I have three devotional books I study each morning. Yesterday, the three books had a similar message. I took a portion of each one that spoke to me and formed my own message to share with you. Two of the books are a version of Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young. The other book is BeContinue reading “God’s Got Us!”

Angels Among Us
Last night, my Mom, daughter, granddaughter, son and myself went to see the “Jesus” play in Branson. Every play I’ve seen there has been fantastic, but this one wins as best. Made me cry being reminded of the price Jesus paid for our salvation. But, my experience didn’t end there. I believe God and Gary,Continue reading “Angels Among Us”
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
I know, those of us old enough, remember all too well where we were at the moments those planes slammed into the towers, Pentagon, and that lonely field, shattering our sense of safety, peace, and security. Flags popped up on front porches where they had never flown before. Knees were bent in prayer as weContinue reading “GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
The Word For The Year Is Hope!
“Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark.” George Iles Each year I claim a word for the year. For the last few years I’ve claimed the same word: HOPE. I have this picture in my home of a nest of unlatched eggs and one word: HOPE. Like the mother bird hoping thoseContinue reading “The Word For The Year Is Hope!”
2020 Tried To Take My Christmas
I have always loved Christmas. I used to really decorate all over the house while Gary hung lights perfectly outside. After he passed away, I just didn’t feel the spirit, so the decorating shrunk and I’m ashamed to admit that my celebrating the birth of Jesus also shrunk. I knew the true meaning of Christmas,Continue reading “2020 Tried To Take My Christmas”
And Then I Didn’t
I’ve always been a planner. By the time we were leaving for a vacation, or even a short weekend jaunt, I had made a list, edited the list, and triple checked the list to make sure everything we planned to take was packed. I would plan weeks in advance, or even months, time permitting. EverythingContinue reading “And Then I Didn’t”
Old, but Gold
When I walked outside a couple of mornings ago and was hit by the cold breeze, I was reminded of something my dad said once: “It’s colder than a witch’s tittie in a brass bra”. I never knew what was the difference in a witch’s tittie than any other, but it sounded funny. Then thereContinue reading “Old, but Gold”
Thankful, Grateful, Blessed
Thanksgiving Day at our house is the aroma of turkey and dressing and pumpkin pie. It’s after dinner ballgames on TV, family board games with a glass of wine, or naps in the recliner. Thanksgiving Day at our house is about family. This year is different. There is still the smell of good found cooking,Continue reading “Thankful, Grateful, Blessed”
Happy 47th Wedding Anniversary!
Today would have been our 47th wedding anniversary. I lost him five years ago. Anniversaries were never the same. I would be sad thinking of how much I missed him, how much I loved him, how many things we didn’t get to do, or places we didn’t get to see. I would think of theContinue reading “Happy 47th Wedding Anniversary!”
Four Letter Words
FOUR LETTER WORDS: Have you every thought about the power in those small words with just four letters? Some have the power to comfort, to cheer up, to offer support, and to show kindness. I’ll call these words the Good Four. Four letter words can also destroy, create anger or sadness, ruin relationships, and can’tContinue reading “Four Letter Words”
