A Trip Down Covid Lane

What a wonderful mountain retreat with my photoalbum buddies!  Working…sharing…teaching each other new methods and tips…laughing…learning.  Ooops, one had to go home early – she was not feeling well.  Sadly, the text comes back within 24 hours that the Covid test was positive.  We all lift her up in prayer. Finish the retreat and return

Photos & Stories – Too Many Yet Not Enough

I remember opening a packaged roll of film and putting it into my camera – and yes, pulling the tab of the film roll across the back of the camera to latch into the roller, then closing the back plate of the camera and scrolling to show “#1” in the viewer (or was it #24,

How’s Your Perfection Coming?

OK, remember “The Fonz”?  That’s Fonzie from the TV series “Happy Days”.  Never was there a character that was more perfect (in his own mind).  He was a 1950’s lovable and almost superhuman greaser who provided us so many laughs.

Put Me In Coach

Watching my granddaughter’s softball games (or any of my gkids playing sports) is awesome fun.  Seeing the amazing amount of enthusiasm and effort they put into it – PLUS, how did she learn that whole pitch routine and get her body to stretch and perform like that?  It’s a basic answer – she needed a

I Choose…

Attitudes do not just happen:  we CHOOSE them.  Henry Blackaby, Experiencing God Day by Day, hit me with this statement recently – and the timing (end of year, look back time, set goals for next year) was right when I needed it. But I was about to brush it off with a glance just thinking

I Can’t Believe I Ate the Whole Thing!

OK – the official celebration of Christmas via stuffed turkeys and stuffed meal participants has now passed for most people.  Hopefully, the major focus of the celebration was on the birth of Christ.  But did you notice this verse? “An angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying “Get up!

Not Quarrelsome?

“There should be no quarrelsome Christians.” What?  Are you kidding? Nope, this is a quote from Henry Blackaby – and the non-quote responses were mine as I read it.  Do you have the same reaction?  Like, how in the world can I, as a Christian, live up to THAT requirement? And is that really what

Energy – Can I Just Bottle Some?

OK – true confession – as a gaggle of little 3-year-olds race past me laughing and jumping, what is the first thought that comes to mind right after smiling at how cute they are?  Bet I am not the only one, too – I say inwardly, “Wow, could I just bottle some of that energy?”
