Typical Tuesday

As I sat here this morning having my quiet time, I decided to venture into the book of Colossians for a few weeks. Reading A New Earth (Oprah’s hot item) has really made me realize how easily humans can buy into philosophies and teachings that do not match up...
Thumbs up!

Thumbs up!

Thumbs up!This picture was sent to me all the way from Hungary where my dear friend Donnette’s daughter is doing a one-year internship with her husband David. This picture is actually Deborah and her brother-in-law, Aaron. They are showing their love, support,...

Spring Forward!

This is the first time in my life, and I’m not a “spring chicken,” that I can honestly say that I have been awake for the literal “springing forward” of time! I usually move my clocks up an hour early in the evening, accept the fact that...

He was the "s" in Ashland…..

That’s how my son described a boy at a basketball game to my husband over the phone. We had gone to regionals and one very spirited group of boys had decided not to wear shirts but instead to paint huge letters on their stomachs and stand in a row spelling the...

Waiting…..

Who likes to wait? Red lights seem to last too long. Doctors are often off-schedule. Grocery lines can take forever. Even fast food often feels like slow food as I sit in slow drive-thru lines. I have to be honest and say that sometimes just waiting for a microwave to...

A New Creation in Christ!!!!

This morning as I worked the yard sale for our mission team from Grayson (we were raising money to help them travel to Mexico in a couple of weeks), I was struck by the reality that no matter how much something is worth when it is new you will more than likely not get...

My Thoughts on Cleaning

I’m taking a break from my mini-reviews on the book A New Earth. My head spins every time I read it…..So tonight I decided to share a little bit about something much more near and dear to my heart…..HOUSEWORK!! Seriously, two of my sons are heading...

Jesus – More than a great teacher!

As I continue to read A New Earth, a book being promoted daily by Oprah as a life-changing experience, I am amazed at how the author loves to quote Jesus periodically right along with Buddha and other ancient philosophers. He seems to treat Jesus as if he were a man...

A New Earth?

Okay, maybe I’m a sucker. I went to a bookstore and bought the book Oprah is pushing like a madwoman everyday on her show. The reason I broke down and made the purchase had to do more with wanting to know what in the world was in this book that made Oprah so...

What is it about the beach?

Tomorrow morning Nick and I get the opportunity to travel to Pawley’s Island, South Carolina, for a little winter getaway with a dear friend from church! I feel guilty, because everyone I talk to wants to go too! I wish I could load up everyone I know and take...
