On the dark side of the kitchen, I opened an upper cabinet door. Rummaging around, I must have caused something to shift from the very top shelf. A fairly sizable container came crashing down and cracked me on the brow bone—just missing my eye! Oh, did I fail to mention that the “dark side of … Continue reading Don’t Stand in the Dark

See Where We Should Depend on God
I wasn’t anxious yesterday. But I could feel anxiety sitting around me. I had a visit with my retina specialist. It would have been the day before, but he was in surgery all day. Because it was a work-in visit, I waited over two hours. It is interesting to sit in a waiting room and … Continue reading See Where We Should Depend on God →
We Have All Taken, Our Eyes Off the Mark
When I was working for the University, about twenty-five or twenty-six years ago, I worked with a lady that had previously been part of the Polish Olympic archery team.

For many years I had already been sending my family members a good morning text with a Bible verse included. It started out, on my ancient flip … Continue reading Light Up the Dark →
Can’t See the Fall Colors
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 →
Ah, Those Blue Eyes
My closest childhood friend posted a video to my Facebook timeline titled, "Do You Remember Playing With Paper Dolls?" Her comments were reminiscent of the times we spent playing with paper dolls when we were young. We grew up next door to each other until we were seventeen. We spent much of that time together … Continue reading Ah, Those Blue Eyes →
Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
I'm sitting here at my desk, looking out my window. Today it is bright and sunny. Those are the best days for me. Give me sunshine and I am a happy girl. Light means a lot to me!
