Random Thoughts on a Saturday Night: I have a secret. Sometimes, I want to run away. I almost did it once 28 years ago. I pulled into the parking lot of an airport and thought I might just use my empty credit card to take a vacation to a warm spot the next flight was… Continue reading Saturday Night Runaway Mom

Lessons in Attitude
I inadvertently stumbled upon a You Tube soundtrack yesterday that has me captivated. The man who wrote/reads the book Lead the Field has some amazing insight into our Attitude. We (myself at the top of the list!) can learn a lot! Here are some of the point: 1) It is our attitude at the beginning of… Continue reading Lessons in Attitude
The Potentially Most Tragic Day of My Life
I have wanted to write this post for a week an yet, it has taken me this long to do so. Despite the passing of time, my emotions are still swirling. Perhaps that is by design as I never want to forget the events of that Sunday afternoon. When my husband and I had children,… Continue reading The Potentially Most Tragic Day of My Life
He Didn’t Have to Be
I was in first grade when my mom got a new boyfriend. He was tall, dark and handsome! Curiosity abounded, especially because he made me laugh. Their relationship was a whirlwind and it wasn’t long before we were all together in one house and a new baby was on the way. My mother had been… Continue reading He Didn’t Have to Be
How to Love a Porcupine

10 Things You SHOULD Tell Your Kids….But DON’T Until it is Too Late!
Yesterday, as I was cleaning the kitchen, I turned on the garbage disposal. I had very little in the sink but it only made a humming noise. I flipped the button a few times in case by some randomness, I suddenly didn’t know how to use the switch properly and had done it wrong the first time. No such… Continue reading 10 Things You SHOULD Tell Your Kids….But DON’T Until it is Too Late!
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
The Importance of Names
A recent post on a real friend’s social media page stopped me cold in my tracts. She was quite upset at someone she has known for more than 30 years; I had to really think if it was me she was speaking of or whether or not I was actually guilty of doing this…was it… Continue reading The Importance of Names
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!
