This is mainly for the ladies…but it applies to men, too. Have you ever looked at someone older than you…especially a senior-aged woman…and seen something in her that you admire? When David and I first married, we went on a couple of road trips with his parents and his maternal grandmother, Lillian, who I’ve writtenContinue reading “Be Now”

Disclaimer (aren’t you tired of these?): If you haven’t watched much or any of the show, “Stranger Things” on Netflix, and don’t want spoilers or details you haven’t reached yet, STOP NOW! Or forever hold your tongue! ———————————————— David and I got totes hooked on a Netflix original this last fall called “Stranger Things”. Take theContinue reading “The Upside Down”

  For some reason, I really had my two sweet grandmothers on my mind today. Not exactly sure why, except that…well, I just thought of them. On the same day. This day. The only way I can explain it was based on two simple activities..I was putting away dishes from the dishwasher and putting away aContinue reading “Keep The Important Things”

“There, but for the grace of God, go I.” A statement of humility…a statement that recognizes our own weaknesses…a statement that defines the very life we live day by day by day. Simply put (and as the Cambridge Dictionary defines it), “something said when something bad that has happened to someone else could have happened to you.” I got really bad news today.Continue reading “but for the grace of God”

I wrote a blog many years ago (iWeb days) entitled “The Lost Art of Letter Writing”, but for some reason, the desire to get back to the basics of “old-school” communication, is stronger right now than ever before. To say I’m tired of Facebook and emails and texts to communicate important, sensitive words…is an understatement. ThoseContinue reading “Pen To Paper”

I. LOVE. MY. SON. There…I said it. No shame. He’s my only child. No regrets. I love to hear from him. He’s busy, so I know that when I do hear from him, it’s a pretty darn big deal…he’s taking time out of his busyness to contact his momma. I can’t begin to tell you theContinue reading “Make A Connect”

This is gonna be short, but I hope sweet…and helpful. Tonight, David and I went to Date Night at church. And I took one big thing away from it… ”One less thing”… The “one big thing” The dude on the video said that a way to stay connected as a couple is to think ofContinue reading “One. Less. Thing.”

Acts 20:35 (NLT) “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Years ago, David and I read the book “The Five Love Languages”. If you’ve never read it, you should. It opens up a whole new door on why you feel loved sometimes and why you don’t…why others around you feel loved by youContinue reading “More Blessed”

Sunday, we did a new song at church for the first time. Never Gonna Stop Singing. OH MY GOSH!! It’s my new very favorite worship song. Here are the lyrics: You called out into darkness You reached out to save me Set free, no longer bound in chains You rescued me, and called me byContinue reading “Sing, Sing A Song”

Once again…and those of you who know me well know how many times I’ve attempted this and basically failed…I’m going through papers and folders and books and stacks and everything trying to scale down and simplify and throw away the countless caca that I have accumulated over the years. I’ve thrown away much in theContinue reading “Suck At Something”
