“God isn’t asking you to figure it out. He’s asking that you trust that He already has.” Unknown Tonight, there is a pretty big debate that is going to happen. Of course, I am praying as God commands us to do for our country and the world. I am going to try and remain a-political in this post. You are probably thinking, “How can she do that?” Well, maybe I can’t, but I am certainly going to try. Once again,... Read more
“All great change starts at the dinner table.” Ronald Reagan Today we had a big gathering Today we had a gathering at our house to allow others a chance to say goodbye to our son who is about to deploy. I asked my son what he would like to eat, so naturally he chose one of his favorite dishes at our house. Some call them “Funeral Potatoes” we call it “Sunday Casserole.” It is a savory dish with hash brown... Read more
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy”. Disclaimer. I don’t have any answers for these senseless acts committed in the last few days. . My prayers and condolences to those who lost loved ones this week. This musing was the... Read more
Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30 I’ve been spending a little time studying the women in the Bible. They sometimes stepped in a sea of men and helped lead the charge of faith. Who were they? What did they bring to the table? How was it even possible for them to forge ahead in a position of faith and leadership in a male dominated culture? I can... Read more
“If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph; The only proof he needed for existence of God was music.” Kurt Vonnegut Have you ever heard of the Cricket Song? There is a reel that is making the rounds at the moment, it was popular a few years ago and kind of dropped out of sight. Today as I was scrolling, the video started to play. It was called: “Cricket Song.” There was a man who loved... Read more
“The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist sees the hole.” Oscar Wilde This is a different musing. I had seen a lot of reviews of the movie, “It Ends With Us.” I thought I would share my thoughts after reading the book. I love to listen to differing podcasts Recently I was listening to Allie Beth Stuckey. Now, before you all say, “She’s really conservative!” In my defense, I listen to the spectrum of podcasters. I am not wedded... Read more
“Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.” Rabindranath Tagore I’ve been wrestling in my faith walk the last few days I’ve kind of been in a mood in the last few days. My son’s deployment is inching ever closer, I get in a surly mood and just stare at the ceiling. What can I do? What will I do when he leaves? Will he be okay? A year is a long time to... Read more
You have simply got to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on a plow right on.” George Lucas Yesterday I was at the store, the assistant who was ringing up my groceries looked at me as they all do and said, “How are you today Ma’am?” It had been a day, I took a deep sigh and said, “I’m making it, a little slow but that is okay.” He stopped, looked me...

“Faith in God presents a fascinating conundrum. So many of us have faith, but when doubt and unbelief creep in, our faith is the first thing to be compromised.” John Tesh I’ve found myself struggling to trust God As the week starts, I can’t help but take a moment and dwell on the state of the world. I am an American, I am glad that I am. I have children that serve in the US Military. I proudly support them.... Read more
“A sweater is like life, you get nothing out of it that you don’t put into it.” Marilyn Monroe It’s Hot here right now! Today we woke up and our house was a soupy 69 degrees! Summer is still giving us its humid and sweat inducing grip day in and day out. A couple of nights ago we had a hum dinger of a storm that knocked our power out for a good while. We brought out the candles and... Read more
