Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
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.

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

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
It has been a hard day in our cozy little house. My precious momma passed peacefully into her eternal home this morning. We were waiting and watching and loving on her as we could.
