Like many of us, I am deeply grieved. I am broken for my fellow humans on this planet. I am concerned about our Nation and the persecuted church around the world. I feel I reside somewhere between hope and hopelessness. I struggle with wondering if it’s simply too late for America. I am forty-five years Read More
Maybe it’s just me. There are an awful lot of life’s situations, circumstances, (and honestly people) that flat out leave me speechless. We seem to find ourselves living in a period of time that is unprecedented; at least in my lifetime. The spiritual warfare seems to have hit a new level, as if a new Read More
My grandmother used to have a saying, “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is clear to the bone.” I used to think that was just a funny saying. As I have gotten a few more candles on my birthday cake, I realize how profound that statement is. I look around at the beautiful people Read More

When David and I got married, he asked me what was on my ” bucket list”. Quite honestly, I had spent most of my life taking care of people around me and had not considered that question for myself. After much thinking, I decided I wanted to be “in the screensaver”, you know, the picture Read More
This rather unusual picture prompts my “unscheduled” blog post. As I was leaving the office today, I was emptying the trash cans. There is absolutely nothing remarkable about that act; I understand that. What prompted me was this trash can that is half full of tissues. For most people reading this, you are probably thinking, Read More
We went to a beautiful Christmas service with our daughter, Jessica, and grandson, Parker, last night at our dear friend’s church. We were not sure how Parker would behave. He is three, as he will proudly show you by lifting three tiny fingers. At the tender age of three, he can be a bit unpredictable Read More
