Often, I have heard my sister say when asked how she is doing, “Well, I’m on the top side of the flower bed!” I agree with her most days, although there are a lot of days when I know, I KNOW!, I’d be much better off in the flower bed because my soul will be… Continue reading Six Feet Under

With Many a Flirt and Flutter
It is said if a bird gets in your house, there will be a death soon. I don’t think that is true because when I was a kid a bird flew into our house. I remember my brother trying to shoo it out the door while it flew around like the crazy trapped creature it… Continue reading With Many a Flirt and Flutter
Trapped
As I am out and about on our farm, I realize there are so many lessons that parallel with a spiritual life. On the farm as you can imagine, we have many good and not so good animals. Some that are beautiful and some that could harm you if provoked. One such animal that most… Continue reading Trapped
Comfort
To me there’s not much better than clean, cool, and comfortable sheets to slip into at night. I love having a cold room and then snuggling into blankets to sleep. When I was a young girl, I can remember getting a blanket and climbing on the back of our couch to take a nap. We… Continue reading Comfort
Who Cares?
According to BibleGateway.com, the word ‘heart’ appears 725 times in the NIV. I believe it is a very important word today as well as when Jesus walked this earth. I believe the heart is the key to almost everything. We need to have ‘heart’ for doing scary and difficult things. Here in the south we… Continue reading Who Cares?

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sinWould look on me with loveAnd watch me rise… Continue reading I Am Yours
The Slaves
I have done a lot of genealogy work. I need to get back into it because there’s always more to find, and I enjoy discovering treasures. The details of my genealogy are out there on the internet so others can see the information and contact me. I had a contact on one occasion. My phone… Continue reading The Slaves
Cakewalk
There are many euphemisms used in the English language when we speak. Many we say and never know where they actually come from or who said them first. Yesterday listening to the sermon at worship, our minister used ‘cakewalk’ which put my mind to wondering where in the world that term originated. I always thought… Continue reading Cakewalk
Alone
Last week we were blessed to spend time in the Smoky Mountains. Besides the beach, the mountains are a place I love to visit. We saw my name sake, Mountain Laurel, some black bears, turkey, and deer. We toured Cades Cove and hiked up to the top of Clingmans Dome which is the highest point… Continue reading Alone
The Fight
One of the ways satan wants to hurt God and us is to steal our joy any way he can. I’ve discovered one of those ways, at least for me, is to remind me just how unworthy I am of God’s love and salvation. I am only a human with an imperfect physical body that… Continue reading The Fight
