Writing this Wednesday evening to schedule for posting at 7 on Thursday. A lot to take in. Started the day with my daughter, Beth receiving a text that the woman she’s supposed to be living with went to the hospital. The woman, Miss Lynn, contacted Beth last week and said that she had Covid, but …
Today’s the big day! In just a few hours, we head out on the long drive to Mississippi. We’ll stop halfway and spend the night just South of Nashville because neither of us is big on long drives. I look forward to the journey, but I get a little choked up every time I think …
Moving into the Freshman dorm was like I’d “arrived.” I was an independent adult, ready to take on (and conquer) the world. It’s shameful to admit, but I couldn’t wait for my parents to leave so I could begin this new life. That lasted about a week–well, not quite that long.Within a few days, I …
When I sat down this morning, I had no idea what I would write about, but God came through. I opened a document that I began writing the other day and at the top was my life verse. It fits perfectly with my upcoming week, and surely there are many people out there who are …

When I was a little girl, I kneeled next to my bed every night and said my prayers out loud with my hands clasped, my head lowered, and my eyes closed. At some point, I stopped praying that way and instead said them silently as I laid in bed, most of the time falling asleep …
As a follow-up to yesterday, I think God led me to look up ‘draw closer to God’ so that I would do the research I ended up doing. The woman using that name has been leading her ministry for 20 years. Lately, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed with what I believe God wants me to do. …
I’m not big on change. The familiar, tried-and-true is much more comfortable. So these past few days on WordPress have been a little unsettling. It doesn’t “feel” cozy like it did on Blogspot. The posts seem like they’re shouting because the photos and words are so large. I don’t like shouting, especially at six a.m. …
John 14:15 ESV“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. It should be that simple. There are just two commandments:…“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’…‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 22:37b, 39b ESV)The first one, I feel pretty good about.
