Discussions of “Why Choose Life” often become quite heated. God’s Word and today’s advanced science* points us to life beginning at conception. Over the thousands of years (yes thousands) women have had abortions, a recognition existed, that they treated the absence of something — their time of the month, rather than eliminating a baby.

Amazing Christmas Rainbow Fills the Sky
December 23, 2019. Amazing rainbow. Today the granddaughters and I will prepare a birthday cake for Baby Jesus — one of our annual traditions. Yes, I’ve backed up from the previous post. The day began with a series of mishaps. Here’s one: I set the oven, prepared the pan, mixed the cake, and poured it […]
Word for the Year: Laughter and Completion
When “completion” and “laughter” kept knocking and begging to be my word for the year, I hadn’t even considered choosing one. Completion conjured up many thoughts — not all were positive. I needed to know the whispers were from God. So, what does the Bible have to say about these two words — especially when […]
New Year 2020, and Our Lord is The King of It
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.

Death, Dying, Cancer, & Cinderella’s Castle

Friendship and family, of course, did not end all those years ago. Friday Jesus called David home. This evening in […]

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 […]
