Growing up I really can’t recall whether I ever thought of having kids someday. Things weren’t always happy around our home (or at school for that matter), so I probably put most of my energy into just making it through each day. However like a lot of couples, after my husband and I had been … More Not Quite What We Thought
Have you ever stuck your fingers together with superglue? Ugh… But as irritating as it is, eventually you can get your fingers pried back apart. A lot of people use nail polish remover, but you can also keep running really warm water over your fingers and soon it will disintegrate the glue. However it’s still … More The Ultimate Superglue
I have to admit there have been more than a few times in my life when I found myself thinking, “If I were God, I’d be zapping that person into oblivion right now!” Not good – but haven’t you been there too? Thankfully God is God and I’m not; because at times my lack of … More Thankfully I’m Not God
As I begin this post, I’m flashing back. I’m flashing back to when our son Jeffrey was still in grade school – back when I still believed I knew more than anyone else about how he should be raised. And yes, that included God… I started thinking about this when I came across John 6:38, … More God’s Will, Not Mine – Ouch, That’s Hard!
The title of this post sounds like something you’ve heard kids scream on more than one occasion, right? Unfortunately, I hate to admit that those were the words that popped out of my mouth one night about a week ago when my husband and I were upstairs playing Yoshi’s Woolly World on our Wii U. … More Give Me Some!
I remember one day years ago when I was sitting with a group of ladies. Our conversation turned to wayward children. At the time Jeffrey was still living safe and secure at home so I really couldn’t relate. After all, we’d raised him the best we could, making sure that he attended church with us … More Kids – What Are We Supposed To Do?
Many years ago when I was a baby Christian I didn’t get the whole “tithe” issue. After all, if we were struggling to pay the bills, shouldn’t we instead use whatever money we had to stay out of debt? God knew where we were financially, right? Since I was a stay-at-home mom with our special … More Blessings From God’s Storehouse
Today we celebrate Independence Day in the United States. Despite all the chaos and conflict which seems to be ever-escalating all over the world, here we still have freedom. We have freedom to worship Jesus how we wish, and live how we like. Usually. Most of you have families that you get together to laugh … More So Many Are Not Free
Getting ready to travel soon to visit our special needs son Jeffrey in Arizona. I’m really excited to see him – yet at the same time I can feel my heart often doing the flip-flop thing. Excitement, yet at the same time trepidation. Why? One reason is because I haven’t seen him since Christmas 2016. … More A Romans 8:28 Mindset
One morning I got up very early to go sit out on our patio. All was quiet except for a few birds chirping. My phone was inside and my husband still sound asleep in bed. I treasured my time that morning as I prayed, read my Bible and wrote in my journal. When I finally … More Walking Forward
