BILL

Today is your Birthday! It seems only right that I looked outside this morning and see the Kentucky ground covered with a beautiful snow. Up against our new Kentucky house that you designed, it looks like a Thomas Kincaid painting ... which seems so fitting for you because you are a classic. You are the… Continue reading BILL

Horse of a Different Color

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.

Grandma Davis

My Grandma Davis was one of the greatest people I have ever known. She lived as near to Jesus during her life as humanly possible. Grandma lived to be 98 years old. She went on her last mission trip at the age of 88 to Brazil. I have her last passport. She was one of… Continue reading Grandma Davis

Get Your Iron Up

Good or bad, I am a classic people pleaser. I want everything to run smoothly and happily. I want everyone to love Jesus, each other, and be sweet.

The Week Between

I’ve always thought the week between Christmas and New Years day was equally wonderful and weird. A busy month of endless celebration followed by a dead stop!  When the family lives spread apart all over the USA we sometimes don’t even get to celebrate Christmas with part of our family until afterwards. We find ourselves… Continue reading The Week Between

Christmas Day was the only time of the year we had both of our grandmas in our home at the same time.  It was always a scene!  They didn't have any use for each other.  These were both good Christian women, but the years of sharing us had not worn well on them. They both… Continue reading Messing with my Stuff?

Just One More Thing

That’s When Jesus Shows Up

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 he… Continue reading That’s When Jesus Shows Up

Fireplace

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 a… Continue reading Fireplace
