Daily Walking with God
Finding the Right Path
This week was a first for our new dog, Marley. After being in a shelter for 3 ½ years, she had her first trip to the beach this week. Just like how it has been since she came into our lives, she slowly warmed up to the whole sand and wave thing. On the way...
Hang on!
We will have storms in life. But hang on…there is beauty through it all. When I started writing this entry I was admiring the movement of a rainstorm coming across the waters. The clouds were dark grey, you couldn’t see the boats in the pass or the horizon, and the...
"I Spy"
I have a little “I Spy” game for you to play. This morning while I was walking the beach, I found my first shark's tooth for the season. Then I found, oooops, I can’t say how many more because that would just ruin the “I Spy” game. Once I laid the shark’s teeth...
Healthier and Happier
I am so proud of my niece Ashley! I had the opportunity to see her this past weekend. Boy did she look fabulous! She started a healthier lifestyle plan a few months ago, and now it truly has become a lifestyle. This past weekend, Ashley mentioned how at first she...
Mommy Time
Me and my momma seeing "Mom's Night Out" While the mice are away the cat will play. Well, while the fam’s away, mom will play. True, this mom does get a day of play, but I sure keep thinking about my family! Earlier in the week my mom told me that I...
"Love, God" Part 2
God is always good at asking questions. The thing is He already knows the answer. He just wants us to verbalize it so that we are aware of it. Haven’t you done that with others? Just the other day I had gone upstairs, saw the answer to my question, yet still asked...
A Litle Diddy "From God"
So. The other day I had a moment of weakness. I was at the counter ready to checkout my items. I looked in this basket with a brightly colored sign stating the price of something. This something was my moment of weakness purchase. It was a bag of Dove bars. Not...

It's the Little Things
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name.” Pslam 103:1 This is the verse that came to my mind when I sat down to write my journal entry for today. I woke up at 2:22am. My thoughts went to praying for my father-in-law. I went back to...
A Bundle of Encouragement
The art of sending a letter or card to someone seems almost lost with the use of technology today. But this loss was definitely not forgotten this past weekend. The school where my son is graduating from, Plant City High School, has a wonderful group of PTSA parents...
Getting ready for the ride!
I’m trying to prepare myself for a week of a roller-coaster of emotions. This Tuesday is June 3rd. It’s a day that hasn’t left my mind in one year, and I’m sure it never will. The phone call at five in the morning was devastating to say the least. (See “Ode to...
Welcome to our family!
Back in January I wrote “It’s about dog-gone-time”. We just thought we were getting a new dog. After the vet made its visit we discovered that the dog had more medical issues than our family was ready to take on. When I looked back to read what I had...
