With the leftovers from Thanksgiving consumed and the Christmas decorations popping up in the neighborhood (my house included), it isn’t hard for me to catch the spirit of ‘Christmas is coming! When I was a little girl, I always wrote my letter to Santa Thanksgiving weekend and made sure Daddy put it in the mail MondayContinue reading “The Struggle with Despair…. Finding Hope”

The Struggle with Fairness…Finding Justice
Have you taken notice of the current trend that the wonderful world of entertainment offers all of us? Almost every channel offers some version of court proceedings. People like Judge Judy and Judge Wapner became household names due to the public rubbernecking of seeing folks get their day in court. You can see who theContinue reading “The Struggle with Fairness…Finding Justice”
The Struggle with Obedience..Finding my Response
Growing up in a large extended family meant that when we all gathered (weekends, holidays, and summers), there was ample time and people to make playtime fun. We did not grow up in the entertainment age, which meant we played board and yard games to occupy our time. One of the crowd favorites was “MotherContinue reading “The Struggle with Obedience..Finding my Response”
The Struggle with God’s Will ..Finding my Place
One of the most frustrating things in life that most of us have experienced is being lost. Not knowing where you are and trying to find an address or location in an unfamiliar area. There are times we may know where we are but haven’t the foggiest idea of where “they” or “it” is. IContinue reading “The Struggle with God’s Will ..Finding my Place”
The Struggle With Prayer…… Finding answers
“God is good, God is great, thank you for our food, amen.” This was the first prayer I learned to pray. It was taught to me by my parents long before I started school. My brother and I used to argue over whose turn it was to pray, both of us wanting to lead out.Continue reading “The Struggle With Prayer…… Finding answers”

Many people do not realize that Pontius Pilate asked, “What is truth?” during his inquest of Jesus Christ. That question was undoubtedly pertinent to that hour and has not diminished in importance despite the time. Many folks from many walks of life still quarrel with the answer. How this question is answered by a personContinue reading “The Struggle and Finding Truth”
Now What?
I am a few days late writing the last in this series. Hurricane Ian decided to pay a visit to South Carolina; my attention was required elsewhere. We are so grateful that we only suffered minimal damage. We lost a few wax myrtle trees in our backyard and some outdoor light fixtures. Our hearts areContinue reading “Now What?”
THE REVEAL
I love it when I finish a project! Whether I am renovating, writing, or just cleaning up, it is a relief when I see the finished project. In 2006, Jim and I had a home built, and it was exciting to see ground cleared, foundations poured and progress made. We would proudly announce joyfully, “WeContinue reading “THE REVEAL”
The Plot Thickens
As an amateur gardener (emphasis on amateur), it is the time of year that I least enjoy in the yard. The early fruits of my spring efforts have taken a beating by the hot and humid South Carolina heat. Flowers and foliage have crispy edges that, despite all the rain, have given up their struggle against theContinue reading “The Plot Thickens”
Standing Gaurd
The phone I usually carry in my pocket sends me an alert from my security system camera informing me someone is on my front porch. You can’t leave a store without being stopped if the cashier did not remove all the proper tags because the alarm system will let the personnel( and everyone else shopping)Continue reading “Standing Gaurd”
