My dad was an amazing father. He loved the mountains of his birthplace in Massachusetts, he loved tennis and he loved his family. My husband best describes him as a perfect gentleman. Even before he retired from the workforce, he was diagnosed with Parkinsons. The progression was slow, but we noticed the slight tremor in… Continue reading Pour

Seminar
What? I bet we have you thinking about what this message will be. “Jesus didn’t hold any business seminars”, you say? Or did He? My own definition of a seminar is a group of individuals gathered together to listen to an inspirational speaker deliver valuable information in an uplifting way. The many speakers I encountered… Continue reading Seminar
Pearl
As a young teenager in love, I remember getting my first set of pearls as a gift. I felt so special, like a grownup, wearing them for the first time. Maybe you’ve even taken advantage of some of the opportunities to obtain your very own genuine pearl. It could have been from a vendor at… Continue reading Pearl
Share
Can you hear your mother’s voice saying, “Dear, remember you need to share your toys with….”, and you can fill in the blank with that best friend’s, sister’s or brother’s name. When we were younger, we didn’t understand how important it was in our development as human beings. As we have matured (hopefully), what we… Continue reading Share

Doesn’t that word bring back your days in school?

Umbrella
The sun was shining outside, so I had no idea why this word and subsequent thoughts came to me. However, I am always up for a challenge, and trust Jesus had His reasons. You may feel the same when it comes to pulling out your own umbrella. It’s something I really try and avoid. I… Continue reading Umbrella
Ripple
https://youtu.be/sp8TPatkBFQ?list=RDsp8TPatkBFQ Floating in the waters of a swimming pool or the calming waters of the ocean or a lazy river, especially during this heated time of year, can be relaxing and very meditative. As I was doing just that in our backyard pool, I could feel the stillness of the cool water, just barely noticing… Continue reading Ripple
Reflect
“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.” Matthew 7:24 When I was… Continue reading Reflect
Church
I was asked an interesting question recently by a friend. “Do you really think going to church vs. just being a believer really makes a difference?” I knew my answer right away, but I needed to allow that question to sink in for a moment. In mere seconds, so many thoughts ran through my head,… Continue reading Church
