Perfect Love

April 22, 2015

If I am not careful, I can let the worries of this world overtake me.  I can allow my fears to paralyze me and render me useless.  The one thing I believe has helped me the most in dealing with fear is being a student of the Bible.  Years of reading and studying God’s word … More Perfect Love

Feelings are Fickle

April 8, 2015

     “I think I’ve figured out what is wrong with me.  I don’t feel like a mom anymore”! Those are the words I texted to my good friend, knowing full well she would respond with words of encouragement.  She understands because she is in a similar season of life.  The main difference between us … More Feelings are Fickle

A Different Perspective

April 1, 2015

I recently returned home from a trip to North Carolina with a good friend.  It was our 2nd annual “March Madness” getaway. (We were getting away from the NCAA basketball playoffs which were consuming each of our husband’s attentions).  We had a wonderful visit in Asheville, NC and Banner Elk, NC where these two Florida … More A Different Perspective

Cookie Girl

March 11, 2015

Have you ever had something as simple and seemingly insignificant as a cookie take you back in time?  I have.  It was just a few weeks ago. There I was, pushing my cart down the aisle of my local grocery store (Publix, of course) when I came upon these lovely little cookies, prominently displayed to … More Cookie Girl

A Leap Of Faith

March 4, 2015

God could write his message across the clouds for anyone to read but he chooses us to write it – Mark Hancock, Co-Director of Florida Christian Writers Conference These were only a few of the enlightening words I heard this past weekend at the Florida Christian Writers Conference.  What a marvelous learning experience!  I’m so thankful … More A Leap Of Faith

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2015

There is something special about New Year’s Day.  It is a day of hope and promise.  A day of looking ahead.  Maybe this will be the year that I finally get organized, get in shape, get a plan . . . just fill in the blank! The image I get in my mind is that … More Happy New Year!

Music in the Morning

September 10, 2014

I often wake up in the morning with a song “playing” in my mind.  It can be anything from an old hymn I’ve known since my childhood or the latest contemporary Christian tune.  One morning last week the song of the morning was “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” (Text and Music by Helen H. Lemmel).   … More Music in the Morning

A Dream, A Gift

September 5, 2014

I am a dreamer.  I don’t mean that I while away my days in aimless thought.  Rather, I experience a nocturnal adventure in my mind most every night!  I think I may have inherited this trait from my Grandmother.  She was a dreamer too and according to some folkloric advice, taught me to never share … More A Dream, A Gift
