This weekend I get to drive 35 miles one way, over 2 mountain passes to do my quarterly stock up shopping at the closest Super Walmart. It is usually an all day ordeal—driving, filling two carts, loading the car, driving, unloading the car, putting all the stuff away.So this week's post is going to be … Continue reading Short and sweet
Some days, I am just stopped dead in my tracks, with my jaw hanging down to the ground. Yesterday was one of those days.After a particularly rough morning, I was sitting at the desk in my office, saying my memory verses out loud and asking God for help and peace.

I am blessed to have her in my life after what seemed to be a “friend drought.” Recently, she got me a Swindoll Study Bible, with my name embossed in gold on the front cover.

When asked why by a news anchor, she said, “It's because I have to tell you every Wednesday that we are getting another snow storm. It's becoming a trend.” I am so ready for spring.

My last post had stinging in it. (See Scorpions.) This one does to, of a different nature. So it's time once again for another tale from the ranch!
