Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
Good grief Gracie! This is one crazy world we are living in! There does not seem to be a place to hide from the insanity. Truth seems like an extremely rare commodity. How did it change so much in, just, the past fifty-plus years? Fifty-plus years ago I was running around the mountainsides, swinging out over the ravine on … Continue reading Looking Toward My Place of Refuge
I mentioned an unusual name, Marycushion, a couple of days ago. I suppose I could tell you how that name came to be. It came when I was a senior in high school. So the name has been around for a long time. My mom‘s cousin, her husband and four children had just moved to … Continue reading Visualize Sharing
I have been looking at some old photo albums the past few days. I was looking for some pictures of the house I grew up in for a future post. Old pictures make me smile. They also bring up old memories and places that make you think about the paths you have taken in life … Continue reading What is the Vision of Your Heart?
I pulled the milk out of the refrigerator today. I gave it a hard shake. Every single time that I do this—and I do this most every time I get the milk out of the refrigerator—a moment in time floods my memory bank that brings a smile. It is interesting how an essentially unremarkable incident … Continue reading Someone Is Always Watching
I was reading through a writer’s book today. One of the sections of the book had different writing prompts. One of the writing prompts was, “What was the first thing you saved up your own money to buy?” I don’t think it would have been when I was a child, because there was probably only … Continue reading The Treasure We Have Our Eyes On
I suppose the January time frame is a strange time to be thinking of African Violets. I always remember a magnificent pot of velvety, violet blooms during the weeks after the New Year of 2000 that provided comfort through a difficult time. A coworker had an African violet plant in her office. It had not … Continue reading Catching Sight of Comfort
Back in the early to mid 1960s, my next-door neighbor and I were pushing the envelope for girls. Well, technically we didn’t realize that we were doing anything to any envelope, but it kinda looks like we were. She and I were the same age. I was born in March and she was born in … Continue reading You are Seen, You are Worthy
I am kind of diving right into this blog head long. It is a topic that has been on my heart for a long time, and one of the reasons I began this blog. It is aimed straight at myself. I may lose a few followers because of this one. That is OK. The Most … Continue reading Looks Like We Are Back to Fruit Again
I was checking in with a friend today about how I could pray for them in the coming year. They said something that I didn’t get all the way the first time. It was the key to their message for me. Then as I looked at it again, I got it. They said, "I have … Continue reading What Does Your Fruit Look Like?
Some friends and I were sharing via text messages this morning about what a tough year it has been for a number of people that we know. Not to be overly dramatic, but it just feels like the enemy has lined us up one by one and taken their best shot. As 2025 began, I … Continue reading Seek Him
