Last Sunday I visited a congregation here in Nashville with my friend before we went on our trip. I love listening to this particular minister. He always makes me think of things I never have before. He started by talking about how excited we get in anticipation of trips and vacations we take with family… Continue reading Anticipation

Scars
Scars. We all have them, either from surgeries, from accidents in our childhood, or other things. We all have emotional scars as well from being hurt by those we love and other people or from consequences of our own making. But why does God allow us have scars? This past weekend a good friend and… Continue reading Scars
Sowing
Each morning when I wake and go down for coffee😋, I see the trays, soil, and seeds waiting for me. If I am honest with myself, it’s scary to me to plant those little seeds. There are so many ‘what ifs.’ What if they don’t take to the soil? What if they are bad seeds?… Continue reading Sowing
Why?
As I sit most mornings, looking at the blue sky and hearing the birds singing, I praise the One who made it all. I’m not perfect by any means, physically! or spiritually, but I know the One who is! Some mornings my mind and heart drifts to those who don’t believe or don’t believe anymore.… Continue reading Why?
Growing Old
They say as soon as we’re born, we start to die. I’m not sure if that is true, but I guess it probably is if you look at it in the right way. We are born and immediately start aging. In watching my parents growing old and dying, I have come to realize a few… Continue reading Growing Old
Life Goes On
Often times after a loved one of ours dies, we feel so lost. It seems like life is moving on without us, as if we are stuck in a different time. For those who have had someone you love die, it seems like everyone forgets that even though time has passed, you are still struggling… Continue reading Life Goes On
I Don’t Know
Have you ever been asked why or asked why yourself? Why do bad things happen? Why is there divorce? Why do children get sick and die? Why is there physical pain? Why is there cancer? It can go on and on. I believe there are some things that we cannot know and should not know… Continue reading I Don’t Know
Penguins
So a little lighter subject today! If you’ve read my blog, you’ve noticed that I love penguins! They are so cute and funny to watch as they fly through the water. Yes, they are birds, but they cannot fly except when they are swimming. There are 17 species of penguins. My favorite it the macaroni… Continue reading Penguins
Witnesses
I guess there are always people watching us whether we know it or not. When we are doing good things, and sometimes when we are doing things we aren’t supposed to be. When you get to Heaven, who do you want to talk with? Jesus, of course! But are there others? People who have died… Continue reading Witnesses
Happy
What makes you happy? What do you think being happy means? It is defined as enjoying or characterized by well-being and contentment. But to me that sounds more like definition of joy. There are times when we are happier than others. It is an emotion not a state of our hearts always. There is a… Continue reading Happy
