Does God have a scoreboard for each of us in Heaven? Somehow, it’s what I worry about and picture at times. Maybe you envision the lighted scoreboard, similar to the ones used at a baseball game, that keeps track of which team is winning. It also can keep track of how many balls and strikes… Continue reading Win

Valentine
Yes, it’s that time of year again. It’s a day of so many expectations of whether someone special will surprise them with that bouquet of flowers, a special dinner at a cozy restaurant or maybe just an acknowledgement with a heartfelt card and speaking those three special words, “I love you.” My parents were married… Continue reading Valentine
Hold
As I begin my prayer time on this partly sunny day, there was something simple but eye-opening, when I read the Psalm verse, “you hold me by my right hand.” So much so, that I stopped reading and felt the need to just sit quietly envisioning Jesus holding my hand. It is amazing to me… Continue reading Hold
Grand
I question the truth in the quote, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon, I couldn’t resist taking pictures from every angle, attempting to capture the different shades and angles of the light streaming through the trees, against the formed rock structures, not to mention the textures… Continue reading Grand
Favored
The word favored came to me during a conversation I had with a close friend. She spoke that specific word as she shared her story, and I quickly scribbled it on a piece of paper beside me, because I felt it was of significant importance. How much of a priority is it in our life… Continue reading Favored
Fly
The first time I flew on a commercial airplane was our honeymoon. Frankly, I didn’t know what to expect. Luckily my new groom knew the ropes a lot better, and I just followed his lead. I was a little unnerved when there was, what I considered, turbulence while flying. Again, my husband didn’t seem concerned… Continue reading Fly
Wise
What is the first image that comes to mind when you hear that word? It’s an easy answer for me – the three wise men following the star. For many, once Christmas Day is over, that is the end of the season. Trees and decorations get taken down, music on the radio returns to “normal”… Continue reading Wise
Yes
I know this may sound crazy, but I still love it when my husband, out of the blue, announces, “I’ve got a good idea.” I guarantee you, my eyes will light up, excited to hear what his idea is, even after 50+ years from when we first met. It may be surprising me with a… Continue reading Yes
Born
I think it’s pretty safe to say that none of us remember what it was like when we were born. What a magical moment it was when you came into this world, took your first breath and used those lungs to let the world know you had arrived. We wouldn’t remember being wrapped in a… Continue reading Born
Still
When I heard one of my favorite Christmas songs playing yesterday, I had the thought of using this word in the message to you beginning this third week of Advent. However, when I consulted my spreadsheet of words used, (can you believe that?) I found I used that word last year around this time, mainly… Continue reading Still
