Okay, girlfriends – I’m caving in to requests for a synopsis of a few of my Coty Near-Facts of Science. Sorry, my publisher won’t let me share ALL the new ones coming out in my fall 2011 and spring 2012 releases, Too Blessed to Stay Stressed and More Beauty, Less Beast, but I can spill ...
Christmas Glitter
Don’t you just love the special treats Papa God sends our way to remind us that He’s intimately involved in every detail of our lives? I call them grace notes. My friend Esther recently told me of one of God’s amazing grace notes in her life. Esther had been dismayed that during her only son’s wedding three ...
Not Just a Pretty Face
I was floored last week to barely recognize a well known actress from a 70s sitcom as she loomed large on my TV screen. I rarely watch TV, but being it’s the Christmas season, my daughter insisted that we catch a few of the Hallmark Hall of Fame cheesy holiday movies. I had to double ...
Let’s Party!
After 40 years of reading the Bible cover to cover, I discovered something I never knew yesterday while perusing the book of Exodus. But then again, maybe I’m the only one in the world who wasn’t clued in. Did you know that Moses wasn’t the only one (besides Adam and Eve) to actually see God face to face ...
Oy! Coty Meets Coyote
I had heard rumors of missing cats in our semi-rural neighborhood, and even a blood and guts description of, well, the blood and gut remains one neighbor found of her cat one foggy morning. There were several accounts of coyote sightings caught in headlights during the wee hours of the night. And then this morning, ...
Trapping the Weasel
Fear is a covert weasel that can sneak in under the wire and wreak havoc in our feelings and decisions without us even being aware of the wily little beast. I’ve never been more aware of this fact than last week when my daughter asked me to accompany her and her husband to their 12-week ...
Meet my future daughter-in-law!
? ? My son is engaged! Matthew popped the question to his beautiful Rebecca at our Smoky Mt. cabin last week. No date yet but we’ll keep you posted! Copyright Your Blog Name 2012 at DeboraCoty.blogspot.com
The Party’s Over
Just got back from a wonderful, relaxing week in the Smokies where Spouse and I saw no less than 7 deer, 2 foxes, a gazillion chipmonks (a rare treat for us Floridians) and a few elderly squirrels. Not exactly like this one – most used canes instead of walkers. As an extra treat, we had ...
A little spiritual refreshment
Enjoying a girls day at the beach for fun, food and Bible Study with my spiritual sisters a few weeks ago. Okay, back to my series of Scripture meditations from my personal spiritual retreat. This one is from Zephaniah 3:17, CEV: The Lord your God wins victory after victory and is always with you. He clebrates and sings ...
If You Can’t Fix it, Decorate it!
I didn’t know the neighbor at the far end of my walking route, but I felt badly for them. One night during the sweltering summer months, someone had backed into their brick mailbox stand, toppling the top half of the four-foot-high monument adorning their front yard. Apparently too heavy to remount, the beheaded portion stood akilter alongside its ...
