Keith and I went to Mobile to spend time with his family this month on the 4th holiday.  This holiday has always been one of my favorites.  I just love everything about this time of year, the beach weekends, the lake days, the warm weather, sand in your toes, flip flops, fireworks, the watermelon, blueberry [...]

So there’s a little tricky Gecko hiding out somewhere in our Master Bedroom, teasing us with his bag o’ tricks.  We tried for an hour to catch him last night but he’s so sneaky!  We tried to sick Millie on him, to go under the bed and attack, but she just thought it was play [...]

Frankie began visiting mom’s back porch on Sunday, May 16, 2010 the week our friend Courtney’s wedding. Courtney has a black cat exactly the same color named “Frank” so we affectionately named her “Frankie.”

Two weeks later on Sunday evening, May 30th, Frankie brought her six adorable baby kittens to live at their new home!  We estimate they [...]

This photo was taken a year ago…June 24th with my precious cousin Karen and her little girl Elli, a.k.a. “lollipop”…

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 [...]

Recenty, I wrote to a friend in response to her desperate situation. In responding to her deep, wounded need, it actually began a healing inside of me and brought clarity into my own wounded heart. I realized today how it is possible for God to be made stronger, in our weakness. That [...]

“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 [...]
