Celebrating Moms
I have SO enjoyed hearing about your moms and mom/figures and the impact they’ve had on your lives. I couldn’t wait to share as many that would fit in this small space with our awesome community of BFFs (Blessed Friends Forever); I just know you’ll be as uplifted by them as I was. So without ...
Fame is Forever Fleeting
Fame was my friend this week. I know, whose fame, right? What I mean is, because someone knew who I was through my writing and therefore was willing to trust me, I was able to act as Jesus’ love with skin on it. When I was a girl, I dreamed of one day becoming a ...
Pandemic Prayers
Are you, like me, eager to pray for, well … everything concerning the COVID-19 crisis assaulting our world at present, but you just can’t fathom how to cover the vast myriad of needs? Then I have great news for you, my BBFF (Blessed Blog Friend Forever)! Last week I received this terrific list of Prayer Points specifically ...
Cuddlers in Warm Jammies
“Mimi,” my 4-year-old grandson Breydon implored, his sleepy brown eyes gazing up into my own, “would you sing us a song?” He and his twin sister Breeja filled my lap as we snuggled close for prayers in the rocking chair at the end of a long day. (I’ve always assured them that Papa God was ...
Cross My Heart
Okay folks, this is the last post about my freshly unearthed memory-treasures from my COVID-19 clean-out-the-attic project. I promise. Cross my heart and hope to die; stick a needle in my eye. Step on a crack, break my mama’s back. If I lie, spit in my eye. Sorry. Something about the memories all this childhood ...
What We Keep
If you follow my blog (and I certainly hope you do!), you’ll recall that last week I mentioned cleaning out my attic as my first big COVID-19 project. Well, it’s turning into a HUGE and NEVERENDING project. Sigh. Nevertheless, it’s been fun waxing nostalgic at the long-forgotten stuff Spouse has been hauling down daily. Some ...
Into The Dark Unknown
During these days of social isolation and facing the dark unknown of a runaway virus, Spouse and I have decided to boldly face another kind of dark unknown. Yep. We’re cleaning out our attic. Now this isn’t just a little extra storage space created by a few sheets of nailed down plywood here. I’m talking ...
Raw Noodle in a Bowl of Spaghetti
I love to dance. I always have, since I was a little boogie baby. Just can’t stop this gal from groovin’ when a great song is playing. That’s one of the reasons I’m in children’s ministry at church – nobody raises an eyebrow at the Bible Story Lady getting her bad self down to a ...
Sooo Good
I’ve been trying to focus on gratitude lately, searching for new blessings to be thankful for each day. Well, maybe not new blessings, because many of them have been here all along, but I haven’t been tuned in enough to intentionally re-receive them with the gratitude they deserve. While perusing some old files (yes, the old ...
