Once again I'm deeply saddened by what's being put out on the internet. Yesterday someone lashing out at someone else typed out, “when you pray to your Xtian God, who forgives and forgets, but I don't.” At first I thought what was that word? Then it dawned on me, the person was so opposed to … Continue reading X marks the spot
I love taking long hot baths. When my husband was building the house at our ranch, we decided we were going to install the deepest, longest tub we could find. We did just that. We also put insulation all around the underside of said tub, so the water would remain hot longer. Now I can … Continue reading Being Pruney
Widespread outbreak. That is the definition of pandemic, and we have all been living with the craziness and aftermath that it has caused in the world. But then a moment comes, when someone tells you something and the truth of it makes you catch your breath. That happened to me recently. A good friend of … Continue reading Pandemic of Kindness
There is nothing I like more than a game of peek-a-boo with a baby. What absolute joy to make a baby laugh! A baby's laugh lets me know there is a God who created beauty! Cover your eyes with your hands, open them up and say boo! Sometimes, I think we play peek-a-boo with God … Continue reading Games
I usually wake up before the alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. Yesterday I was deliciously snuggled in my warm cocoon of blankets. It was 6 degrees F (-14 C) outside, so I was savoring my warm bed while chatting with God. I asked Him what wonderful things He's going to share with me today. … Continue reading Smokin’ hot

My gift of the Spirit is encouragement and I do whatever I can to make that happen each and every day to brighten someone else's day. I had a daily devotional where the writer … Continue reading Road signs
There are too many forces in the world, seen and unseen, that are trying to get you off track, and suck you into the darkness. Let this be your new sentence: NO! This is a powerful two letter sentence. Darkness is always trying to overpower the light. Learn how to say no, and put it … Continue reading “No” is a complete sentence
I learn some pretty valuable lessons while doing chores at the ranch. Not a whole lot else to do but pray and think while I'm filling up three 75 gallon tubs with water, for five cows we have sectioned off from the rest of the herd. It actually started when I was watering the chickens. … Continue reading I’m clear flowing water
I am overwhelmed and exhausted. It seems as if I have been waging war forever! No, not because it is tax season, silly, but spiritual warfare and other battles. When I get like this and the tears are flowing, I know God is there. I know because I know! Sometimes it takes me a bit … Continue reading Tear stained eyes
Sometimes I find God means for me to linger on a certain message until I work through it all. I call it soul simmering. I need to ponder and simmer on it until He deems otherwise. That happened recently when I read a post by Jennifer Arimborgo entitled You're Gonna Want to Write that Down. … Continue reading Soul Simmering Goodness
