I don't ever recall change bothering me more than change bothers the average person.All that has changed now.Change sucks.I would always get impatient with my grandparents about not wanting to do something different, go here or there. I continued with that impatient, lack of grace, with my own parents and in-laws.Now I'm there. I don't [...]

We attended a wedding on Saturday. It was one of the most fun weddings ever! There was a lot of laughter and a few mistakes and it was all good, sweet and personable. Just like a wedding should be. During the wedding, Russell ran the sound system. I am an Event Widow. My spouse is [...]

Isaiah 18:4. From Streams in the Desert 1.4 This is what the LORD says to me:"I will remain quiet and will look on from my dwelling place..."His stillness, quietness, does not mean consent or acquiescence.

Something is up with dat.I admit...between the raging hormones, children coming and going all summer, and impending going for months in the Fall, VBS (oh. my. word. 100+ children every day! and they were all in and out of my office at least a zillion times each day), and well just basic life, I have [...]

There is something so fun and exciting about being 47.5 years of age. On paper, it doesn't look old, but today I am feeling old. I know what to blame. The Big H. I could tell by the way I was irritated that I had to make coffee this morning that the hormones are definitely [...]

My bff, Jill's hubby retired from the Air Force. For all you military brats out there...you know that there is something special [...]

Somehow, I ended up here a minute ago.But this is what I was meant to be there for:...but those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles;they will run and not grow weary;they will walk and not faint. --Isaiah 40:31This was so meant for me today. Thank [...]

Today. What will I choose to do with this day? Some things are out of my control...Sarah is at work (she's working at a vet clinic...she LOVES it and apparently has a steel coated stomach, able to withstand all she's seen AND done so far) and she will need to be picked up around 12:00. [...]

Several years ago, as my parents were beginning to clean out their house to downsize to a smaller home in the same town, my dad gave me this picture. It is my dad when he graduated from PMC back in 1959, I believe it was. This is my oldest child last week: You can be [...]

You do it, too. You have in your head how it is going to be. How it is going to look. The way it is all going to turn out.And then it doesn't.So you have a choice.Do I whine, pout, stomp my foot in anger? disappointment? frustration? selfishness?Or do I just go with it?I have [...]
