• When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? Writing Prompt

  Music, music, music. I couldn’t think of anything else I wanted more. Singing and playing piano was what my parents did. Dad was the Music Leader at Church and Mom played the piano. I wanted to be just like both of them. God gave me the skill and talent to do so. It was my…

• December

  The first week of Christmas has already disappeared. What happened? How is it that it’s Friday the 8th. The Christmas Program is over and tomorrow is Grandma’s Church Program. It just doesn’t seem possible for that to be the next item on the Christmas list. I do think they have moved it up a week…

• After Service Thoughts

  The first Sunday of December and it was Communion Day. For once even by myself I got some Christmas Cards passed out today. This has never happened before. Doing them this way feels different, but I still love making them and passing them out to friends and family. During the congregational singing memories flooded my…

• Time To Heal

  When I first left Fellowship Grandpa Freddy had been gone for two years. No matter where I went in the Church I could see him and tears would consume me for no other reason but the fact I was still mourning. It would take years maybe even an entire decade for me to stop getting…

• Thoughts of Peach Flowers

  These are all photos of one Rose. One of the roses pulled from Aunt Carol’s flowers above her casket. I love the color of this flower. Different angles and lighting give it some nuances in each photo. Like Aunt Carol did. I didn’t realize how similar we were. I did know she liked to cook…

• First Memories of Church

  My parents were married at my mom’s childhood Church. It wasn’t very long though after I was born that we moved to Faith Community Church just south a couple of minutes. Faith was my first Church and it is tied with so many cherished memories. Our Church didn’t have a baptismal so at around 5…

• Public Speaking

  Never in my life have I wanted to be or thought I was a Ham. I have always tried to stay out of the limelight whenever I could. In school pretty sure I got the award for shyest girl of the 2003 Class of UHS. Somehow the problem was that I was put into the…

• Sunday Night Thoughts

  I think the coolness of the morning seeped into my bones. I had every intention of being at church all day today. I even wore a dress I hadn’t worn for quite a while feeling good about it. So what went wrong? By the way I still feel weird about selfies. I get very self-conscious…
