Trouble. We all have it sometimes. It’s meaning can be different to people and situations. I find the definitions interesting. Trouble – difficulty or problems; public unrest or disorder; cause distress or anxiety to. The first, difficulty or problems, we have all faced and perhaps go through daily from choices we make or others make… Continue reading Trouble

Erasers
I have a confession. I love pens. Ink pens. I love all colors. The more colorful, the better! When I was in school, we weren’t allowed to write with pens, probably because of all the mistakes we made. Pencils were the only writing instrument we could use, and it had to be #2! Remember them?… Continue reading Erasers
Nash
Have you ever really sat down and given some serious thought as to what makes you happy? Is it the sunshine, being at the pool or lake, seeing the white snow, your kids or grandkids, a good cup of coffee, a moist piece of coconut cake, a pet? What makes you truly happy? My sister… Continue reading Nash
Speak It!
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty who was, and is, and is to come. You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being. Revelation 4
I’ve Seen Jesus My Lord
In previous blogs I’ve talked about the ocean, how I love it and the memories of going each year with my family when I was growing up. One year we went to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina when I was a kid. I don’t remember anything about that trip except for one very important incident that… Continue reading I’ve Seen Jesus My Lord
Like Sands Through the Hourglass
A few days ago, I learned someone I knew about 35 years in my past had died. This was a person who I saw regular enough to know the job he had was very difficult and under-appreciated. It had made him very hard, but on occasion my friends and I saw a different side. I… Continue reading Like Sands Through the Hourglass
On Fire
One of my favorite movies is The Last of the Mohicans (1992). There is one scene where Cora and Hawkeye are able to steal away from the fighting. As they sit together looking over the fort where they see injury, hunger, burning, and pain, Cora says “The whole world’s on fire, isn’t it?” Sometimes it… Continue reading On Fire
Deep Muddy Waters
This past weekend we were blessed to go camping with some family and friends. We had a great time with beautiful weather! It was good to get away from the disruptions going on in life. On Saturday we went down to the river to try our hands at fishing. My husband and I purchased a… Continue reading Deep Muddy Waters
Disruptions!
As I type this blog post, I hear hammering, noisy men, generators, heavy boots walking, and other typical construction noise. We are in the process of finishing our attic into an apartment, and all the men are here working…contractor, electricians, carpenters, and AC men. While I’m thrilled we are finishing the attic and will have… Continue reading Disruptions!
Stand or Sit?
A few years ago, I had a job as a physical education assistant for a few hours each day. The boss at that time would not let us sit during those hours. It is amazing how much toll it takes on a body. Back, feet, and knees all suffered enough to make me quit in… Continue reading Stand or Sit?
