I really like genealogy. The discoveries, the plots of people’s lives, and the whys are so fascinating! Last Sunday during the sermon, our minister said one time he was asked to think of one perfect family in the Bible. He couldn’t. I couldn’t either. Can you? There are no perfect people and therefore, no perfect… Continue reading Imperfection

What scares you? Really… What takes your breath away when you see it because you fear it so much? We’ve gotten into watching a show called Dirty Jobs. You’ve probably seen it or at least heard about it, but the host, Mike Rowe, finds people who do what he calls dirty jobs. On the episode… Continue reading Just Take a Deep Breath!
Get Back Up!
A while back someone I love so very much was going through some tough times, to put it mildly. Thanks be to God, they made it out alive and are better for their struggles. I have heard it said we are either going into a struggle, living in a struggle, or coming out of a… Continue reading Get Back Up!

We can stand tall in a crowd. We can stand up for what is right. We can make a difference!

Then even if they… Continue reading Stand Tall

Pride and Prejudice has been made several times, but my favorite remake is the 1995, 6 hour miniseries with Colin Firth. The other movie that I love… Continue reading Found
Rock It!
Do you have moments you regret not speaking up or being able to say the right thing? Then, later thinking back on the situation, you come up with the words you wished you’d said? I do this all the time. Sometimes, it seems my brain isn’t working fast enough. Then, there are those times when… Continue reading Rock It!

There’s a scene in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes when Evelyn visits her old friend, Mrs. Threadgoode on her birthday. They end up talking about death and Evelyn admits how it scares her. Mrs. Threadgoode says she isn’t scared to die. I think a lot about death, specifically, my own. Perhaps you think that is… Continue reading The Dash

There’s a river in Heaven where the Tree of Life stands. People in history have always tried to settle near a river. Towns were built on… Continue reading Rivers
