When a Tune Says it All

Yesterday I heard a song and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. You all know how that goes. Like I’m pretty sure I could name a couple of well-known classics and just by naming the tune you could start singing the familiar chorus, and of course it would be stuck in your head the rest…

Happy Place

Yesterday on social media I saw pictures of friends who were in their “happy place”. You know what I mean, the places they go where they feel total peace and happiness. I saw pictures of people at the beach, skiing in the mountains, hiking trails in the woods, and yes, even on the golf course. These are the…

Old Christmas and Family

Yesterday at work I was moving from task to task and was pretty much all over the campus. We have a new cleaning crew for the month so I was showing them what needed to be taken care of, our facilities manager is on vacation so I was attending to some tasks that he normally handles,…

Song for Your Saturday

Happy weekend friends! During this busy time as we near Christmas, I wanted to leave you with a short prayer and a short song to begin your day. This is just a wonderful piece of music for the season. Heavenly Father, thank you for this day, another day to share your love and do your…

Song-Prayer-Gifts

We enjoyed an evening with special friends last night. So many wonderful conversations, an evening filled with much laughter. For a few, we were meeting for the first time, but by the time the evening was over, we felt we’d known each other for years. I love how that happens sometimes, you meet people and…

Gotta Keep it Separate

Sometimes it’s not easy to leave work “at the office”. It’s even more difficult when you work with your spouse. My husband and I work together at our church, and it’s been an adjustment. We’ve actually come full circle, you see my husband and I met almost 40 years ago when we were both working…

When Words Elude

There are days, as I’ve said before, when I come to this little blog with thoughts of what to share, only to begin typing and they don’t really seem to come together. I find that happens usually when I’m tired, and this morning would be one of those mornings. It was a very busy weekend…

Keep Going

This morning something rare happened, I actually had to wake up to my alarm going off. Most mornings, either my husband or I wake up way before and we are getting the morning started. Not so this morning. Now granted we got to bed later than usual so that had something to do with being…
