Confession time…I cringe when I hear someone say things like: “I know God’s given me the victory” or “God didn’t bring me here to fail”. Cringe. Probably because I’ve had those same thoughts in the past, I’ve not said those things because I’m not that bold, but I’ve had the thoughts. And in my life, [...]

“…I will not sacrifice to the Lord (that) which cost me nothing.” 2 Samuel 24:24 ***** It’s a long standing joke with The Husband and I that he is just a naturally kind person, born that way, so doing nice things comes easy for him. I, on the other hand, have a couple of go-to [...]

I can make anything complicated. Anything I tell ya. Can I give you an example? If The Husband calls and asks me to meet him for dinner, a simple question requiring a simple answer, right?

The Christmas season magnifies all things. Emotions, experiences…everything is heightened. There’s no discrimination, bliss or sorrow, both become bigger. Some years, when all is well, we laugh and our way through December. Other years, when life is hard, tears replace the laughter. Live long enough and you’ll have both. And after you move through a holiday [...]

Only 5 more days till Christmas! Do you have any traditions you’ll be keeping in the next 5 days? We have one more family time: Christmas Eve! I’ve been doing a bit of baking for that party when our kids, and now granddaughters, come over to open presents, play games and just relax. After lots of [...]

It’s normally around this time in December that I’m tempted to neglect my quiet time and work on my to-do list instead. (Yikes…it’s embarrassing to even type that sentence.) This morning, in the hushed before-dawn moments, right after the alarm clock announces a new day, my thoughts were already screaming for attention. In my head, [...]

If you had only 30 days to live what would you change? I read that question the other day in a book review and time slowed. I knew it was a God-moment. Not that He was telling me that I only had 30 days to live. But I believe He was opening my eyes to [...]
