Once upon a time… We’ve all seen them or read them. The fairy tale movies and books where the prince gets the princess and the ogre gets what’s coming to him. If you don’t know, I teach library at a private school. I have done this for several years and enjoy it very much! One… Continue reading Fractured

Seasons
When I am in Nashville, I like to listen to the Oldies radio station. Other times I listen on a music app on my phone. The other day I was driving along listening when a song, Seasons in the Sun, came on I haven’t heard in so long. It actually made me tear up! I… Continue reading Seasons
Wondrous Story!
I often blog about music. I love to remember my Daddy singing in worship, and I often wake with a song in my mind and on my heart. It seems in the church today, there is some controversy between the ‘new’ songs and the ‘older’ more traditional songs. There are good in both! Our congregation,… Continue reading Wondrous Story!
No Big Deal
Have you ever been with someone when he or she died? It is an extremely (I am struggling here to find the right word) compelling event. Why are we so fascinated with death? It is the great unknown. We are sometimes scared of it, and we don’t talk about it much. But we are all… Continue reading No Big Deal
Simply Gone
Enoch walked steadily with God. And then one day he was simply gone: God took him. Genesis 5:24 The Message There was probably nothing simple about it. Were there search parties? Did his family know where he had gone? Did they mourn his disappearance? Did they know he walked with God…steadily? Perhaps they did and… Continue reading Simply Gone
I Wonder…
Have you ever seen something and wondered, “What was that person thinking?” or “Why did he do that?” On the way to my job, I usually take the back roads. It is a couple of minutes longer, but the drive is nice since there is less traffic and beautiful scenery. The first time I drove… Continue reading I Wonder…
Outlook
If we allow ourselves, we can all sit down and have our very own pity party. We can all come up with things to complain about and depress ourselves. Yesterday, I went to the grocery store here in Columbia. There is one I particularly like because it has that home town feeling…like being in Mayberry.… Continue reading Outlook
5 Second Rule
Sometimes we joke when we drop food and pick it up saying, “Five second rule!” We then think it’s okay to eat it. I guess it depends on what the food item is, how bad we want it, and what the floor looks like! In 1 Samuel 3 verse 19, it says: The Lord was with Samuel as… Continue reading 5 Second Rule
Just Give Me Jesus!
When my oldest daughter was a freshman in college, she was having a difficult time because she’d never had a boyfriend or even a date. One day as she was venting, her roommate told her to list everything she wanted in a man; every characteristic. So, she did. When she showed the list to her… Continue reading Just Give Me Jesus!
Strong Enough
I’m not strong enough. I never will be. This earthly body began to die when it arrived. Just like yours did. My Bible reading this morning was the story of Gideon. It has been a while since I’d read about him. He took up God’s fight, but like I do, he questioned God as to… Continue reading Strong Enough
