The sun was shining brightly as we finished cleaning the garage. I wistfully placed a toddler scooter, swing, small bike and several other outside toys that my 6 year old “baby” had outgrown into the van. Time seems to pass much quicker than I would like when it involves my children. I also grabbed a… Continue reading Letting Go

The Man at the Well
From the time I was a young girl, men have looked at me. Well, except for the one man I wanted attention from the most. My father. I longed for him to tell me how important I was to him. He was too caught up in being an official in our town. He was very… Continue reading The Man at the Well
Christians Judging Christians
I am about to meddle. Fair Warning. : ) The majority of Christians have done it at one time or another. We see someone in our church, another church and especially in a different denomination that is doing something differently than we believe it is to be done. We judge them. Perhaps we never say… Continue reading Christians Judging Christians
Going fishing in a dead sea!
Have you ever started thinking about the things you did in the past and felt guilty? I was driving one day – had plenty of time to think – and my mind went way back to a time in my life when I did some things I wasn’t proud of. I lingered over those thoughts… Continue reading Going fishing in a dead sea!
Weeding the Garden of Your Heart
When I attended Living Waters Ministry, Denise, would tell us in class to weed the garden of our hearts every day, and to do it with our children every night before they went to sleep. The weeds in our garden might be anger, unforgiveness, or offenses we experienced from someone that day. Our children may have… Continue reading Weeding the Garden of Your Heart

The Land of Overwhelm
Have you ever been to the Land of Overwhelm? It is an interesting place. There are HUGE mountains that seem too difficult to climb. The roads there seem never ending and confusing to navigate. The seas in the Land of Overwhelm are murky, always churning and often the waves knock people down. The grass is… Continue reading The Land of Overwhelm
I want to Be in Whack!
This morning as I was walking, I said “my body feels out of whack.” So, I immediately said out loud, “Lord, but I want to be in whack!” I believe the body, mind, and spirit are one, just like the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one; and they work in concert with each other. … Continue reading I want to Be in Whack!
Finding Your Determination
I don’t know her name and I have never seen her smile. But every time we are at the indoor pool, she has been there. She slowly hobbles into the room with a cane as her trusty companion. Slowly and methodically, she undresses and slides her away into the pool. Her laps begin. At times,… Continue reading Finding Your Determination
Have You Used the “F” Word Lately?
Many years ago I overheard a conversation between two young siblings in which the girl screeched, “Mom…! Brother just said the ‘S’ word.” Oh my, I thought THE ‘S’ word, these two were so young how would they have even heard that word let alone use it? Well, apparently their terror stricken mother was thinking… Continue reading Have You Used the “F” Word Lately?
