Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
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 have a friend that sends me a text with a Bible verse and a related question each morning. Sometimes they hit home and match either a circumstance I am dealing with or something going on in general in the world. The one they sent yesterday referenced Hebrews 12:1, the end of the current year … Continue reading Strength is Within Sight
I was video chatting with my cousin tonight. She was telling me about the middle school basketball games they had watched last night. Her daughter plays on the girl’s middle school team. After their game, they stayed to watch the boys play. Apparently, the other team didn’t have very much sportsmanship, and I’m not talking … Continue reading Listen, Look and Learn
There I was, snuggled in comfy and cozy in my adjustable bed, in zero gravity position, all tucked in with blankets, pillows and throws. Sounds like a perfect Sunday, Christmas-movie-watching afternoon. Suddenly…. Leg cramp! Leg cramp! LEG CRAMP! So, have you ever been entangled and trapped in an adjustable bed, in zero gravity position, all … Continue reading Share the Pain
