Walking with God

The photos of the airbnb are of a crisp and adorable South Carolina coastal cottage. This brand new cottage had all the smells of newness. A bag of cookies, chocolates, and mints welcomed us, as they were nestled under the cutest little christmas tree on the quaint...

With my whole heart, with my whole life, and with my innermost being, I bow in wonder and love before you, the holy God! Yahweh, you are my soul’s celebration. How could I ever forget the miracles of kindness you’ve done for me? You kissed my heart with forgiveness,...

Oh how I can so vividly remember the anticipation of Christmas morning. Waking up all hours of the night to try to get a peek of Santa was one of my specialties. One night, my feet would quietly tiptoe out of my bedroom, down the hall, and through the kitchen and...

The calm after the storm. This past weekend was our Parker/Bassett family Christmas. This storm seems to blow in and then leave too quickly. You may say, “that’s not a storm.” A couple definitions of a storm is a sudden commotion or a tumultuous outburst. This storm...

Be engaged. Holly and I had been exploring the beauty of Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida. We stood about 324 feet above sea level.  It is one of the highest points of land measured in Florida. The scenery is very tranquil. Overlooking the land in our view,...

I wasn’t going to go on the very first day, but after fasting for your morning blood work, and your nurse wants a Chick-fil-A chicken biscuit at Plant City’s new location…let’s just say it was worth it! The night before the grand opening my precious friend, Christine,...

As I patiently wait for the publishing process to be completed on my first children's book, TheRight Road, I know that He is in the waiting. The book has been edited, illustrated, and paid for. So now what? Wait. My author liaison said “the vetting process is the most...

The more time you spend with someone, the closer your relationship becomes. This holds true with our earthly relationships and with our kinship with Christ. Lately, my daughter Holly and I have started little Monday adventures. These adventures may take a tank full or...

You cannot not deny…this photo is PRECIOUS!  I snagged this picture while keeping my great nephews, and I just can’t get enough of the cuteness of that precious child sitting on the edge of the pool in his nakedness. Well, Wayne isn’t the only precious thing…YOU ARE....
