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”

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 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”
I Shall Not Want
If ever we have had the opportunity to examine the difference between needs and wants, it has been through this viral challenge. Most of us have had the luxury of time to contemplate our ‘stuff status. Several of us have had all we need plus some, while others have gone without essentials. If you have never hadContinue reading “I Shall Not Want”
The Lord is My Shepherd
My grandmother once told me that I had a mind that liked to ‘take things a part and put them back together.” I think this was her way of saying I was analytical before I was old enough to understand what that was. My grandmother was a teacher and a principal. She instilled in othersContinue reading “The Lord is My Shepherd”
Song of Truth
My earliest memories from childhood are that of my Dad rocking and singing to me, with his warm “fuzzy” baritone. All the tones weren’t even and smooth, but they sure were comforting. Our song was an old hymn entitled, “Child of the King.” Adopted at 3 months of age, both my parents were committed toContinue reading “Song of Truth”
