Picture it. A cute little puppy dog. And after the puppy dog comes to know you, his little tail will start wagging and wagging every time he sees you. Sometimes you start to think if he wags it any harder it will just fly off! A puppy wagging his tail is very cute; however one … More My Puppy-Dog Tongue
No, I’m not at all relating this post to the hilarious movie back in the 1990’s called What About Bob?. Rather I’m talking about one of my stepdads, Bill. Back in the 1980’s there was a song entitled “Lookin’ For Love in All the Wrong Places.” Now while that certainly applied to me many, many … More What About Bill?
Two tough things: Being still; and knowing – I mean really knowing – a person. First off, being still. I love to have just quiet sometimes. By quiet I mean no TV, no music, just quiet. Even when I was younger and still in school (yes, that was a long time ago), I couldn’t have … More Be Still … And Know
Do you ever get just totally disgusted with yourself? With your actions? With your speech? AARGH! I really hate to admit it, but instead of giving people mercy and grace when I meet them, a lot of the time I find the wrong thoughts swirling around in my head. But then, of course, the gentle … More Blessings Even When I’m Feeling Bad
Do you think God listens to us, and really cares what we think? Do you think your opinions matter to Him? “Well, He already knows my heart,” you might say (Acts 15:8). That’s true. But that in no way means He doesn’t want open communication with you. He desires a relationship with you! Jesus calls … More God, Do You Really Care?
When we moved to Texas from the west coast 4 years ago we were able to buy a house on a golf course. This at the time was a dream for us, as when there are no golfers on the course (which isn’t often), it’s like having a huge backyard. However one day I looked … More Running With The Pack
Think about this: If you really love someone, don’t you want to shower upon them wonderful gifts – even unexpected gifts? If you’re a parent, don’t you want to give your children all that you can give them, especially when they obey you? But what about your parents: Did they shower you with gifts and … More Who’s Your Daddy?
Yay – we were set to take a road trip for a long Memorial Day weekend up to Harrison Hot Springs in British Columbia! Gary, Jeffrey and I were excited to get away, and the place looked beautiful, right on a lake! We figured we’d take our time and stop after a few hours to … More God Shows Up Again & Again!
How many of you have decided at one point or the other that it’s up to you to bring someone into a saving relationship with Jesus? I hope there’s more people out there than just me! Unfortunately that happened with my mother… I wrote a bit about mom and her background back in January 2016 … More Trying To “Save” Mom
Really – we were parents! Gary quickly became one of the proudest fathers I’d ever seen. I couldn’t believe how he would boast about Matthew and how blessed we were to have had him. And me? I could not believe how my priorities were changing. I was a mom and loving it! I had previously … More Becoming Totally Saturated With Love…
