I love it when I find that someone else has used a fun word I often use, like ‘wobbly.’ In my devotion this morning it started out this way, “Trust Jesus and refuse to worry, for He is your strength and song. Are you feeling wobbly this morning…?” Why, yes, I am! I have been… Continue reading I’m Feeling Wobbly

I am currently studying The Pursuit of God by A.W.Tozer.  Two of my sister-in-laws are teaching the study and I’ve been auditing the class. It is exactly what I needed for this particular time in my life.  I have always been a follower of his work, because I know when I read his books it… Continue reading Just The Facts

  photography by rachellynphotography.com  Today is a dark rainy day and although I got up early, I am now ready to go back to bed for a nap!  Down through the generations, one thing I think we can all agree on is that we value our sleep — some more than others – nevertheless, we… Continue reading Sleep

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. I was the first one to marry into the Langley family. I fell in love, not only with Bill, but also his family. I wanted everything to… Continue reading Get Your Iron Up

I am a water lover. I love swimming pools, the ocean and the lake. I even love a big bathtub! I think water is magical and even enchanting.

I have to admit the snow did help our plight somewhat, as my philosophy about cold is, “If you get no snow, the winter has no redeeming quality whatsoever.” Today, I see… Continue reading Do You Have A Warm Coat

The Christmas stuff is all down, or at least mostly down. I’ve felt so squished by all the plunder that I couldn’t wait to get it out of the house. Now I am standing here looking at an awful lot of blank space. It didn’t seem blank before Christmas … how odd! Now, as I… Continue reading Blank Space

When we were growing up, my brother would wrap all the Christmas gifts. He took painstaking effort to make each one special. Before we ripped right into the gift he would say, “Stop, notice the wrapping!” We stopped in mid air and looked adoringly at the box and would say, “ahhhhh.” Since then, I’ve always… Continue reading The Wrap Up

  Yesterday, my blog focused on the special memories of Christmas that warm our hearts and bring a smile to our faces. However, there is another side of Christmas, actually, another side of life. For all our Dickens type memories, you can’t forget about Tiny Tim. There are so many people who are hurting and… Continue reading December 2
