Growing up as kids, any time we got hurt, we would run to our moms or dads because we knew they’d offer the comfort and help we needed. We also knew they would hold on to us. Now as adults when I have issues, I want to talk to with others, and rightly so. But… Continue reading Hold Me

Drop It!
Today, I was blessed to go to a vintage marketplace with my two sisters. We had a blast looking for unique things in each booth, laughing and just spending time together. We came across one booth filled with blocks of wood with different words or Bible verses. Sometimes there were just words with a Bible… Continue reading Drop It!
Alarm!
It has been said, “If you have to ask if you can do or wear something, then you probably shouldn’t.” When I was working at schools, fire / smoke alarms always had to be tested, just like we should at home. We were warned and tried to prepare the students for the loud sound. They… Continue reading Alarm!
Getting There

Often times after we experience the death of a loved one, it seems as if time has stopped. We see everyone living their daily lives moving from even to event, but we are stuck in a time warp. We are stuck on May 25th or September 9th or whatever day is ingrained in our brains… Continue reading I Remember
Who Else
Who else has held the oceans in His hand? Who has measured off the heavens with His fingers?Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale? (Isaiah 40:12 NLT) Praise the Lord!
The Gummies
One of the things I really love is gummy bears, soft and fresh that almost melt in your mouth. Ahh! But…I don’t eat them very often. They aren’t good for me because they have too much sugar. Often sin is like that. Something that feels good, looks good, comforts us but is clearly wrong for… Continue reading The Gummies
Transitions
Technology these days is amazing in some ways. Take for instance eye glasses. Have you ever seen someone wearing glasses who goes outside and their glasses become darker like sunglasses? Amazing! The lenses go from clear to dark almost immediately and are called Transitions. I am in a transition right now. Perhaps we all are… Continue reading Transitions

At school we are always telling the students, “Just because a thought is in your mind, doesn’t mean it has to come out of your mouth.” I think we all need to remember this and not just 5 year olds! I know I do! Most of the time, people say things that are kind and… Continue reading 0.01%
