Every time I walk out of the garage, I walk past the same items that need to be donated. I’m done with them and have been done with them for a long time. Yet, they are still there. I sit down at my desk and glance over to see the same paperwork that was piled…

To Every Thing There is a Season
If you are someone who is privileged to live in a climate where there is a change of season, you know what a blessing it can be. In Virginia, we are now going full throttle into Fall, not only by the calendar date, but also by the cooler mornings, shorter days, and falling leaves. Although…
Friends Brighten Our Day
A few weeks ago, a neighbor of ours was going to be away on a trip and asked if we would mind watering her plants. As a fellow plant-lover and wanting to help out, of course I said yes. That’s what friends, and friendly neighbors, do. When she returned home, she spoiled us with some…
Sometimes Little Ones Aren’t the Only Ones Who Ask Why

I had started to write this post before the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas played out before our eyes and grief took over our nation yet again. I still remember where I was standing when I heard the similar horrific news of the Sandy Hook and Columbine shootings. Moments like these elicit a true gut-wrenching –…
Check Out My New Bible Study!
In February of this year, I published my first Bible study, “ALONE – Socially Distanced but Nigh to God”. To give a little background of how it came to fruition, I’ve included an excerpt of the introduction to the book: On March 13, 2020, I sent my girls to school that day with specific instructions,…
Because Life IS Just a Vapour
I have to admit – I am new to this blog thing. But I hope that doesn’t deter you from returning. My goal is to encourage you with just a small thought each time you check in. To step back from the hustle and bustle, become still, and think on something simple yet meaningful. To…
