PRAYER FOR HEALING
The ugly “C” word has consumed my circle of friends lately. My husband also has undergone treatment for this degenerating, disheartening malady. I often wonder why God choses some to suffer through these things and others go unscathed. When Job … Continue reading
SOME DAYS STUFF HAPPENS
Yesterday started out as an amazing day. We’ve had our share of ups and downs on this roller coaster of selling & buying a house, so it was refreshing to begin the morning with worship and praise. Church is always the best way … Continue reading

BACK FROM LUNCH
Well a week ago, I was trying to sneak in a quick post to indicate that I would be offline for a while, because I was running a 9 AM to 3:30 PM musical theater camp. Needless to say, I … Continue reading
