Look Your Fears in the Eye in 2022!

My blindness is nothing! The small patch of vision that remains is enough for me to function in familiar situations without most people knowing that I have vision loss. Recently, I met a young man, totally blind and brave enough to take on the world, by himself. I was on the campus where my niece … Continue reading Look Your Fears in the Eye in 2022! →

Look At It From Their Point of View

It is Christmas Eve. Well. Christmas Eve morning as I post this, but we will go with Christmas Eve. Have you ever thought about heaven on Christmas Eve? I’m not necessarily talking about today as the day before Christmas. Have you ever really thought about how the citizens of heaven were feeling the day before … Continue reading Look At It From Their Point of View →

Observation From the Soapbox

Short Soapbox moment.... We just finished up Beth Moore’s study of the Book of Daniel. It is an amazing, in-depth study. It is very intense, but sheds a lot of light on the culture we are living in today. Something troubling my heart tonight is that this message, one of the messages of Daniel, is … Continue reading Observation From the Soapbox →

Sometimes Broken Eggs Look Beautiful

One of the most discouraging things about my vision difficulties is the loss of my driving privileges. I'm not whining, promise! There are just work-arounds that sometimes need to be done for normal, everyday things. Something I really miss is being able to jump in the car and run to the store. Within the past … Continue reading Sometimes Broken Eggs Look Beautiful →

Keep Your Eyes Open—the Struggle is Real!

I hate to say ugly words. I really do. I especially hate to do it in front of my momma.

I See a Prayer for Me in There…

A friend and I started a virtual Bible study the first of January. She desires to go verse by verse through Paul’s prison epistles. I love going verse by verse when I study also. She had a reading plan for Colossians for the month of January. We started there. I have enjoyed it so much. … Continue reading I See a Prayer for Me in There… →

A Visible Legacy Left Behind

I received a text yesterday morning that I knew would come. I was not ready for it. I don’t believe any of us were ready for it. The Pastor of my heart and under whose ministry I have had the most spiritual growth, has gone on home. My heart is sad, but my heart is … Continue reading A Visible Legacy Left Behind →

A Tear in My Eye for the Past and Present

Upfront. Soap Box. (Not about the election!) A little long. History is involved. Definitely SOAP BOX. I was recently talking with a twenty-two year old. We were having a conversation about making the most of the "mask" thing and having some fun with it by using different holiday themed patterns to make a some interesting … Continue reading A Tear in My Eye for the Past and Present →

Look for God’s Love

I threw away an old candy box today. No one else probably remembers the significance of this box… But I do. It signifies love felt deeply. It signifies hope. It signifies dreams. It signifies loss. It signifies disappointments. It signifies joy, yet it signifies sadness. That is a whole lot for one little paper box … Continue reading Look for God’s Love →
