I’m re-watching a fave Netflix series…and early in season one, this phrase was spoken: “Tears are the holiest of waters.” This COMPLETELY jumped out at me and consumed my brain activity for quite a while. One character said this to her best-friend character…hoping to give some perspective to the emotions she was experiencing. I simplyContinue reading “The Holiest of Waters”

Today is 9/11. Today is September 11, 2018. Today is a day in history that changed everything: September 11, 2001. On that day, I was just a few days from my 40th birthday. On that day, my son…my only child…was at the beginning of his 6th grade in school. On that day…..everything seemed alright inContinue reading “9/11/01….or today.”

David and I got the precious opportunity to make a road trip this past weekend, to see our one-and-only son and his fiancé-girl. As we traveled the boring roads, I continued reading in a book that I had started reading out loud with him several months ago. This was a good opportunity to read someContinue reading “Cuckoo!”

  Yesterday, David and I listened to a Steven Curtis Chapman song from way back called “The Great Adventure.” We used it at Rock Springs years ago in attempt to inspire and encourage and excite the believers in our sphere of influence to look at life and God’s work as very much a great adventure!Continue reading “Broken. Bruised. Scarred.”

Today. This day. Today would have been my sweet father-in-love’s…Brad Ramsey’s…80th birthday. 80!!! I can hardly even imagine it! On the other hand…I can totally imagine it. I was so stinkin’ blessed with my birth-daddy, Charles Wayne Greenup, who loved, and to this day, loves me unconditionally. I’ve got stories. I’ve got proof. Out ofContinue reading “This Day.”

Last week, me and 12 of my besties went to California for the PDC…Purpose Driven Church Conference. I will leave my learnings, findings and gleanings for another time. Suffice it to say…it was the bestest! One morning, we had arrived on the church campus to find our place in line to enter the auditorium andContinue reading ““See what happens when you open your mouth?””

David and I have been through some tough stuff. Some of you know what tough stuff. Some don’t. But years ago, amidst the stuff, we weren’t doing well as a couple, and we sought help through an amazing Christian counselor that we have recently reconnected with again…and thanked him for literally saving our marriage. ToContinue reading “Shoulda. Woulda. Coulda.”

(Don’t worry. This isn’t about parenthood. Or childhood. Or anything of the sort. ) I’ve just recently started watching the series “Parenthood”…as prompted by my dear sister. I’m only on Season 1, Episode 2, so don’t judge…yet. (And just so you know, I’m hooked already!) I just finished watching this specific episode (S1E2) and thereContinue reading “Parenthood…and stuff”

Gilmore Girls. So I finished episode 22 of season 7. (Not even to the new ones yet.) I. Can’t. Even. When my sister and other friends recommended this show to me, I wasn’t sure that I’d enjoy it as much as they did. They have daughters. I don’t have a daughter.  I have a sisterContinue reading “Ramsey Girl and Boy”

My sweet mother-in-love, Becky, sent me a video of Gloria Gaither (of Bill & Gloria…the couple that’s written more gospel songs than anyone on the planet.) In this video, she’s telling a friend “God is in the interruptions.” I just love what she says. And even though Becky kindly said to me, “She sounds likeContinue reading “Interruptions (by Gloria Gaither)”
