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”
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”
The Survey
Sometimes when I begin a project, especially one that requires what is referred to as “elbow grease,” I can get overwhelmed and talk myself into putting the project off. One of my least favorite household tasks is cleaning out the garage. Because in South Carolina, where I now reside, they don’t have basements. So, asContinue reading “The Survey”
All In: Cardiac Perspective
As I was preparing to write this segment in this series, I stopped to think about how often I receive information about what is good for my heart. Many items I pass by and some I purchase at the grocery store are labeled as heart-healthy. I recently saw where Cheerios changed their shape into tinyContinue reading “All In: Cardiac Perspective”
All In. A Meditation on the Shema, I’m all Ears!
As I previously shared, every year, I have a watchword. It’s a process for this word to come to me but suffice it to say, it comes by prayer, meditation, and reflection. My word for 2022 is “new.” It has already been realized in these short weeks as I settle into a new way ofContinue reading “All In. A Meditation on the Shema, I’m all Ears!”
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!”
Even Though I am Successful
Inside my grandmother’s house, there was a place like many families have, where we would go stand against the wall and have our height evaluated. Placing our heels tight against the wall and straining to be as tall as possible with fellow cousins standing around calling out for “no cheating!” Our grandmother would place theContinue reading “Even Though I am Successful”
Waking Up
He looked out over the land through the palace window and watched all of the people moving about the grain silos like ants around a mound. Joseph noted today there were many caravans from far away places today. He could tell by the peoples’ dress and colorful blankets on their animal packs. He reached outContinue reading “Waking Up”
Captured Dreams
Joseph’s mouth was dry and all he could taste was the sand and grit that the desert wind had blown into the water reservoir. While the smooth walls surrounding Joseph were 4 or 5 times his height, they offered no shade from the blistering desert sun. During summer, often the reservoir would be filled with gentleContinue reading “Captured Dreams”
