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: […]
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 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 […]
God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God. Those words are from Jesus as He spoke to the crowds about what it meant to be a part of the kingdom of God. Where are the peace makers? We are so divided as a nation today. So many […]

Reading with my husband in the book of James, I thought how much our country needs to heed the words found there. James admonishes us to: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires Wow! Sadly it appears we are slow […]
