Mary Poppins had it right. Just a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down. Or as Solomon said in Proverbs 17:22, a cheerful heart is good medicine. I do my best every day to use my gift of encouragement to be that spoon fill of sugar in someone's life. Because face it, sometimes … Continue reading Take your medicine
You will never forget your first time. (And every time thereafter ain't bad either.) When you experience it, the absolute power of it is so awesome, you break out in gleeful giggles! You step back and think, “Wow! Did that just happen? I need to do that again!” I'm talking about a giggle switch. This … Continue reading Giggle
I'll never know what he is going to show with after he's gone to the livestock auction. Once it was goats. Another time a couple of sheep. Some times my husband buys some great animals.

I was out running errands on my lunch break in January. I distinctly heard the Lord Yahweh say to … Continue reading Comfort Zone
I'm sitting here deciding what to wear to work today. My bell bottom jeans and groovy love beads, or my polyester leisure suit. Now that's outdated! My husband and I enjoy watching older TV shows. A couple of examples are Wagon Train and Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp. We enjoy them because the characters … Continue reading Outdated
My dentist said that I need a crown. I was like, “I know, right? I like to start my posts with a joke, if I can. It grabs your attention and puts a smile on your face.
