The Road Less Travelled….

Our GPS led us to a crossroads.  Not sure which way to go, we chose to follow the car in front of us with an Alabama  license plate.  They surely were headed to the same retreat as us! Why would an Alabama car be on this long windy road in Tennessee unless they were...

The Grinch will never win….

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. I Thessalonians 5:18   As Tim and I joined hands with eleven other couples around a gigantic dining table so that we could pray before our meal Saturday evening, I was so surprised...

Go Raiders!!

  About two weeks after Nick died, Olivia had a dream.  I think I shared about it at the time, but it just comes back to me so often when I watch Olivia play basketball!!  The dream gave her such a feeling of peace about Nick’s death.  She dreamt that Nick was...
