Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
We are just getting ready to roll into the changing of the seasonal colors here in the Appalachian and Great Smoky Mountains. There are a few leaves that have started to turn, but full color is a ways off yet. For the past couple of years, everyone has said how pretty the mountain colors have been. … Continue reading Can’t See the Fall Colors
I have been a Bible "reader" most of my life. When I was in elementary and junior high, I used to earn my way to summer camp by studying the Bible and completing lessons related to what I had read. I became a Bible "study-er" when I hit my forties, with the past few years … Continue reading Take a Look at What Jesus Says
Our family has been showered with so much love this past week. People seemed to have come from every corner to see if we needed anything. There was so much food here at one point that I feared it would go to waste. But by the end of this past weekend it was all gone. … Continue reading Help Me See Where I Can Be a Blessing

I am of a certain age (some would say old) where, as a child, one of the most exciting times of the year—which is fast approaching—was when the Sears Wish Book (otherwise know as the Christmas catalog) was delivered to our mailbox. This would begin hours and hours, and hours, of flipping through the pages, … Continue reading Seeing the Resurrection and the Life With Childlike Faith
Social media seems to have taken over the world. Having followers has become a huge, really crazy, big deal. Internet celebrities carry a lot of weight with their followers. They have the ability to sway public opinion with just a word dropped here and there. Some social media personalities lead you positively to good places, … Continue reading Holding In View the Way to Life
You can usually tell when a caregiver is family or a close friend of the person being cared for. There is a difference in the quality of care. I have been blessed to be able to be my momma’s hands-on care giver. I love her and I loved being able to be here for her. … Continue reading My Good Shepherd Lets Me See Peace
