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

See Past the Inconvenience
A friend posted something on her social media page this week that triggered a memory that made me smile. She said she didn't write it, but re-posted from an unknown author; nevertheless, it hit home for me. With all of the unknown, anxiety and confusion that is swirling around all of us in the midst … Continue reading See Past the Inconvenience
I See It – This is Sixty
Today is the day, the seventh of March, in the year 2020. My new thing,"This is Sixty," is here! No, it's not some new movement (although it could be, I suppose.) Today is the day that I get to consider sixty years of life -- sixty years of God's amazing blessing on my life. In … Continue reading I See It – This is Sixty
