Have you ever gotten involved in something that you thought was going to be the same old thing only to have it change the way you look at something forever? That was me this past week. I get to do an online Bible study with friends from church and we’re doing one now on the […]
Nothing Like Apple Pie
I was fortunate and blessed to be able to attend a conference last October. One of the speakers, to be honest, seemed to bore me when he started out. Then what he did made me think. He had us draw a grid on a piece of paper. And he asked us to write some things […]
Through the Valley
We have all been there. The valley. Sometimes we are there for a long time. Sometimes it feels like a short visit. Sometimes we feel like we’re being used for the kingdom to do good or even great things. Other times, we wonder if God sees us at all. I once heard it described […]
There is Always Dust
I went into the office to make some copies. The copy machine said that the toner waste receptacle was full. We had to empty it. I had never done it before, but I probably make the most copies here at the church, so I volunteered. After some direction and guidance, I took the silly thing […]

What Do You Miss
We all have memories. If we’re lucky, we especially have Thanksgiving and Christmas memories. Maybe you had a small family and the holidays were a quiet restful time together. Maybe your family is pretty big and this time of year was crazy and loud. I came from a big family on both Dad and Mom’s […]
What Am I Telling My Grandchildren?
I am a grandma. I have three different names I go by, as of right now. My grandson Max calls me YaYa. My grandson Conner and granddaughter Ayla call me grandma. My granddaughter Juniper calls me Gamma. I have another granddaughter who will arrive anytime in the next few weeks. I’m guessing her sister will […]
