Unexpected Road Trip
God has a wonderful sense of humor. Do you ever set out thinking one way and then by the end of the process or the week it was completely a different way altogether? Last Tuesday was the bombshell news. Due to the very sad and divergent tendencies of the word divorce my brother gets his…

Every Mile Reveals A Memory
Driving in the wrong direction, like we did, allowed us to have a family recollection time. According to mom the long drive was fun and just what we needed that Saturday. She may have been right considering what the next few miles of road would reveal to us. Little Nashville has happy memories for us…

Driving In The Wrong Direction
We were on Highway 31, I wasn’t exactly paying attention to our precise route. Dad is always prepared and usually knows where to go. So when we left Greenwood I didn’t think about needing to be alert on our way home. After about maybe a good half hour or more, I’m not really sure, Dad…

Embraced and Loved
A day or two ago I heard a comment from Dana Perino on the Five. She became even more relatable to me. She talked about how her beloved Grandfather influenced her life. Hearing those words took me to Grandpa Freddy, myself. To hear her give that personal statement was comforting in a way to know…

Traveling Back to Memories
Today looking back at our road-trip another memory surfaced from last year at our current destination of our journey Saturday. So after the third bust of the day we decided to head homeward bound.

Three Busts
Once we arrived at the first destination in Indy and found the car sold our day looked bleak. After the drive and finding out this information we decided Cincinnati would be our next try. First though Arby’s was calling for us to eat inside. Talk about a disappointing missed opportunity. Apparently God had other reasons…

Life-Giving
How do things happen in life? Is there a rhyme and reason? Or like supposedly smart people said, the Big Bang Theory just happened? Which one do you believe? The cause and effect scenario is very real, but this theory seems lacking in common sense. In Genesis, God Himself, spoke the world into existence. Light…

Being Carsick On A Trip
Road Trips can be fun. I do enjoy them as long as the road stays straight. If they don’t it can totally ruin my trip. I had a migraine and hadn’t completely gotten rid of it by Friday. So I was already sure I should not get into the car to go to Cincinnati, Ohio.…

The Gift of Love
May is a somewhat difficult month to be a non-married woman. I have been told at least twice that I can’t say the ‘s’ word. My boyfriend had to remind me not to refer to myself as single. Even though anyone who has seen me throughout the days and weeks would be sure I absolutely…

Relationship Milestones
Today is an Anniversary of sorts. My boyfriend sent a message to me exactly a week prior. Two years ago today, I replied to his Hello. I remember how uncertain I was about this guy. For about two days I waited to see if he would take it back or get tired of waiting for…
