I love babies. My favorite thing when my son was a baby was the smell of his head. I guess that's why I love the line in the song Away in a Manger that says “the little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.” So when I read this the other day about His precious … Continue reading A fall to my knees moment
A few months back I had a game changing experience. My head, heart and soul literally burst into kittens, rainbows and unicorns! (Well, not really, but it sure felt like it.)

In doing so, I have been meditating on each verse throughout the week and ask God to reveal what else … Continue reading Going Deeper
It sure sounds like a lot of work to me! Having worked at the ranch, cutting through rocky areas to lay pipelines, and fence lines, please know, I speak from experience. The first one mentioned in the Bible was for Abraham's wife Sarah. (Gen. 23:20) Rock cut tombs were a form of burial and interment … Continue reading A matter of perspective
I had to go to Home Depot yesterday. As soon as I walked in to my right were the Christmas decorations. To my left were the Halloween decorations. Further down in the store were the Thanksgiving decorations. And it was only October 21st! Yikes, talk about overload! When I mentioned this to the lady helping … Continue reading What a mashup!
Sometimes it is just habit, but then I'm aware of what just came out of my mouth, and I have to think, “Enough already!” For the last two weeks I've really been paying attention to the words I'm speaking out loud.
