Today it is snowing again. The snow is once more covering the flowers that I saw peeking out of the ground only yesterday. It was exciting to see these beautiful flowers that proclaim winter is almost over. Now I’m hoping this snow will not harm them and as soon as the temperature climbs above freezing […]
When my husband and I married years ago he told me he used to paint. However, he only had one painting to show me. It was one he had given to his oldest daughter. I found it interesting because if you looked at one way it appears the people were walking forward side by side; […]

My granddaughter turned eight years old this month. In her eight years she has kept me laughing with her wisdom. One of the funniest memories is when she was four years old and was trying to get her Papa to make a decision about whether he would take her to one of her favorite places […]

Dr. Tanya, at Salted Caramel, asked four questions about blogging. She calls the questions “retrospective introspection.” Reading your own work, she says, is sometimes called a form of narcissism but she thinks a better description might be self-evaluation or self-assessment. With that in mind, I have responded to her questions. Here are her four questions: […]

My daughter recently spent several weeks in Sierra Leone tutoring the child of a missionary family that was returning to the states for a year and wanted to make sure their daughter was prepared for school in the USA. My six-year-old granddaughter accompanied her mother on this trip. It was a great opportunity for my […]
Christmas always brings memories of the past as I reflect on all the years that have passed. I remember: The little wooden ornaments I painted for my little girls that they now hang on their trees. The Christmas plate three of my grandchildren painted for me. The live Christmas tree my husband and I purchased […]
After a record-setting week of cold temps – it is great to be above freezing once again – even into the 40’s. Last Sunday I came home from church and did not go out again until this past Saturday. My husband took me to Applebee’s for lunch. I have been to Applebees many times to […]
My youngest granddaughter spent Saturday night with us while Mom and Dad celebrated their anniversary. She always seems to have a hard time going to sleep. I’m not sure if her brain will just not shut down so she can sleep or if she keeps her brain going to avoid sleep. After reading books and […]

And just like that – Santa is gone for another year. But Jesus remains all year long. His gifts are year-round. Santa comes but once a year; Jesus is an ever-present help; Santa fills your stocking with goodies; Jesus supplies all your needs. Santa comes down your chimney uninvited; Jesus stands at your door and […]
A parable Jesus told about the importance of prayer has often made me wonder. He tells of a widow who went to the local judge to ask him to intervene in her behalf. Apparently there was someone who was treating her unfairly and she wanted help in resolving this dispute. According to the Mosaic Law […]
