Talk about grateful! Ten years ago today I was the prodigal daughter running back into the arms of my Father. On that glorious day, while I was driving, my regular radio station wasn’t on the air. I began flipping through the channels and “happened” upon a contemporary Christian radio station. The song “Lord I’m Ready … Continue reading 10 years later
I believe that timing is everything. Four months ago I slipped on some chicken poop while bringing the chickens water and tore the meniscus in my left knee. I did not need surgery (thank you God!) but had to wear braces and walk with a cane. I also did physical therapy. The therapist told me … Continue reading Timing is everything
It all started out innocently enough. I was putting out paychecks in envelopes on the door to my office, so the employees could come grab them at the end of the day. A lady in the office next to me happened to be passing by and said she wanted a check too. I told her … Continue reading Check!
Radio commentator Paul Harvey once told a story about a farmer who was a religious skeptic. One cold winter night, the farmer heard a thumping sound at this window. He went to the window and watched a small group of sparrows beat themselves against the glass, attracted to the warmth inside. Touched, the farmer bundled … Continue reading I stand in awe

I tried my very best to rescue this moth. It was stuck inside my office building and kept going up to a big bank of windows just outside my door. It could see the outside, it just couldn't reach it.

I just want to apologize. I normally do a post once a week. But with the bridge closure, I'm trying to navigate my "new normal." When I do drive to and from work, that adds two hours on my day. I've worked out a schedule for my week now on when I'll spend the night … Continue reading Update
You just never know what may happen next. The very next moment something can happen that catches you unaware. It has happened in my life, in my past, and I don't like the feeling of being unprepared. Not being prideful here, but I've always associated myself with the 5 prepared virgins in Matthew 25. “At … Continue reading I did not see that coming
There are some days I just astound myself. It is at times like these that I am overwhelmed with gratitude of what Jesus did for me. Someone said something mean and accusing and before I knew it I reacted in a bad way. “ I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what … Continue reading We all have choices
I'm sure we've all had an encounter with a person like this. They know absolutely everything about everything, and are not at all bashful about sharing their advice and opinions about the situation. Nobody likes a know-it-all. It is especially irritating when the start with, “Well if it were me...” and proceed to tell you … Continue reading Know-it-all
