The last month, and especially the last week, we have been bombarded with heavy “LOVE” messages. Heck, WalMart literally had their Valentine’s aisle halfway complete before Christmas Day…December 23rd, to be exact (I have photo proof if you want it). Pinkness and redness have been nauseatingly displayed in every form: cards, flowers, candies, sweaters, cereal, sunglasses,Continue reading “The Miracle of Love”

Today in my Bible reading, I read the story at the end of Mark 4 – the story about Jesus calming the wind and the waves. If you’ve been in church 10 minutes in your life, you’ve probably heard that story. It’s a popular story, especially for little kids, because it’s fun to tell theContinue reading “It Was His Idea”

Four years ago today, I may have died…for a minute. I was awfully close if I didn’t. I was on my 7th day of heavy sedation, in a coma, after being admitted to the hospital a week before for double pneumonia that went south very, very rapidly. One day I’ll write a complete story about all myContinue reading “Time is Short”

Anyone younger than me probably doesn’t recognize that title…because I know I was just a wee baby when Flip Wilson made that line popular (hehe)….. For the last three Wednesday nights at Inside/Out, our weekly gathering of teenagers at Rock Springs Church, we’ve been studying the idea of judgment. “Judgment Call” The first two weeksContinue reading ““Here Come Da Judge””

Yesterday, David’s message at church was on the “…Father…” part of the Disciple’s prayer…The Lord’s Prayer. (Matthew 6:9-13) The word “father” brings up emotions in me that I can neither control nor explain…at least not in the way my heart truly feels. Fifty-something and some years ago, I was born to a young dad. Without going intoContinue reading “My Two Dads”

Ok, so…I had to go to the DMV today. (And anyone who is a writer just HAS to write about the experience if they’ve been.) I’d almost rather go to the dentist or the gynecologist or the proctologist before going to the DMV. But I had to renew my driver’s license. And yes, I couldContinue reading “Lessons from the DMV”

Don’t worry…I’m not quitting blogging. I’m only just beginning. “Quit.” It’s not a popular word. Or idea. Or concept. (Ok, I’ll “quit” finding synonyms.) We don’t like to quit. We label ourselves quitters or failures…or we’re afraid someone else will. No one wants to be a quitter. But so often, we find ourselves stuck in that littleContinue reading “I Quit!!”

We’re leaving in about 7 hours to head south for Christmas. I’ve been spending the evening up to now making sure clothes were washed and dishes were put away and the table clear of wrapping and tissue paper (to keep our cat Lucy from being tempted to play and shred too much in our absence)…packingContinue reading “Oh The Places We’ll Go”
