One of the best ways to build a foundation of scripture is in song. Think about it. We can recall every word of a song we loved from high school...

One In the Hand
I am sometimes in awe of what God hears of all my asking and ramblings. I was saying one day it sure would be nice to hold an oriole. They have such a pretty song and are so beautiful. I had just gotten in the house with Trey and Tucker. Trey was busy motoring around … Continue reading One In the Hand
Careful Who You “Keep Company With”
One of the funniest sayings my mom would say was " So and So keeps company with...". I found it interesting when she would say that. Then as I got older I figured out that she was saying XYZ is friends with ABC- they have an active friendship. More than often, my mom would remind … Continue reading Careful Who You “Keep Company With”
Blossoms
Google photos sent me a notification yesterday. It wanted to show me what happened on this day or this week last year. It was interesting to see all that has happened over the last 8 years. Of interest, was a lilac tree that I had taken a picture of last year. It was in beautiful … Continue reading Blossoms
The Road to Forgotten
It sounds like a sad story. In a way it is. It's about a journey of mistakes and forgiveness. An adventure of fun and learning. We each have our own road that takes us home and finally, when we get to heaven it will all be forgotten. I am thinking about my dad and the … Continue reading The Road to Forgotten
Kitchen Sanctuary
I often find that my kitchen easily transforms into a sanctuary. It's a place of worship, confessions, and thanksgiving. I feed my family and friends, but I also feed their souls. Soapy hands reach to cleanse dirty dishes, scrub pots and wipe a little face. Pausing for a moment but sometimes minutes. Slowing to rhythms … Continue reading Kitchen Sanctuary
Safe in His Arms Living by Faith
Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe. Life has sure been throwing me some curves lately. There's been illness, job loss, and interruption of ministry and just life in general. But God has been right there with us. (I love that … Continue reading Safe in His Arms Living by Faith
Rejoice Always?
I am not excited about REJOICE Always. I realize that might grate on a few people, but I am just being honest about where I am at. Now because I feel this way doesn't make me right, because I know God is asking me to rejoice even when circumstances are not how I would have … Continue reading Rejoice Always?
Grackles!
There they all are again! UG! I do not like grackles. They chase away all the nice birds, all the pretty birds. I stomped around my kitchen fretting about the attendees at my bird feeder. God quietly reminded me that grackles need to be fed also. Not all the birds he created are "pretty" as … Continue reading Grackles!
Garden of Good and Evil
With the addition of Trey in our home, we have had to readjust from empty nesters to nesters. He is now mobile in his walker and makes the rounds on the Babytona circuit- from the kitchen, into the hallway, up the hallway around into the foyer, through the foyer into the dinning room, and from … Continue reading Garden of Good and Evil
