Who Else Is Afraid Of The Dark? I made my way down the long, dark hallway. It was pitch-black. I couldn’t see a thing. Definitely not a full moon this night. But, I woke up in the middle of the night thirsty, thus my nocturnal trip to the kitchen. It was just as dark walking … More The Helping Hand Of God In The Midst Of Darkness

These normally attention-straight bursts of color — a friend identified them as Agapanthus — were leaning eastward … More A Good Lesson From Flowers: Lean Into The Son
Sometimes a change of scenery is just what you need. My husband and I had to check on some things at my family’s cabin in the mountains of North Carolina this week. Having been confined to our home in Florida for the past couple of months, it was a welcome break. Spring is just arriving … More Why Being In The Mountains Is Good For The Soul

Sailors sailing on the high seas and soldiers fighting in historical wars survived on some form of bread. In more modern times, the bread shelves empty as people prepare for the threat of … More Bread – It’s What We Need The Most
God’s timing is perfect and often very interesting. On April 17, 2019 at 2:00 in the afternoon, we said goodbye to our beloved corgi, Higgins. One year later, on April 17, 2020 at approximately 3:00, we picked up a new addition to our empty nest — a labradoodle puppy! Goodbyes Are So Hard We were … More The Year Without A Dog
