October is Pastor & Church Staff Appreciation Month. I personally believe that we should appreciate our pastors every month. But it’s nice to have a specific time to really think about pastors and honor them and hold them in high regard for what they are called to do. As a pastor’s wife, I feel IContinue reading “Pastor Appreciation Month”

I was asked by a dear friend to please do a “birthday blog”…so, since my audience awaits (at least one…) This past Monday, I turned 55. A speed limit. Double nickels. I qualify for the 10% discount at Jiffy Lube. Five years past half a century, which means that I’ve already passed “middle age,” because IContinue reading “fifty-five…and counting”

Disclaimer: I cannot even completely express the overwhelming joy, relief, take-a-deep-breath feeling I’m experiencing knowing that my husband literally walked away from a could-have-been-fatal car accident…and that the couple in the truck that hit him also walked away relatively unscathed. So as you read this blog, know that I am in no way lessening theContinue reading “Little Blue”

I recently had the amazing privilege of staying a night at a dear friend’s house…she and her husband lived in Cortez and attended and served faithfully at Rock Springs…and, for economic reasons, had to move to another town, thankfully still in Colorado. I have missed them both immeasurably. So this was a God-gift to getContinue reading “What’s Your Thorn?”

(After our conversation, David told me in no uncertain terms, “This should be your next blog.” So when the hubs speaks, I try to listen…sometimes) Last night, I told David something I have never told him in our 34 years of marriage. No, not some deep secret I was hiding or some huge bank account I’dContinue reading “On The Wringing of Dishcloths”

[SPOILER ALERT: If you have NOT seen “Finding Dory” and you intend to, do not read this post until after you’ve seen it. If you HAVE seen it, or if you have no intention of ever seeing it, go ahead a proceed. Be forewarned…lol] David and I went to see Finding Dory tonight. He hadContinue reading “Shell Trails”

****Disclaimer: This post is in by no means meant to be “judgmental” or “critical” of anyone…because I am as guilty as the next person. But when God convicts me of something and tells me to share it, I share it. No shame…all love here. End of story….**** •••••••• This year, I decided to read throughContinue reading “Do You Mean It?”

  Today marks our 34th anniversary of being a married couple. Thirty. Four. Years. June 5, 1982 The year doesn’t end in a “0” or a “5”…it’s not a typical “landmark” year…but we are not promised tomorrow, so I will treat this as a landmark year. #everymomentisprecious I told David earlier this week that I believeContinue reading “This Man…”

This is a uber-condensed version of the message I brought on Mother’s Day, 2007. Hard to imagine that it’s been 9 years since then. Entering into Mother’s Day weekend, I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy! ❤ ——————————– Have you ever had to sit through the night with someone? Several years ago, a close friendContinue reading “NIGHT SHIFT”

I am a great starter! I can start things. I do really well at starting. On the other hand, I am a lousy finisher. I have so many projects in and around my house that I have started that are nowhere near finished. Goals that I start toward and I get distracted along the way.Continue reading “On Finishing”
