“Surely your goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life,and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:6 I came to facebook in 2018 because I was doing an ancestry search, and it was a great way to exchange photos, documents with fellow seekers and long lost relatives thatContinue reading “Something is Following Me”

What’s In My Cup?
Over the last 3 months I have experienced an emotional roller coaster ride that has transformed my perspective on almost every dimension of my life. Some days my optimism wins out and I make it through the day with a shaky confidence that the world will eventually right itself and I will return to some senseContinue reading “What’s In My Cup?”
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
One of things I have missed the most over these last 3 months is having people in for a meal. I love to cook and have been accused of being a “foodie” on more than one occasion. I like planning a meal, shopping, and setting the table. Especially setting the table! I’m guilty of having aContinue reading “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”
Ode to Dad
Right from the very start, God had a special plan. It would be a good while before I would really come to appreciate and comprehend the part a person could play in that plan. From the moment you heard his voice, his warm smile captured my heart and his memories reside their providing joy rightContinue reading “Ode to Dad”
He Comforts
Anyone who knows me or is remotely close to me knows I am a Daddy’s girl through and through. Though both my parents were loving and committed, it was Dad we asked for or turned to when we were sick, frightened or distressed. He had an innate way of comfort about him. Between mom andContinue reading “He Comforts”
Even Though
In my home over the main hallway arch are two words that I see several times a day. It was a gift from a friend who knows these words are from some of my favorite scripture in Habakkuk 3: “Even Though.” The words are a big reminder for me not to lose my perspective in the middleContinue reading “Even Though”
The Right Path
Fads and trends come and go, clothes go in and out of style quickly and along with these fickle seasons come buzzwords. These words hang around for a while and then after they have made their mark on our culture, they retire to a status quickly defined as retro. What was once groovy, became cool, thenContinue reading “The Right Path”
He Restores.
He was an awkward child, born severely cross-eyed into a home of not one but two raging alcoholic parents. He was the youngest of 5 children and was 2 years old when social services came into his home and took custody of him and his other siblings. The agency estimated that the children had beenContinue reading “He Restores.”
He Leads
I recently decided I would not follow the news as closely as I had been. I realized staying in the know had taken on a different dimension, and had moved me from being informed to being transformed. I could start my day with a prayerful attitude to accompany my cup of coffee, yet mere minutesContinue reading “He Leads”
He Makes Me Lie Down
What once was a blazing roaring fire, had now settled down into dim gentle flames, licking what logs were left in the campfire. The red hot coals encircling the wood were still throwing off heat, but had dissipated enough that the soldier lying nearby had chillfully awakened out of his nocturnal nap. It had beenContinue reading “He Makes Me Lie Down”
