  • On day two of lent, thinking about Jesus and the woman with the issue of blood.

    Today’s Lenten verse is Colossians 1:15 – The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. I love this verse, as it reminds us that Jesus displays the love of the Father in His being and in His works. With that in mind, today I want to talk about a… Read more

  • ashes to ashes, dust to dust – and celebrating too. . .

    It is bitterly cold here in the Deep South – though I live about 40 minutes away from the icing problems in my state – and I am blessed that we have had no weather related power problems or anything. This spoonie body goes crazy with cold like this and I am profoundly grateful to… Read more

  • Ravi. This is just despicable.

    I’ve paused today’s Valentine’s love post – I’ll finish it later though – because my heart is so heavy with the news about Ravi Zacharias that has just rocked the Christian community – and honestly triggered me in a very visceral way. If you aren’t familiar with Ravi – or, if you’ve only read this… Read more

  • oh my word, my book is here (Almost).

    After so many years of wanting to see this day, my book is available for pre-order on Amazon. I am so so grateful and pray that it is of service. Thank you, Lord. Be well, everybody. Take care of yourselves and each other. Grace and Blessings. Read more

  • lent and love

    Yesterday, I posted a meme on my Facebook page reminding all my Liturgical calendar Christian friends that Lent begins in a week because, wow, it feels like it arrived quickly this year. While it may not seem like talking about Lent is in keeping with this week’s theme of love posts, it really is. Though… Read more

  • abounding in love.

    This early Monday morning is the beginning of Valentine’s week. Seeing the overflowing aisles of candy, balloons, and bears, when Sara and I stopped to pick up a few needed items yesterday evening, got me thinking that, here on the blog, I would like to focus on love this week as well. Not the red,… Read more

  • here i raise my ebenezer.

    Tuesday was World Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Day. It falls on February 2, Groundhog Day, every year – and it has been on my radar for 8 years now since my RA diagnosis. I’m running a little behind posting about it this year – as things have been super busy for some amazing reasons I’ll share… Read more

  • feeling 42, getting iv’s, and chasing myself

    It’s a wild rumpus – mostly in the best way – here  as I’m wrapping up writing my book and keeping up with school work. I have several posts I plan to write next week – once I have my book draft over to my fabulous friend and editor, Cheryl – but this week is… Read more

  • coming back alive.

    It’s so busy here this week – wonderful things – just lots and lots of them to get done. I’m trying to finish the rough draft of my book with a full school week as well – so I have found a NEW way to chase myself. 😉 I have zero complaints and nothing but… Read more

  • Buckle up, buttercup. . .

    Well, y’all, it’s 3:06 AM on Sunday and I’ve just submitted the first pass of assignments for my classes at State. I’ll be up for awhile doing some writing for my book and I’m in a pile of a million notes and my to-do list is 12.2 miles long and my body is, well, my… Read more
