After my kitty’s good morning meows, a beautiful sunrise awaited as my first New Year greeting of 2020. We found the bed well before midnight even in the earlier time zone from ours. Not partying and not sleeping-in produced its reward. The water-colored sky of blues, golds, pinks, and oranges spoke clearly of God’s glory […]

Chicago Fun
Hitting the road in September and returning in October did nothing to switch our blazing temps to Autumn ones. But we’re home again. A great trip, Regardless of the weather, it’s always good to be back home. (NOTE: Since beginning the blogpost a few days ago, our temps have finally dropped into a more normal […]
Coloring a Spectrum of God’s Love
Let’s celebrate National Coloring Day! Friends at Cinnamah-Brosia’s Coffee Cottage love coffee and coloring pages. Go ahead. Grab your colors and coloring book, and let your creativity shine! The word color always brings to my mind a favorite Bible verse from The Message version: Matthew 5:14-16 Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be […]
Like a Sunflower, Keep Your Eyes on The Son
Today we caught the last sunflowers of the season. What a joyful discovery! Especially, since we’ve looked for them before – never found them, and we’ve driven by them dozens of times. What attracts us to their glorious blooms, and fills us with joy viewing them? Perhaps their bright yellow and orange hues. Perhaps their […]
Polka Dots, New Neighbors, and a Thankful Heart
Jesus’ directive is clear: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” ~Mark 12:31 (NLT) And truth be told, we can add “love your neighbor as Jesus’ loves your neighbor.” Jesus loves all people without consideration of any of the marks we often put on another’s worthiness. My family moved frequently. Many ‘new neighbors’ doled out their judgment […]
Spiked Wheels, Darkness, and Our Heavenly Home
The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. ~Revelation 13:1 While we ran errands yesterday, my husband called my attention to the ominous black […]
July 20, 1969 – What Do You Remember?
Man walked on the moon! An amazing moment in a time riddled with controversy and contradictions. (And based on the photo here, an airmail stamp was just 10 cents. Do you remember airmail?) My friends and I graduated from high school a few weeks earlier and faced a world of unrest and anti-establishment rhetoric and […]
Seraphim Worshipping Shook the Foundation – Earthquakes Could Not Topple It
NOTE: 2.25.23. I first wrote this post many years ago. In light of the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, it seems very appropriate to share it again. 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. […]
Victorian Beauty – Treasures and Pleasures from Novel-Research
When you’re writing a Victorian Era novel, what could be better than a Victorian mansion featuring Victorian wedding gowns? My friend and I caught the last day of the “Wedding Belles on Millionaires Row Exhibition” at the Woodruff-Fontaine House in Memphis’ Victorian Village. From the oddly arranged 2-sided courting chair and courting candle to all […]
Reflection and Reflexion – Speaking Up for Life and for the Unborn
I’m passionately Pro-Life! My profession is reflexology. It’s another of my passions, and it’s a calling. Within the art and science of reflexology, reflexologists see the whole body as a mirror-image mapped on the foot. The reflexology link above takes you to my website where you can learn more about that. I earned an additional […]
