I was sitting here waiting for the stain to dry on the project my husband and I were working on. Boom! Then suddenly Advent was on my mind, realizing it would be here before I knew it. What does this special time of the year mean? I looked up the definition which inspired me right… Continue reading Arrival

Calling
The word calling brings back an instant memory for me. As a child I loved to play outside. I am probably dating myself, but I loved playing hopscotch, roller skating, and other silly games with my friends. Of course, my mom would always call me to come inside for dinner. Many times, I knew she… Continue reading Calling
Baseball
Well, that word came out of left field. (Sorry - I couldn't resist that one.) It is that time of the year when the best teams are striving for that coveted title of world series champion. To achieve that, it's necessary that every single player from each team uses their talents, whether their skill is… Continue reading Baseball
Oceans
Ocean - Just hearing that word whispered to me can send my soul into a start of calmness. For me the rise and fall of these vast waters and the sounds of the crashing waves have been known to lull me to sleep. Can you recall your first encounter with the ocean waves dancing over… Continue reading Oceans
Marathon
First, let’s get this straight with regards to whether I’ve ever run a marathon. These legs of mine don’t like to run, unless someone is chasing me, or my eye spots an ice cream establishment. However, I greatly admire and respect those that have met this challenge. If you and I put our heads together,… Continue reading Marathon

One – it only takes one person to make a difference, and He reminded me of that again. With Jesus, was it important to Him to count the numbers of the followers He… Continue reading One
Carry
In the almost 49 years of marriage (officially September) my husband and I have called four different residences our home. With each move, we saw it as the beginning of a new and exciting chapter for us, while still holding onto the many fond memories of each that we still reminisce about today. In addition… Continue reading Carry
Fresh
During these warmer summer months, the cooling word of fresh brings so many images to my mind. I can picture the clothesline in our back yard that held freshly washed sheets and that wonderful fresh fragrance that now only comes in the form of dryer sheets or fabric softener. I think of summertime and the… Continue reading Fresh
Chosen
The word “chosen” takes me immediately back to my school days where I can visualize my classmates and myself all lined up and fearfully waiting to hear our names called to be chosen for the team. I remember how disappointed I was when I didn't make the cut to be on the cheerleading team. Maybe… Continue reading Chosen
Freedom
I remember taking a school field trip with my fellow classmates to the city known for freedom – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. What impressed me the most was seeing the Liberty Bell with its infamous crack and reading the story behind it. When we were younger, did we really understand what freedom meant and how blessed we… Continue reading Freedom
