WHAT TIME IS IT?
There’s something about losing an hour that completely throws me off. You’d think I’d be happy for the extra few minutes of sunshine and delighted that it will stay dark until 7 AM, but for me, daily savings time is … Continue reading
I LOVE MY DOG GAGE
Our dog is a Llewellyn Setter going on seven years old. It took him more than six years to warm up to us. Perhaps it’s because of his British lineage that he’s a bit on the stuffy side. On the … Continue reading
THE MOM GAME

A VALENTINE FOR MY HUSBAND
The touch of your hand, the power behind the hugs you give, The joy I receive when I see you smile and know you’ have peace, The feeling I get when you come home from a trip away from home, … Continue reading

ARE TIMES REALLY CHANGING?
It would be easy to sit here in my old age and ponder the demise of today’s youth, but I find it really hard to do that. I could expound on the differences of kids in my day and the ones … Continue reading
TURN YOUR FROWN UPSIDE DOWN
The reflection we see in a mirror tells a lot about who we are inside, but often we mask what we really feel or think. As we age, the scars of life wrinkle and tug at the corners of our … Continue reading
THE WILD FRONTIER
Picture a time where guns were a part of your daily apparel – where they were used to put food on the table, go to war and defend yourself. Now think about the outlaw who used his guns to terrorize the community – to hold up … Continue reading
PROPHETESS ANNA
Married at an early age and widowed for 84 years, Anna must have been nearing 100 or more. As I get older I and am fully aware of the toll age takes on a body. Not only are we wearing out physically, but our … Continue reading
My Identity
I am but a speck – a dot – an insignificant piece of the puzzle. My presence on this planet is nothing in comparison to others I will be remembered for no great accomplishments in the world’s eyes – no … Continue reading

Crackling flames spit sparks onto the sides of a fire pit. Golden toasted marshmallows hang tightly to a green branch. The chill of winter invades your joints and consumes your breath. A fleecy blanket caresses your shoulders. You move closer. … Continue reading
TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
For the past eight months I’ve wakened early to write a new post for my blog. I’m not getting any younger and feel an urgency to express my gratitude to God for what He’s done for me. It took me … Continue reading
