“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
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).

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
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!

After much contemplation and talk, I’m finally doing it! I’m adding my voice to the world of blogs. “Why”? you may ask.
