My camping days are well over! The idea now of putting up a tent and sleeping on a ground that has definitely gotten harder over the years, is not my idea of a vacation anymore. However, I will add that my husband and I can recall wonderful stories about all our camping adventures. One such… Continue reading Fresh

Why follow From God's Lips?
In our busy world, our soul desires quiet time with God. His desire is that we spend time with him, focusing only our building our relationship with him. He wants to hear our words speaking to Him - our needs, concerns and definitely remembering to give Him thanks for everything - both in joy and sorrow. God is calling you to spend time with him through the positive words He has placed in my heart. I hope you will, along with me, share and grow in His love.

I would like to give credit for progress on my spiritual journey to a group of special women in Maryland. Our local church started a program that set up small, more intimate prayer group meetings in individual homes. I first took the leap to join one that was in close proximity to my home. As… Continue reading Umbilical
Desire
We all have desires, right? Other words we use to describe desire are our hopes, dreams, longings, needs, and even fancy. When we bring those desires before God, what does He hear? When my desires are so great that it consumes me, what is He thinking about my requests? We’re thinking “If only you will… Continue reading Desire

The first visual I picture in my mind is fireworks. I love fireworks! Even as a child I can recall going to the 4th of July parade in our small town, watching the stream of local marching bands, fire trucks and other entertainment stroll down Main Street. Then, once the sun went down, we were… Continue reading Amazing
Constant
What is ever-constant in our lives? What never changes? What love lasts forever? My mind is filled with these questions, trying to focus on what He wants to say. I smile, as I remember that our 48th wedding anniversary is this week. Constant – not always perfect, but perfect for us. We were high school… Continue reading Constant
Water
Water is necessary for our survival. It hydrates us, it cleanses us, and thankfully refreshes us on those hot summer days. I am happiest when I’m by the water; and living in Florida, it was definitely a good choice with the ocean, intra-coastal waterway, rivers, and lakes all within a short drive. Growing up, I… Continue reading Water

My mind rushes back to when my husband and I embarked on the biggest challenge of our lives, running a small business. It was exciting at the beginning, but through many trials and roadblocks, (entwined I admit with many blessings too) there was a time when we almost gave up. But my mother-in-law gave us… Continue reading Easy
Memories
During our recent move(s) that finally brought us to the sunshine state of Florida, packing everything up from our original home of over 30 years, was overwhelming. I couldn’t believe how many boxes it took, with quite a few of those containing photo albums and scrapbooks that I had put together over the years. I… Continue reading Memories
Care
A close good friend once told me once that accepting care from others allows them the opportunity to give of themselves and grow in their faith also. How well do you care for others? How good are you at allowing others to reach out to you in a time of need? I am learning constantly… Continue reading Care
