Have you ever been sitting at home, and the caller-id says “by best friend is calling” – you know, the one who lives a million miles away and you haven’t seen in forever? And you get this big warm smile on your face, and you snuggle into the couch, because you know it’s going [...]
“Every Action has an Equal and Opposite Reaction.” – said by Sir Isaac Newton, a philosopher nearly four centuries ago. What goes up, must come down. Newton’s gravitational laws apply to the physical universe, and those laws still apply to our world today. Everything that goes up is [...]
Today when I woke up the first thing in my heart were the words, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Waking up with praises on your lips is the best way to start the day. Especially on a Monday! “Praising God because..” is just another way to count [...]
I’ve began noticing the foggy cloud of seasonal change again, which causes the roller-coaster lifestyle, like a tilt-a-whirl of emotional dips. Maybe it’s the sun’s lazy-low rotation in the sky or the early sunsets. But the occasional down day, turns into the down week or for some a down season.

To make you famous I’d do anything.
To make you famous, it is my sacrifice,
To make you famous, I’m laying down down my life

Last week when I was researching Faith, for my ladies meeting bible study, I discovered a word that will forever change my thinking about Faith.¬†¬† In Hebrews 11, our “hall of faith” chapter – it talks about all the men of faith in the word who lived their life with the greatest faith man has [...]
Has it really been two and a half months since my last posting!¬† Wow.¬† While I’ve still been “mostly” faithful to journal with my beloved paper and pen, [a pilot precise V5 roller ball extra fine blue or black] I felt the need today to come catch up my blog thoughts and maybe add a [...]
I’ve been working on a few new designs lately…a T-Shirt for a local political organization, my twitter background & a few print pieces. I love visual and graphic design for just about anything. When we talk about events for the church or for the community, my marketing and advertising wheels start churning!
