Empty Nest is for the Birds
July 16, 2014
Well, it’s official – our last little (or not so little!) bird just flew the nest. As he said, “Good night. I’ll see you in the morning,” for the last time, a lump came to my throat – the same lump that has been lodging itself there for the past few weeks! The Lord has … More Empty Nest is for the Birds
Hidden Blessings
July 12, 2014
“Once I cut down the weeds, I found that the ground was red with wild strawberries. I guess you’d call them a hidden blessing.” As this dear man shared his testimony in Sunday school a few weeks back, my husband replied, “That will preach!” Hidden blessings: How many blessings are hidden from our lives because … More Hidden Blessings
Heavenly Homeland Security

Ah, gardening! I love my garden. I love looking at it out my kitchen window- neat straight rows of healthy plants, and as of yesterday morning, no weeds! What a glorious sight! I’ve trimmed down the size this year, mostly because of my husband’s accident. The garden is mainly my job, but Tom usually tills it in … More Heavenly Homeland Security

Drama queen – someone who gets too upset or angry over small problems Too – more than is needed or wanted; more than is suitable or enough Small – less in size or amount than is average It’s amazing what a few little words will do to a definition. If you take out the words … More DRAMA QUEEN
The Successful Dad (and Granddad!)
June 13, 2014
Success – my husband would say, and I agree, that success is finding the will of God and doing it! So, to be a successful Dad would be to find God’s will for a father, and do it. That sounds like a very tall order, and it is! The following poem has always been special … More The Successful Dad (and Granddad!)

His Grace – My Weakness
June 4, 2014
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
Shocking Reality
June 2, 2014
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
War – The Great Equalizer
May 24, 2014
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
