In past posts I have talked about change. How hard it can be, but also how exciting it can be. One of the changes going on right now some of you may not know about is my job. I “retired” from Ezell-Harding when our youngest daughter graduated in 2018. I didn’t work last year (at… Continue reading Beginnings
Sing It Out!
I love to watch The Andy Griffith Show! They don’t make shows like that any more. Last night we were invited to some friends’ house for a time of worship with only singing. If you’ve read my blogs, you know I love music and love to sing but can’t do one and am not very… Continue reading Sing It Out!
From Jesus
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid,” -Jesus
Outside/Inside
When you have a loved one who is dying or has died, people say all kinds of things. Some are helpful, and some are hurtful. You have to remind yourself that people mean well and move on from it. When my daddy was dying, I will never forget one thing a friend told me. I… Continue reading Outside/Inside
Just DON’T Do It!
What do you do when you hit rock bottom? When you’re at the end of your rope? When your mind cannot think of anything else to get out of a situation? When there seems to be no last resort? No hope?

I often think about what it would have been like to be face to face with Jesus every day and night as one of his followers when He was here on the earth. I think in most ways it would have been too wonderful for words. However, I also know He would have looked at… Continue reading The Answer

They say our kitchen rags and sponges are full of bacteria. A typical kitchen sponge has 54 billion bacteria per cubic centimeter! Makes you want to go throw it away, doesn’t it? But this is what we are like according to Isaiah 64:6 in the NIV. It says: All of us have become like one… Continue reading Filthy
Unseen
At what age do we learn things are not always as they seem? When do we come to know we have to dig deeper to find truth? Last week on a trip, I went to a known taxidermy place in North Carolina. I had heard people talk about it and how wonderful it is. When… Continue reading Unseen
One Thing
What is your One Thing? There was a movie from the 1990’s called City Slickers. Perhaps you saw it and remember how funny it was. The gist of the story is a man and his friends are having their ‘mid-life crises’ and go on a cattle drive. Even though it is a comedy, there are… Continue reading One Thing
