All of us have seen those adds for laundry detergent or all-purpose cleaning spray or some newly imagined delivery system for dish soap that claim to be so powerful at cleaning, that dirt just flees as soon as it is applied. The close-up camera angles show the little bubbles of dirty grease repelled, as if […]
BEWARE OF INVISIBLE COWS
There’s a sign near the Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii that reads “BEWARE OF INVISIBLE COWS”. No joke. And they couldn’t be more serious. This very tall mountain is filled with open cattle ranges. Sometimes at night or even during the day when the fog is thick, which is very common at that elevation, dark […]
Good VS Evil
Throughout history people have questioned and theorized the essence of good vs. evil. These ideas are shown in many religions throughout the centuries and manifested in our moral compasses. We are all aware of the christian stance on good vs. evil; how God is perfect and good and Satan is cruel and evil. But in […]
What’s for Dinner?
Have you ever felt a craving for food, but you just could not figure out what you wanted? When I was pregnant with each of my four children, I had this predicament. It was always something different and it always seemed counterintuitive because it was often accompanied by nausea. I remember with my last child, […]
I’m Fine
I was talking to someone awhile back and they asked the old question, “Hey, how are you doing?” Without much though I gave my usual response “Oh I’m good”.

Try Again Tomorrow
Sometimes we mess up in ways people would deem unredeemable. We can’t necessarily call them mistakes because we knew what we were doing, knew it was wrong, and still did it. At some point, some of us start to believe that because others can’t forgive us, neither can God. But that is completely false. Something […]
Overwhelmed
The definition of overwhelmed is: “to bury or drown beneath a huge mass”. Have you ever felt that way? Like there was a weight on your chest, that no matter how hard you tried it was like the lungs in your chest no longer had room to expand? Unfortunately, I know that feeling […]
LET YOUR BLOOPERS SHINE
I was watching The Chosen the other day and at the end of the episode, they showed the bloopers. I love bloopers! I found myself literally laughing out loud as I watched Jonathan Roumie, the actor who plays Jesus, forget his lines and try to keep a straight face. The bloopers were not […]
Perspective
I have a very kind and amazing sister-in-law named Kimberly. She has been married to my brother, Clarence, for 37 plus years. Recently I heard a story about their early marriage. They had had a terrible argument (neither can remember what it was about now), but my brother decided to get Kimberly roses as a […]
