, or achievement. It is no great matter where we are, provided we…

Don’t Forget to Remember
This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day. Yet, we go forward to defend freedom and all…
My Comfort Zone
I love that picture….of the humble home! Actually, I just love “home”! No, our house doesn’t have any chickens but its our little space and it makes me feel good. Don’t get me wrong – I had a great time away for a couple days and really enjoyed being with…
The Refiners Fire
Today, I am meeting At The Well…and the discussion centers around sharing a story about how you have found complete fulfillment in your biblical purpose? For the last three years – since I became a grieving mom – I have thought much (MUCH) about “my purpose”. What could God possibly…
Cheering Her On
Guess who took their first steps?? That’s right…..Miss Roo’s mommy called yesterday to say that Riley had taken four steps!! Honestly, if she had swum the English Channel, I could not have been more tickled!! How exciting! I couldn’t wait to get on the phone to call her aunt and…
The Regretted Dessert
Sugar! Sugar! Everywhere…..have you ever noticed that sugar is in just about everything! Its unbelievable! I have recently begun to “give up” sugar and, let me tell you, it is a much bigger task than I originally imagined – mainly, because sugar is hidden in so many things. Getting sugar…
A View of the Heart
I mentioned yesterday that our sweet pup got sick on Sunday evening. He started with a wheeze/gag/reverse cough combo symptom that was very pitiful to hear. Of course, it was the weekend and we went back and forth as to whether to take him to the all-night emergency clinic but…
Enjoying Sunny Weather…and a Winner, Too!
It is an absolutely gorgeous day outside today! I love waking up to these kind of mornings…I can most easily remember “Life is Good!!” There is much to do today in order to get ready for the fundraiser and I’m excited about it all! Yes, this is going to be…
Excited About the Dentist
My little buddy, David, had a dentist’s appointment yesterday…his very first one! He has been waiting for this appointment for weeks and we were excitedly looking forward to his visit the night before after our evening service. Just to be a tease, my hubbie told David to “beware the drill”!!…
Iron sharpeneth Iron
Over At the Well today, the discussion is about being a friend with our husband. I thought about this quite a bit last night and then saw this morning, today’s writer had chosen the same verse I had in mind – but that certainly wasn’t planned and I’ll share my…
The Folded Napkin
I wish I could say this post is “original” but this was actually forwarded to my husband – and it listed no author – but I so enjoyed it…I thought I would pass it along. The question was why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection as…
Perseverance
I enjoy stopping by “the well” on Mondays but didn’t yesterday because I was struggling with the topic…..perseverance! The discussion questions were “What are some ways that you have persisted when you have been knocked down? How have these circumstances brought glory to the Father?” Honestly, this is something I…
