Yesterday, I finally got David to dig my hummingbird feeders out of our storage falling…I mean building. As I’ve spent more time outside in recent days, I realized there were several hummingbirds flying around, apparently looking for something to eat/drink. And seeing that I didn’t plant even one outdoor flower this year (don’t judge), theyContinue reading “Ode on a Hummingbird”

It’s Your Choice
Once again, David’s message this morning got me thinking. I always love his messages, but I especially love the ones that cause me to truly explore my own heart and figure out exactly what God is saying to me…personally. David has taught and spoken on this subject since before we married. I’m very familiar withContinue reading “It’s Your Choice”
Mordecai’s Basket
This past Sunday morning, David gave a great message on leadership from John 6…the story of the feeding of the five-thousand, of the loaves and fishes. I love that story. I remember hearing it as a child and being amazed. And I still am. A miracle that thousands witnessed…or did they? I think maybe thereContinue reading “Mordecai’s Basket”
#8
So, my family moved to Cortez, Colorado a little over 22 years ago. I was in my early 30’s, had grown up in the big city of Houston, Texas. I was accustomed to “big city” amenities and luxuries and conveniences. And here we were, moving to a place I’d never heard of in my life. But…itContinue reading “#8”
Enough
I finally finished reading a book I started back in the fall (if you must know, I’m a freaky slow reader…I deal with it.) It’s by one of my favorite authors and you’d think I’d hurry right through it, but…I’m a freaky slow reader. Anywaaays…near the end of the book, she brings up the subjectContinue reading “Enough”
The Pose
“The pose begins when you want to get out of it.” This was a quote I saw today. The girl who said it was referring specifically to ballet and yoga. Wow! What a picture! What a great saying! That’s life. That’s the key to changing or becoming or transforming or finally beginning to reach thatContinue reading “The Pose”
No One Looks Like Their Story
I saw an interview today with a man by the name of Steve Pemberton. He is currently the Chief Diversity Officer and Vice President of Walgreens. Never heard of him before today. Steve was born into poverty and then was passed from foster home to foster home to foster home, to families who only fosteredContinue reading “No One Looks Like Their Story”
The In-Between Day
Saturday. The day after Good Friday. The day before Resurrection Sunday. We don’t call it anything. Oh, traditionally it’s been called things like Great Sabbath, Holy Saturday, Black Saturday, Easter Eve. On this day, the Virgin Mary is referred to as Our Lady of Solitude, referring to her sadness and grief at the death of her son,Continue reading “The In-Between Day”
As The Head Goes…
Today was a first for me. I took a self-defense class for women, specifically. A 6-hour class. With an instructor who doesn’t believe in breaks (just kidding, Brian, if you’re reading this. Love you ❤ ) It was hard work. It was intense. It was like drinking from a fire hose. It was exhausting. ButContinue reading “As The Head Goes…”
Am I the Disadvantaged One?
This is a very off-the-cuff blog entry. I’m literally typing it as I think about it. So if it’s haphazard and doesn’t make sense, that’s why lol David and I are sitting here watching The Voice, one of our favorite shows of all times. (As a footnote, I’m sooooo glad that Pharrell stayed and that myContinue reading “Am I the Disadvantaged One?”
