A Wreath – A Message
Last night after dinner I took the opportunity to order our annual Christmas wreaths. You see we’ve been supporting Wreaths Across America for over 15 years. The organization has a wonderful history, and its mission is simple, each Christmas season they strive to ensure every veteran’s grave has a wreath placed on it. As their…

Closer Together
My husband and I have been married for almost 37 years, and when I take into account the dating before that, we’ve been together just about 40 years. Like most couples we’ve had our ups and downs, our “for better or worse” moments, we have two wonderful children and two amazing grandchildren. And…he is, in…

The Sun Rises
We’ve been up north visiting family over the last few days. To say the weather has taken some getting used to might be a tad of an understatement. We went from sun and 85 to rain, I mean like buckets coming down rain and mid 40’s. I mentioned to someone yesterday that it’s not the…

Little Gems
Sometimes when you least expect it, you stumble across little things, little gems that just make you smile. Our church has a small thrift store, we call it the Church Mouse. People drop off “gently used” items that they no longer need, you know clothing, housewares, furniture, sports items, you get the idea. The volunteers…

Eat the Cake
Seems like an odd title for this little blog given that just yesterday I was talking about working out again. Getting back into the gym and getting back on the wagon with the fitness journey, ya that goes along with eating cake right? The timing is interesting yes, however, God has a way of timing…

Da Wagon
I’ve been going at a crazy pace for the last eight weeks or so…Well, I’m always going at a crazy pace, but the last few months have been even crazier. The lead-up to the conference is always busy, and some things have to move down on the to-do list. Unfortunately, this year, I let my…

They Make it Work
Last night my husband and I made our way to one of our favorite local restaurants. As you can probably imagine there are tons of them in our city, (it’s grown into a city I think), many are chain establishments but there are so many local places it’s sometimes hard to choose. Anyway, last night…

Canning with a Crew
It’s that time of the year when gardens are emptying for the season and the final canning, pickling, freezing is a happenin’. Well, it’s a different kind of canning here. Last year I mentioned that we have a small group of ladies at our church who put their hearts, (and a little muscle), into canning…

When You’re Not Good Enough
This morning as I sat with Father for my morning chat, I asked Him to give me words to express what I was feeling. Sometimes I know what I want to say but just not quite how to say it. As I sat and shared my thoughts I found that I talked myself right through…

Comfort Food – Mmmm
I’ve noticed over the past week or so, everyone is starting to dig the fall decorations out, (even though the season doesn’t officially start until later this week). The pumpkins and fall leaves, acorns, gourds, and the Indian corn are starting to appear on doorsteps, and around homes, it’s quite festive. Even though you all…
