As I was driving the other morning, I noticed a little cloud cluster floating between me and the sun. The white fluffy clouds were just big enough to block the rays that would otherwise shine down on me. But the edges of the clouds were a beautiful golden glow because the sun simply could not…

It finally happened… I threw in the towel and declared defeat! Due to an overbooked schedule, I had been neglecting the housework and it was starting to show. I had been saying yes to other things and allowing them to take precedence over what I should have been doing. It’s so much easier to agree…

While having lunch with a new friend the other day, she was sharing a small part of her life’s story with me.  As she transitioned from one life event to another, she mentioned that it had edited her. Edited her? I had never heard that before and stopped her to see what she meant. She explained…

I’m one of those pet owners that feed my dog table scraps. I’m very particular about what I give her and know which foods to avoid (please don’t send me nasty emails). It’s always just a few pieces of chicken or steak but by Zoe’s reaction you would think I was serving up filet mignon…

This morning the craziest sounds interrupted my quiet time with God. My little Yorkie, Zoe, was sleeping in her blankets on the couch and her tummy was grumbling – loudly. I had already filled her bowl with a fresh mixture of food, but she’d have no part of it. She didn’t want to leave the…

The tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, Joseph’s sons, felt that they should have more land than they had received to accommodate all of the people in their tribes. So Joshua agreed to extend their territory up into the mountain region….

Saturday afternoon found me sitting in the middle of my living room floor with my daughter, Paige, assembling bar stools. She did a great job reading through the instruction manual and then explaining how to do each step. We had several stools to assemble so having one source of instruction was extremely helpful! Step by…

I’ve recently noticed how much superstition there is in sports. From the routine a pitcher will go through before throwing his pitch, to the way a football player holds the ball before passing it to the quarterback… athletes stick with the habits that produced the desired results and quickly dismiss the ones that don’t. In…

Have you ever looked at yourself in a lighted, magnified mirror? There is no escaping the proof of every flaw, every blemish, every imperfection. As Truvy Jones in Steel Magnolias eloquently stated, “Time marches on and sooner or later you realize it is marchin’ across your face.” The harsh light and magnification make it impossible…
