Because I know prayer changes things, we must pray and keep on praying. Here are some posts that will build your faith and inspire you to persist until you breakthrough to victory.
Wayne and I love to travel. We have been to some glorious places. We accomplished our goal to see all 50 states in 2011. Mono Lake, California was my favorite place, but I also loved the Sequoia’s and Yosemite. Then there was the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial in Hawaii, Mt. McKinley in Alaska, the London Bridge in […]
My grandkids are so creative! It was a conversation as well as a devotion. Brayden played with his Legos and Ashlyn drew pictures while I talked. Then they all dramatized the event and retold the story with the Legos. Then we reinforced the devotion with garden stepping stones. Wayne had made square frames and mixed […]
Don’t be afraid- you CAN do it! I am so excited to introduce you to my dear friend, Joy Hemler. She was a children’s pastor just outside of Washington DC for many years, but now she is in Belgium. I asked her […]
It was July 9, 1776. It was five days after an acceptable revision of Thomas Jefferson’s radical, life altering Declaration of Independence had been accepted by 12 of the 13 colonies. Copies were distributed to assemblies, conventions and commanders of Continental troops. The New York Convention approved the action of the Continental Congress on this […]
I’m not an animal lover, but please don’t stop reading this blog if you are one. I have had my share of pets. We had the usual family dog as the children were growing up, that the kids promised to feed, but always forgot- so I had to care for it. We even had a […]
It is old news, but if you saw it you will never forget it? Did you like Nik Wallenda walk? I couldn’t watch it until the event was completely finished–too nerve racking for me. While 1400 feet isn’t a record-breaking distance across, I was scared for him. Because the 1400 feet was stretched across a gorge […]
And when you don’t have air conditioning it gives new meaning to hot. We didn’t have air conditioning, but we had a huge and I mean huge, loud, and I mean really loud, window fan. Even with our huge, loud fan, it was cooler on the porch than it was inside the house. The tall […]
Adorable only begins to describe the soft, fluffy little ducks I passed on my bike route. Eleven chocolate colored little ducklings, along with a busy mom made up the newest little family at the pond in our neighborhood. That’s a huge brood. I don’t know if they were all hers or if she was baby […]
Stories are an important part of who I am. I treasure them like some women treasure expensive jewelry. They have enriched my life. One of those stories is from Tommy Barnett. If you’ve heard me speak you know he is one of my heroes. The story took place long ago when people purchased almost […]
Where do I begin? How can I use words to describe the scope of what I experienced in Guyana? I’ve wrestled with it for days. Waiting until I had a beginning point—a place to dive into all that I experienced. I still don’t have that point. I want to share the stories of committed, faith-filled […]
I finally have an Internet Connection! I have to make this quick everyone is waiting. No time for pictures. Just a quick hello. I wrote the blog early Pentecost Morning. This is the first time I have been able to post. Thank you for your prayers. We have felt them! God has done awesome things. Tell […]
Relationship- The Main Thing The rain had washed the pollen out of the air leaving the sweet fragrance of spring in its place. The azaleas were glorious pink balls of blooms as we drove onto the property! The naked landscape of winter was finally dressed in the splendor of spring and dark forest emerald […]
