Wow! The Christmas season is in full swing! Carols on the radio and overhead in the stores, people, and auto traffic have increased. My neighborhood is lit up, and on the weekends, cars line the streets as folks begin to entertain. One of my favorite downtime activities is Christmas movies. I love Hallmark because IContinue reading “Happy Endings”

True North
One of my favorite things to do when I visit friends and even family is to take note of the things people decorate their home with or put on display. I have learned it can be the silent conversation folks have about themselves and their interests. You can learn a lot about the person byContinue reading “True North”
I Am The Good Shepherd.
One of my favorite times during my Christmas decorating is incorporating some of my nativities around the house. I have collected them for several years and have many from other countries. But my favorite is the one passed down to me from my mom. While still working, my mother joined a ceramics class to haveContinue reading “I Am The Good Shepherd.”
Family Tradition
I had the blessing of coming up through a large extended family. When I was a child, being together for a holiday was a big deal. We planned at New Year’s if we would have a Tennessee Christmas or a Michigan one that year. This meant either my grandparents came to all of us orContinue reading “Family Tradition”
Lions and Cobras, and Dragons Oh My!
One of the amazing revelations, as I continue to grow in my relationship with the Lord, is how many teachable moments there are in my daily life. God uses everything from dogs to diamonds to affirm His truth in my life. As I grow and write, more and more, I am reminded of the experiencesContinue reading “Lions and Cobras, and Dragons Oh My!”

My pipe dream is an outdoor kitchen!. However, when it is time to turn in, the hardwood floorsContinue reading “Camping With Confidence”
Vaccinated for Victory
I have to admit when it comes to this portion of Psalm 91, I have very mixed emotions about this passage. Especially given that we are in a global pandemic. After much prayer, I decided not to evade or avoid this part of the scripture. I know that God promises in His word in 2Continue reading “Vaccinated for Victory”
The Great Escape
One of my closest friends is an adventurer at heart. Though she is shy and is on the quiet side, she is always up for a challenge to stimulate the senses. One of her favorite activities with friends has been “the escape room” experience. This is a relatively new leisure outing where you get lockedContinue reading “The Great Escape”
Light as a Feather
Recently, I discovered there is a new fad in the bedding market that is quite popular. It is known as the weighted blanket. When I read the label, I laughed and thought this would have been a great thought when I was writing the devotion on rest. The info on the packaging says that usingContinue reading “Light as a Feather”
