Comfort in a Song

Music is a powerful thing. It can bring incredible joy, invoke memories, and heal brokenness. Some songs are so powerful that the emotion they stir can often find the listener in tears. Today, friends, I’m just sharing a song I’ve come to love. It’s a powerful song with a message: we are God’s children, and…

Are Ya Kidding Me?

Today is a better day. Many thanks to all of you who texted and offered prayers for my out-of-sorts day yesterday. It truly helped, and Father did as He always does: He provided the distractions and opportunities to do what He wanted me to do. So, today, I didn’t lie back down, nope, up and…

His Words Are Enough

They really are, you know. Those days when you feel a little down, and you don’t know why. Those days when you feel melancholy and just out of sorts, the word of the Lord is all we need. I guess today is one of those days. The weather is gloomy, trust me, we’ll take the…

The Firsts

Grief can be a very difficult thing. It’s a very personal process. Everyone grieves in their own way, and to say what one should be feeling, well, we can’t do that. We all know there are stages of grief, and sometimes those stages seem unbearable. I do believe, though, that we must go through them…

Be Intentional

For Lent, I committed to reading more of my Bible. I’ve been intentional about it, sitting down and even moving things out of the way on my desk, so that my Bible is the focus. Many years ago, I was listening to a podcast, which was a Bible study of sorts. Anyway, at one point,…

So right about now, I’m guessing you have the chorus from the John Fogerty song from about 40 years ago running through your head. No, that wasn’t my intent, but ever since I thought about the message for today’s little blog post, I must admit, it’s been running through mine. I’ve shared here before that…

Sharing the Load

My husband and I have been together for a very long time. We’ve settled into a routine when it comes to our homelife, especially when it comes to the chores and upkeep. We each have our own “responsibilities,” I guess you could say. Over time, we’ve each taken on chores, and now it’s just the…

The Gift of a Brother

Today is a day to celebrate. Well, every day is a day to celebrate in my opinion 🙂 . Today, though, we celebrate my brother’s birthday. I am the baby of the family and have two older brothers. So, as you can probably guess, growing up, I was what we used to refer to as…

Stay Connected

You all know how much I enjoy my Saturdays. Today will be no different, actually, maybe even more so today. A little pampering on deck, and then time on the water before the cold front hits us again. Our local weather guy said yesterday, “We get to see all four seasons in the next 5…

A Ride and a Message

This morning I rode my bike around our community. I’m usually out on the road by about 5:15 before the work traffic hits the streets. So, as you can imagine, it’s still dark, and that’s ok. It’s about six miles around our community. It’s a big circle, and much of the ride is “inside the…
