About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

I’M A THEATRE JUNKIE

I think it began when I was three. Mother enrolled me in ballet, tap, jazz and baton lessons – thinking I would someday become the next Shirley Temple.  I learned to step, shuffle, ball and change before I knew my … Continue reading

TO SOAR WITH EAGLES

The glory of the Lord is painted throughout His creation, Wafting down from the heights of heaven as an eagle, Upon whose tremendous wingspan touches every cloud, Carving through granite mountains with the touch of a finger, Glistening in the … Continue reading

ASHES TO ASHES

No one likes to acknowledge that they will die. It’s one of those things we try to keep in the back of our mind until a friend or loved one passes away. It raises its ugly head when you receive … Continue reading

WHEN ALL WE CAN DO IS PRAY . . .

IN GOD’S PRESENCE

THE BEGINNING OF BIRTH PAINS

DON’T GIVE UP

God gives us some good advice in James 1:3 & 4. He tells us to hang in there – to hold on to our beliefs – to trust in His wisdom. It isn’t always easy to do that, especially when … Continue reading

PRESIDENT’S DAY

Somewhere between then and now it became politically incorrect to use the Bible as a reference point by presidents of our country.  Ronald Reagan wasn’t afraid to talk about God or about the founding of our nation under God’s laws and … Continue reading

WELCOME TO MORE OF THE SAME

FLEETING MEMORIES

Howling, whistling, streaming through a patch of aging trees, The wind surprises and upsets and strips them of their leaves, One day a lush green canopy, another turned to gold, Soon withered, dry and sapped of life, they waiver in … Continue reading
