When is the last time you were overwhelmed by God? Were you standing at the ocean? Were you looking into the eyes of your spouse or child? Were you looking at the storm on the horizon? Were you looking at the awesome colors of the sunrise or sunset? Were you looking in the mirror and… Continue reading Overwhelmed

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like crowds. They make me feel claustrophobic, and after a while it seems to take my breath away and I cannot breathe. I guess they make me feel like I’m having a panic attack. When you hear the word surrounded, do you think of positive or negative… Continue reading Surrounded

I’ve mentioned before in my blog about growing up with 3 older siblings and having to listen to their music. That is why I like music from the 60’s and 70’s. There is a song by the Steve Miller Band called Time Keeps On Slippin‘ that I thought a lot about yesterday. It’s been years… Continue reading Slippin’

I can remember going to the circus only once or twice in my lifetime. I don’t care for clowns, so it’s not my favorite place to be entertained. When you’re at the circus, there’s a lot going on at one time. Animals, clowns, trapeze, and others are all going about the arena doing their things… Continue reading The Circus

My Daddy’s hands were so soft! Even though he worked a lot around the house and on our cars, you could rub his hand and feel its smoothness and softness. I often think of God this way, like my Daddy. I had a great Daddy. He wasn’t perfect by any means, but I loved him… Continue reading God’s Hand

Someone once said the worst invention ever made was the garage door opener. We open our garage, drive in, and never speak to anyone. Our neighbor never, ever leaves his house except to walk his dog right outside his front door. He works from home. He has his groceries delivered. He has all his food… Continue reading Warning, You May Be Offended

Do you ever wonder why God gave us the ability to remember? Overall, are you glad He did, or do you wish He hadn’t? Do you wish others didn’t have a memory and so wouldn’t be able to remember all the wrong things you’ve said and done in the past? As I come upon the… Continue reading Remember?

At our farm God has given us, we have a small 500 square foot cabin tucked in the trees on the side of a hill where we stay when we are there and while our house is being built. It was build by our friend, Keith, who is a great guy and thankfully kind of… Continue reading The Cabin

Do you love when you are expecting company? Or does it stress you out?! When we are having visitors, we do a lot of preparing. We clean our bathrooms, kitchen, den, and vacuum the areas. We make sure our house smells good. And perhaps we put on some good clothes. I cannot help ask, how… Continue reading The Visitor

Isn’t God amazing! Sometimes when we praise Him in prayer, the words don’t seem good enough, big enough. Around our little cabin in Columbia, there are a lot of plants that attract butterflies. This little beauty rode with me on the mower for about 30 minutes yesterday. I was taken in by its tenacity to… Continue reading Amazed
