As of today, it’s been one month since my Momma left this earth. Up to now, I’ve counted in days. From here on out, I’ll probably continue to mark it in months, then it’ll be years, and, if I live that long, decades. But I will always count how long it’s been. I’ve had aContinue reading “Since You’ve Been Gone”

Y’all, I’ve needed to write something for a while, but just haven’t known what. God hasn’t been giving me anything to write about. But he sure is talking to me a lot. My mom is going through some health issues and this is giving me a great bit of concern…so my quiet life has beenContinue reading “In The Meantime”

Because of this quarantine/shelter-in-place/isolation/“house arrest” (as one friend calls it lol), we are prone (as we humans are) to get into harmful habits when under pressure and stress and uncertainty. I’m saying this because of the tendency I personally fall into if I’m not painfully and carefully aware of myself. Be very careful not toContinue reading “Un…/ Un…/ Un…”

Had a whole other door I was going to walk through with you today…and it was good. But I just thought I better let y’all in on some personal struggles I’m having during this time. Just being real. Last night, I had an emotional breakdown. Suddenly, everything seemed to just come together as a “perfectContinue reading “When It Becomes Too Much”

Mark 6:45-52 (NLT) “Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and head across the lake to Bethsaida, while he sent the people home. After telling everyone good-bye, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. “Late that night, the disciples were in their boat in the middleContinue reading “Stormy Crossings, the Sequel”

Today we’re going to talk about another crossing. It’s found in the book of Mark, chapter 4. Here’s the story: “Late that day he said to them, ‘Let’s go across to the other side.’ They took him in the boat as he was. Other boats came along. A huge storm came up. Waves poured intoContinue reading “Stormy Crossings”

I love Bear Grylls. Do you love Bear Grylls? A lot of people love Bear Grylls. David and I have watched LOTS of his shows about survival in all kinds of conditions. How to catch a skunk, how to eat things you catch (including a skunk), how to sanitize your own urine to drink (ick!),Continue reading “Crossings”

  One day, life is good. The sun is shining. The early Spring birds are singing. Your job is going great. Your family is getting along. Your husband (or wife) made you breakfast in bed. Your youngest told you he loved you for the first time last night. Then suddenly, something happens in our worldContinue reading “When Fear Overwhelms”

  I had a whole other blog written to send out on the subject of New Year Resolutions…then God grabbed my ear and redirected me down a whole other road. I’ve made basically the same resolutions every New Year since I was probably in my early 20’s. I’m not gonna tell you what they are,Continue reading “Happy Re-New Year”
