          “You deserve a break today.”  “You’re worth it!”  “Put yourself first!” “Do something for YOU!”  All of these modern-day adages underscore how obsessed with are in the world with ME, Myself and I.  It’s all about taking care of #1.  In our society today, the message you hear from psychologists, counselors and even advertisersContinue reading “Number 1”

I am still writing! Please don’t give up on me. There were issues on my site, and I couldn’t figure out how to post!! Ugh. Technology is not easy for me; I know some basics, but when there are problems, I usually don’t know what to do. My intelligent and computer savvy hubby helped meContinue reading “Technical issues”

          Well, I’m sure some of you are not going to take kindly to this post.  I’m sure many of you will be upset with me.  I’m praying not.  But it’s what the Lord put on my heart so here goes…  I thought Betty White was an incredible gifted actress…attractive, funny and talented.  I thinkContinue reading “Betty White”

Happy New Year!  It’s still hard to believe that 2022 has begun.  Where does the time go? No, I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth and quit writing.  Just took a longer than normal break. As I pause and think about “new beginnings” and what I want to keep in my routine/life, andContinue reading “First things first”

Is there such a thing?  I don’t believe there is in God’s vocabulary.  But when you and I think of sin, I think we sometimes qualify them and measure them in our minds and spirit.  I know I do. I can easily rationalize in my mind and soul and sometimes think my sin is notContinue reading “Little sins?”

Some of you probably wonder if I just quit writing and gave up my blog.  Definitely not. My hubby and I just returned from a 10-day trip to Greece!  To say it was incredible would be a huge understatement. The first island of Santorini was definitely our favorite.  Our hotel was literally built into theContinue reading “Insignificant and Special”

There have been moments and days in my life when God’s presence is so real.  I’ve experienced countless times when I hear Him speak, just as if He is right beside me in the car or in a room. There are so many specific instances when He’s directed me, and I have known the pathContinue reading “Does God seem far off at times? Silent?”

And then I think of my next example…a personal one. My dad, Henry, was a quiet man; he was one of few words.  And when he spoke, he chose his words carefully. Years ago a family member did something that was a slap in the face to my dad. The family member knew it!  SheContinue reading “Forgiveness – take II”

I have been trying to write this article on forgiveness for a couple of weeks.  The problem is I have so much to say that I don’t really know where to begin.  The other problem is I didn’t really want to write on this topic (for some very personal reasons), but I’m trying to beContinue reading “Forgiveness”

A couple of years ago, I was subbing in a 1st grade class.  Now, you have to understand that I substitute teach at just one elementary school near me.  It’s the school where our son, Nathan, attended.  I love it; the teachers are wonderful!  They are conscientious, devoted, loving and as I always tell others,Continue reading “Stand Out or Fit In?”
