Married to an accountant, believing in the Dave Ramsey way, and generally trying to be a good steward of what God has given, I have always heard buying is better than renting for long term. We have only rented once in our lives, and that was when we were first married. But I think there… Continue reading Don’t Buy…Rent!

We All Have ‘Em!
Recently, I’ve been thinking about regrets. We all have regrets to some extent. Some people don’t have very many. It seems they knew what they wanted to do in life, how to do it, and they accomplished every single thing. I did not or at least have not yet. I was never pushed by my… Continue reading We All Have ‘Em!
Choose JOY!
In the past year and especially in recent days, life has been hard. There is so much bad in this world. People post it on Facebook and other social media. We see it in the newspaper and on TV. We see it next door. We see it in ourselves. satan is working diligently to try… Continue reading Choose JOY!
Life Applications from the Zero Turn Mower
I love to be on our zero turn mower on the farm. What I mow takes about 2 hours, so I have time to pray, think, and sing at the top of my lungs! However, there are some things I’ve learned in my many hours on the mower: Always, ALWAYS, keep your mouth closed! Things… Continue reading Life Applications from the Zero Turn Mower
Handed Over
I’ve mentioned before about reading the Bible and seeing something new. I love when that happens…at least most of the time. This morning’s reading was 1 Timothy 1-3. Paul is writing to Timothy who is a young man Paul seems to love very much. The letter is full of good advice for any of us.… Continue reading Handed Over
Overwhelmed
When is the last time you were overwhelmed by God? Were you standing at the ocean? Were you looking into the eyes of your spouse or child? Were you looking at the storm on the horizon? Were you looking at the awesome colors of the sunrise or sunset? Were you looking in the mirror and… Continue reading Overwhelmed
Surrounded
I don’t know about you, but I don’t like crowds. They make me feel claustrophobic, and after a while it seems to take my breath away and I cannot breathe. I guess they make me feel like I’m having a panic attack. When you hear the word surrounded, do you think of positive or negative… Continue reading Surrounded
Slippin’
I’ve mentioned before in my blog about growing up with 3 older siblings and having to listen to their music. That is why I like music from the 60’s and 70’s. There is a song by the Steve Miller Band called Time Keeps On Slippin‘ that I thought a lot about yesterday. It’s been years… Continue reading Slippin’
The Circus
I can remember going to the circus only once or twice in my lifetime. I don’t care for clowns, so it’s not my favorite place to be entertained. When you’re at the circus, there’s a lot going on at one time. Animals, clowns, trapeze, and others are all going about the arena doing their things… Continue reading The Circus
God’s Hand
My Daddy’s hands were so soft! Even though he worked a lot around the house and on our cars, you could rub his hand and feel its smoothness and softness. I often think of God this way, like my Daddy. I had a great Daddy. He wasn’t perfect by any means, but I loved him… Continue reading God’s Hand
