Blue, gold, Orange, and Green

As a young girl, I was highly sensitive and very emotional. I had sympathy and compassion for people, but even more so for animals. My imagination would let me be a vet, a lion tamer, the Bionic Woman, Kelly of Charlie's Angels, a wild child of the woods, basically anything I wanted. Most of the …

The Death of Celebrities

Many of them I have no clue who they are, but others hit me hard, and still others just sadden me. Olivia Newton John's death deeply saddened me. I don't know why the death of people I have never met and do not know bothers me so. I guess when we watch someone on tv …

OLD FASHIONED

I started reading my posts from the beginning, looking for the one I mentioned a trip I had taken just through a Facebook group. Thankfully, it was my very first post. I had also said I might write about that trip. It was six years ago this past February but does not seem that long …

God’s Love is Amazing

But You Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in faithful love and truth. Turn and be gracious to me.  And that is what God has done for me this day. He could have gotten angry and turned away because I have not been doing right by Him, but instead, …

God is Good….

and undeterred by the fact that I am a hot mess. The time since my posted "pity-party" has been better. The sun has been shining and the weather cool and breezy, which means I've been riding with my windows down and music up everywhere I go. For some reason I always take cool, breezy, sunny days …

New

Hi all, it is day 1 of 2017. I do not set New Year's resolutions, never really have. I see no point. What usually happens in my life is, close the end of each year I start evaluating how the year has been and that is when I start to make some adjustments. That way …

The Great Rescue!

Picture this: You are a captive, you were born into this captivity, and all the stories you hear of your ancestors are of their captivity. It's been hundreds of years worth of being slaves to the Egyptians. That is your world. You may not like it, but it is all you know. You have made …

God on the backroad

Until I bought this lovely bicycle, I had forgotten how fun it was to ride one. I like riding it with my son around the back roads because it makes for good talking time or on the long sidewalks around town, with him leading the way, so I don't feel so vulnerable. There are times, though, that I do enjoy …

Timeout from reality

My heart is heavy tonight. There have been multiple shootings this weekend in Florida and I just do not know what to write. A friend wrote today, "The whole world needs a timeout" and I agree. It is not just the shootings in Florida this weekend, it's everywhere. The wars over seas, the debacle we …

Dancing with God

"He doesn't ask me to write the notes to the music or choreograph the steps to the dance. He asks me just to take His hand and follow Him. To move when He moves. To speed up when He speeds up. To slow down when He slows down. And to stop when He stops." Ken …
