It’s my favorite time of the year…. the front edge of summer.  It's when all the fun is straight in front of us, waiting for us to jump in.  Its when things are wrapping up for the school year and people are eager to get out in the sun.  The whole glorious summer is ahead. It’s… Continue reading The Front Edge Of Summer

My mother’s day gift this year is getting to spend some extended time with my kids and grandkids- this is my favorite gift ever! I feel so blessed.  On this rainy morning, my grandkids were playing a game which involved gathering all the pillows from the house, along with their stuffed animals, onto the sofa.… Continue reading Hiding

“I am a stranger on earth; do not hide your commands from me.” (Psalm 119:19) “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household.”   (Ephesians 2:19) I tried to go back in my mind and count how many times we moved and how… Continue reading Temporary

That little prefix "RE" is fascinating to me.  According to the dictionary, it occurs… Continue reading Renew 2019

What a joy it is to spend the second week of the New Year in Hawaii.  It is a peaceful, majestic place that displays God’s creative power and splendor.

  In the beginning, when the world was without form and was void…That’s when Jesus showed up.   John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.” He is always there to meet our needs. From the very beginning,… Continue reading That’s When Jesus Shows Up

  The Christmas night I got engaged was a magical memory- almost a dream. My flight didn’t arrive in Louisville a few hours before midnight so when we got to Bill’s home the room was dark and silent, except for the crackle of the embers fully fueled in the hugest fireplace I’d ever seen in… Continue reading Fireplace
