Even though…

Even though…

The words in Habakkuk 3:17-19 meshes perfectly with mine and Tim’s recent day of fishing. We headed out about twenty miles to go offshore fishing. We could see rain clouds ahead of us. Do you weave around them or go through them? Regardless, they were obstacles in our...
Gratitude on Memorial Day

Gratitude on Memorial Day

There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 This verse epitomizes what millions of military service men and women have done for our freedom. Memorial Day, a day to remember those who have lost their lives for our country. While...
When I whistle to them

When I whistle to them

This photo is framed and on my bedside table. It was taken back in 2017. Heights and hairstyles have changed, but the joy of having my kiddos with me sure hasn’t. (I think we need to do a retake of this pic.) Ever since my children were little, when we were separated...
