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.) Defined, a game changer is a newly introduced element or factor that changes an existing situation or activity in a significant way. “Faith comes … Continue reading Game changer
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!

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!
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
If you see someone laughing out loud in the greeting card aisle at the store, it is probably me. I could easily spend hours looking for funny cards to encourage someone. Yes, I am that person. The one who has a stash of cards handy for whatever may come up. I also have a box … Continue reading Better to give
Across a good deal of the United States we are experiencing record high temperatures. At my house we have an outdoor thermometer that has a digital readout inside. When I ask my husband how hot it is, he replies, “Hotter than Africa!” So my brain made a connection when a friend of mine recently told … Continue reading Hotter than Africa
After the close call that I shared with you in my last post, it has been a rough week. God's provision saving me from an ugly outcome was beyond amazing. I had headaches, a lump on the top of my head, aches and pains in my neck and shoulders, but can report that I am … Continue reading Rough week
