A LUMP OF CLAY
There’s something about a lump of clay – it’s malleable. In the right hands, with the right tools, the clay moves and becomes a different form or shape. In the Bible, we’re told that we are the clay and God … Continue reading
HIDING BEHIND A MASK
I have a collection of masks. They aren’t really the kind you wear, but they look interesting hanging on a wall. Since we moved seven years ago, those masks remain in the box they were packed in. I haven’t found … Continue reading
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
Since it’s TBT, I’m sharing a post from 2014. Jesus has been my family’s shepherd for a lifetime. Even when it seems that we’re getting close to the end of our journey here on earth, we can draw comfort from … Continue reading
HOLY SPIRIT, LIFE DIVINE

NEW SUMMER MEMORIES

UNEXPECTED BLESSINGS
Life is full of blessings if we just look for them. I’ve mentioned that we’re experiencing some very hot days with extreme dew points lately. Yesterday, we took another weekly drive. I was able to make it from the house … Continue reading
LIVE YOUR LIFE
When we’re limited by our age, by our health, our thinking, we tend to hold back on things we might still be able to do. I’m learning this more and more each day. Yesterday, a simple task of picking up … Continue reading
HOMEWARD BOUND
The photo attached to this post made me think of the journey my husband and I are traveling right now. We started our life together as high school buddies at the age of 13. He was a fun person to … Continue reading
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO LET GO?
The idea of wrestling with God seems pointless to me. The results are obvious. We can’t win that battle, no matter how hard we try. Every struggle in life has a connection to that very subject. When we come into … Continue reading
TIME FOR AN UPGRADE?
This week has been filled with re-runs of past posts. I often use this process to regroup – to heed my own advice – to find a topic of interest. This post was written at the beginning of the COVID-19 … Continue reading
GOOD GRIEF!
Poor, old Charlie Brown – never could cut a break. One of the world’s most favorite cartoon characters, created by Charles M. Schulz had a daily struggle with the same kinds of problems we often face. If it wasn’t being … Continue reading
IS AGING REALLY LIKE FINE WINE & CHEESE?
The idea of growing old never occurred to me until I became part of the silver haired generation. It still doesn’t hold much interest. In fact I’m trying to avoid it completely. Age isn’t particularly where anyone in our society wants to … Continue reading

GENDER BLENDER
I’m certain to get a reaction from my post today. It is not my intention to judge. I am a sinner, just like everyone else on this planet. Everyone I know, knows I believe in God. I trust everything in … Continue reading
GOD SHATTERS THE DARKNESS
The opaque murkiness of an impenetrable sky surrounds you. Your mind swirls with empty thoughts. You feel alone, lost, unapproachable, frightened. There is nothing but darkness. There is the apprehension of mystery when you’re in complete blackness – a somberness that encumbers … Continue reading
FALL IN LOVE WITH JESUS
We daily walk through the wilderness of life. We are tested at every turn – surrounded by danger and fear – Swallowed up by loneliness – devoured by doubt. We are on a pilgrimage towards our final destination. Days are … Continue reading
