I love these dancing solar flowers! A friend and colleague had several in his classroom, and I threatened to steal one. (I really don’t think I would have, but the temptation was there!) So, one day he gave me one! It now sits on the table by my living room window, dancing merrily and bringing … More His Grace – My Weakness
As I observe the times in which we live, I sense almost a dread at the shocking reality of Christian beliefs. Our times are filled with Christianity, in all shapes and sizes. Some churches which would place themselves under the umbrella of Christianity deny that Jesus is even God’s Son. To me, that is a shocking … More Shocking Reality
Last evening, Tom and I watched a wonderful movie recommended by spiritclips.com for Memorial Day called An American Story aka After The Glory. (By the way, if you have not discovered spiritclips.com, it’s a wonderful site for good family films sponsored by Hallmark. Check it out!) The film is about six WW2 soldiers who come … More War – The Great Equalizer
One Friday, I was subbing as a secretary at our SMALL local high school. It was a bit of a hectic day which ended in a flurry of activity: One of the buses had broken down, which meant that we needed to keep the students an extra twenty minutes – on a FRIDAY! However, “all’s well that … More “That Still Small Voice” or “Lessons From a Trash Can”

What makes the Stradivarius violin so valuable? First, it … More How many are left? About 500…

I use the term loosely – miracle. There’s really nothing supernatural about my cuckoo clock, but I KNOW that God keeps it running. We inherited the cuckoo clock from my husband’s great-uncle back in the early nineties. (Is that really over twenty years ago? Inconceivable!!) It had hung on his wall for years, hanging … More My Miracle Clock
Do you have a favorite Bible story or Bible character? One of my favorites is the Women at the Well in John 4. She is the subject for my next short story: Forgiven. I hope the story captures the joy you know of being forgiven. Forgiven! What a beautiful word – what a horrible price was … More Forgiven
