God grew mighty large in my eyes!!!

God grew mighty large in my eyes!!!
This was me as a child. I imagined myself on my little flying carpet gathering stories to write down later. But later never came. My family moved so often, that my treasured tales seemed to fly away with the wind. The teachers that encouraged my talent were left behind, and my friends were left behind, […]
Cocooned in Jesus’ arms of love anytime is the most beautiful place to be. In my author’s world, I find myself in a place of uncertainty right now, intensifying my desire to feel His presence like the sun upon my face. I love this little book of promises, and those of you who read my […]
Back to school today for students in our community–perhaps in yours, too. Every morning I share a Bible verse meme with my grandchildren to start their day. Today’s meme featured Proverbs 24:13-14. Honey. Wisdom. Bright Future. Enduring Hope. Good words for all of us every day, they reminded me of other Scriptures: The fear of […]
Looking past many items in my closet in 2020 and into 2021, I reached for the super-comfy leggings and tunics time and again. My obsession with clothes quite obvious. I knew that already. I love nice things and the put together look. With few places to go the joy of shopping evaporated quickly. Uncertainty of […]

Tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, ice storms, blizzards – all accompanied by waves of destruction of property. Buildings constructed to last are bent like toothpicks. Decades-old trees topple. […]
God expects much from His followers, because the world expects much from us. October 2002 my husband and I traveled to Vermont expecting to be greeted by a glorious display of God’s artwork in the vibrant color-drenched, God-painted autumn foliage for which the area is so famous. Instead we found leaves turned brown and falling […]
Look for graduation cards, and you see the owl motif often. After all, he’s a wise fellow, right? Nope! A quick search reveals many species of birds are wiser than the owl. “But, it turns out, though they’re excellent hunters, owls probably aren’t any smarter than a lot of other birds. In fact, they may […]
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The Essence of Humility (via Celebrate Lit) toured 20 blogs over the last two weeks! Each of the bloggers spent their time reading and reviewing the book. How humbling. And they left so many great comments. A few are shared below. If I included all the kudos, the post […]
