• Praying With Love

  When Aunt Carol was having her health issues I felt compelled to ask for prayers. More than once, it seemed like she was closer to heaven’s door than we thought.

• Our Surprise Blessings

• Poignant Weekends

  The day that was instrumental in my decision to once again share the intricacies God reveals behind a snapshot of a moment in my life. Two Saturdays ago was that day. So many things had to happen a certain way for me to have an open heart to appreciate the layered beauty of the Mother’s…

• Writing Prompt:

  If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be? This is kind of an intriguing question! I grew up a Union Bulldog with black and gold colors then in College I was a Mighty Oak with blue, light blue and white colors. Not being exactly an athlete like my cousins and…

• Words … and Their Effects

  Last week one of the reasons why it was busy and emotional was because it was my family’s first time back in therapy. Real therapy at Catherine Hamilton albeit I am sure some patients may not be sure the quantifier ‘real’ is absolutely true. Okay maybe that person who is not the patient is me.…

• God’s Timing

  Perhaps today’s misfortune was good for me. I still tend to be a news junkie. I needed to stay away from the news and my favorite shows due to the horrific results yesterday. The detox was forced but something I truly needed with all the pundits analyzing on all the various shows throughout the day.…

• Writing Prompt:

  What are you most proud of in your life? Well first of all anytime I see the word proud I think of what scripture says. God does not like those who are boastful or prideful. The word pride has been twisted into pride months for groups who definitely boast in disgusting ways. Yet there is…
