Red Hot

There are a lot of life lessons out in nature. I believe God made it that way. All we have to do is go outside and look around to see Him. I’ve blogged a couple of times on life lessons from the zero-turn mower. If you’re interested in those posts, you can read them here… Continue reading Red Hot

Not Everyone

I have to say my childhood was a pretty good one. I learned to be able to play alone most of the time. I learned to love nature by playing at and in the creek that ran in our backyard. Catching crawdads, snakes and other things was a passtime for me. But not everyone. Not… Continue reading Not Everyone

The Blame

Facebook is a lit up this morning with posts of the shooting in Texas, and rightly so. We should all be upset about so many dead especially children. It makes moms and dads everywhere want to grab our kids, hug them, and never let go. Even if they are 24 and 22 years old! This… Continue reading The Blame

The Painful Path

In the movie Pocahontas, Grandmother Willow tells Pocahontas, “Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one.” We all know there are many paths in life we take. Paths we choose; paths that lead to other paths; paths we do not choose. Most of the time we take paths we think are harmless to us.… Continue reading The Painful Path

Not Gone but Forgotten

We are really good at forgetting people and things. Perhaps it’s busyness, age, the beginning of dementia? Who knows. During the past 2 years when everyone has kept to themselves, there are people who’ve been forgotten. One thing the elders where I worship and work do well is check on members. They get reports daily.… Continue reading Not Gone but Forgotten

The Haunting

I don’t believe in ghosts. However, I do believe in spirits. There is a spiritual world all around us. Most of the time, we don’t see it. But I do believe there are times it shows itself and we get a glimpse. Some people may think the spirits that we see are ghosts. Perhaps those… Continue reading The Haunting

TBH

TBH. Do you know what those letters stand for? To be honest. Whenever my husband hears or sees those letters, he says, “Why do people use them? Are they lying the rest of the time?” Are you like me? If I’m honest with myself, I struggle. A lot. I find I my faith is weakest… Continue reading TBH

Weeping

When I was a kid, in school or Sunday Bible class the teachers would often tell us to memorize a Bible verse. Our ‘go-to’ was always the shortest verse, John 11:35 “Jesus wept.” The experiences of life have brought new meaning to this verse. As one who has weeped (literally weeped!) a few times in… Continue reading Weeping

On the Edge

This afternoon after work, I had to stop at the grocery store for a few things. Living in a small town, I almost always see someone I know. Sure enough, I saw two people. But the one who made the biggest impression was the one I didn’t know. As I walked down the isles, there… Continue reading On the Edge
