YOU are Someone’s Ancestor

Yes, YOU!  You are someone’s ancestor – either through children or nieces and nephews or whatever future generations are linked to you.  And that includes adoptive or step families.   But here is my main question to you – what will those future generations know about you? As I am preparing for the next round of

Should I Mind My Own Business

Who brought this up for me?  I could say “Henry Blackaby” because of a recent devotional of his.   But the truth is that it came up again – I observed someone not being fully truthful about something because they “just didn’t want to get involved”.    Blackaby says “One of the Christian’s greatest deterrents from sin

Back Off You Biting Bugs 

It’s that time of year again – and I am back in my least-favorite position.   Don’t know if you are like me, but I am usually the first in the crowd chosen by those annoying gnats or biting bugs like mosquitoes and even horseflies (they have a stinging bite). So I am pulling out my

How Did You Get to School Each Day?

In a recent blog, I introduced you to Leslie Leyland Fields’ book Your Story Matters:  Finding, Writing, and Living the Truth of Your Life.   Why?  Partly because she is great at pulling the written story out of us – amazing, actually. But more to the point, here is how I answered her questions on this

Spiritual Markers

“Spiritual memory is crucial in the Christian life.”  Quote from Henry Blackaby.  Makes my heart sing. Why?  As I guide people to capture the essence of their life-story in a photobook, I am convinced that one of the most important parts I can encourage them to include is looking at the key crossroads in their

Who Comes First – Me or You?

Seriously – who comes first?  Is it me or you?   Trust me, I know many of us are instantly hearing the worldly thinking so prevalent today which encourages us to live our own life and take care of our own needs and wants first. If you doubt me on this, just search online for “take

Traveling?  Consider this…

Maybe you already know this and have it handled.  But if you don’t, I think you would really appreciate knowing about it. Do you travel out of the country?  Or have plans to do so?  Or do you expect to go in the future? If so, have you dealt with “traveler’s diarrhea”?   Ugh, Candy,
