Run from Danger

Run from Danger

Stay away from that path; don’t even go near it. Turn around and go another way.  Proverbs 4:15 Walking the Blackwater Creek Preserve with my man is peaceful, and sometimes eventful way to begin my morning. This week, we were chatting and walking, when I notice we had...

A Day For The Birds…or simply capturing peace

A Day For The Birds…or simply capturing peace

Yesterday was a day “for the birds”.  Literally.  While I was enjoying some time with Jesus on my husband’s barn porch,  “Tim’s Shack”  , a plethora of birds began congregating in front of me, eating grub from the ground. I stopped counting around 70.  Seriously! I...
Try to be Good

Try to be Good

Are you ready for a scrub down?

Are you ready for a scrub down?

I am free!  I am free!  I am no longer a taxi mom. Mine and Tim’s third and final child recently turned sixteen. A mix of emotions washed over me when Cole proudly received his drivers license. On the last day of me taxing him to school, I mentioned to Cole, “You...
