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: […]

Every six months I get a routine checkup from my doctor. She checks my A1C, my cholesterol, vitamin D levels, my blood pressure. She listens to my heart and takes a look at my ears and my throat. We discuss any problems I might have. I keep these appointments faithfully not because I am sick […]
Last year I shared how my youngest granddaughter uses her imagination and pulls me into her “make-believe” world as she plays with the toy animals my husband gave her a few years ago.

Listening to music this morning, this song brought tears – tears of joy – to my eyes. It has been 66 years since I started this race with Jesus Christ. There have been mountain tops of great joy, great excitement (to mention only a few – marriage, birth of children and grandchildren) and valleys of […]

Before this move there was never a really good place for him to keep all his painting paraphernalia. A place where he could also display […]
It’s almost Mother’s Day – and my memories of Mom keep coming back so strong. She was such a feisty lady. In her 60’s she drove a bright yellow car and slowed down only slightly for stop signs. She loved to show my daughters how to do the Charleston. (Does the younger generation today have […]
It’s Friday and time to take a look at another gospel song. As I thought back over the many gospel songs I grew up singing, I noticed how many had the same name listed as the author….Fanny Crosby. Songs I have loved: Blessed Assurance To God Be the Glory Rescue the Perishing Jesus Keep Me […]
Those of you who follow my blog know that my husband and I are Scrabble addicts. We are very competitive and our final scores are often very close. Recently I beat my husband by just 15 points. He decided he wanted to add the scores again to make sure no mistake had been made. While […]
Do you ever read something in the Bible and think “what in the world does that mean”? Do you ever read something in the Bible and think “that doesn’t sound right?” Do you ever read something in the Bible and wonder “how does that fit in today’s society?” Well – I have done all of […]
