My son Todd and I arrived last night at my parent’s house around 10 p.m.
It’s now 2:20 a.m., I am up getting ready for our journey to Oklahoma where we’ll have Grandpa’s funeral in the tiny town he lived in most all of his life.
My grandpa was such a constant in my life.
Just looking at pictures of him makes me smile and feel thankful for a grandpa who loved me unconditionally.
Even though Grandpa hasn’t been able to visit in the past few years like he once did, his sweet little smile was enough for me to know that “all was well” in his soul.
I will be away from my computer until next Wednesday, so I had to send a quick “good bye” and “I love you” to all of you and a “thank you” for every prayer.
Thankful for each of you and asking you to especially remember the people of Haiti in your daily prayers.
Praying the Lord’s love will fill each of your day’s with grace and beauty,


In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
