Broken Pieces
Recently I was at my mom’s new home in Georgia helping her unpack her belongings and making her cardboard-box-filled-house feel more like a comfy home. They had been unpacking for the past couple of weeks and discovered many items were broken during the move....
Come visit
Hi! I’ve missed communicating with you via this site. Even though my public journaling may have been quiet, you can bet God is still working on and in me daily, speaking to me through everyday experiences. I’ll be back, but until then...if you are on Facebook, would...
God doesn’t do physical distancing…
I went to rest for thirty minutes. When my head hit the pillow the song, “He's got the whole world in His hands” rang through my mind. I haven’t sung that song in many many years. I had no idea why it came to my mind...but God did. When I sang the words in my mind,...
Is this part of the cure?
This morning I was briefly watching the local news. On Tampa Bay’s Fox 13, Dr. Jo is their Health Reporter. What Dr. Jo was informing us about, regarding a new study being done with COVIS-19 patients and those with respiratory issues, was interesting. She told of...

Oh How I Love Jesus!
“Ohh How I Love Jesus…” These words are often, if not daily, sung or hummed by me. My family knows that this is my go-to-song when I get annoyed or upset with one of them, but it is also for when I’m busy working or as happy as a pig in mud. As I sit here today, the...
Live Expectantly…Cease this opportunity.
During my scripture reading this morning, I could only get through 14 verses before I just had to type and share with you. Please read and be ready to live expectantly and seize the opportunity in life we have right now. Luke 12:35-59 So, when I ready verses 35-40...
Here’s your sign…JESUS
JESUS. Sometimes that’s all you can say. No, not taking His name in vain, but a raw and real “all I need is Jesus” breath. There’s a little country church on a corner that I pass by when I’m heading into town. Knights Baptist Church. For the longest time they had a...
An Encouraging Word: Who to pray for…
During this time of social distancing (that I like the term “physical distancing” I heard from Dr. Tony Evans) I hope you are enjoying the great outdoors and your friends and family, AND...you have an opportunity. I hope that when you read Luke 1:9-10 you will see an...
Encouragement: During a season of dryness
