When I think about it, what God has called me to do so far has not made my head explode. Sure, there have been things that seem overwhelming and beyond my ability, but when I step out and obey, He always steps in and helps me accomplish it. Which is what I was thinking the … Continue reading You want me to do what?!
Friday, my best friend and I had our favorite, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in my office. I set up the card table, put out the place mats, put out all the fixin's and we were set. Another beautiful friend, (thanks Linda!) provided the homemade raspberry jam. Little chocolates were available for dessert. Now we … Continue reading PB & J’s in heaven
Way back in the last millennium, 1995 to be exact, I had the opportunity to go to Mexico for a month with the business and Spanish departments at my university. I had actually already graduated in May and this trip was scheduled for July. I signed up even though I did not need the credits. … Continue reading Mother tongue
Oh boy, are we going to have some fun in this post! It is about bartering, or trading goods or services without money changing hands. Say you've got some potatoes from your garden that I'd like to have, and I in turn, have a shovel that would work great in your garden. We agree on … Continue reading Barter

And frankly, I'm ashamed of myself. But God, in His infinite kindness to me, … Continue reading Enough already!
This just in!I'm having a fantastic day! The work of my hands is fulfilling God's purpose for me, others, and is bringing Him the glory. I've been a blessing by encouraging others today. In turn, I've been encouraged by others. I'm vital and alive and full of the joy of the Lord. Because of what … Continue reading Breaking news!
The more I'm digging into my Bible study on Communion, that more God is revealing to me. I am going to share the actual study with you when I have it all sorted out on how to present it in blog fashion, I promise. But in the meantime, I still get little glimmers of things … Continue reading Unconditionally
Some days it is just plain painful to watch the news. So I don't. I'm not sticking my head in the sand, I still keep current with world events, but my soul does not need to be fed evil. Last week I replied to a fellow blogger that I have named my acts of kindness … Continue reading Offsets
