One of my favorite things about the internet is YouTube. (Have you noticed?!) At different times I will check out a favorite song. Maybe it’s a song from the 80’s or 90’s as I reminisce about those high school and college days, a sentimental/NoStaLgiC song, a favorite love song, an inspirational song, a song toContinue reading “One Unique Gift”

This Amazing Thing Called Grace
The spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41 (KJV) It is sometimes easier for people to focus on “tHe SpiRit is WilliNg” and forget that “tHe FleSh is wEaK”. They expect RoCk-sTaR pErfoRmaNce and beat themselves up when their performance is anything LeSs tHaN pErFeCt. Can you relate? It’s important for youContinue reading “This Amazing Thing Called Grace”
Strong-Willed Child – The Challenge (Wk 14)
Do you have one? A StRoNg-WiLLeD ChiLd, that is. I actually have two, but my youngest is the one with the strongest will.

Rude for you. Ok for me.
Have you ever left a message for someone who didn’t return your call/text/email and thought, “HoW RuDe!”? I have to admit, this has happened to me on numerous occasions.

Modern-Day Penpal
Did you ever have a penpal? Back in elementary school I remember our teacher assigning us one as a class project. My penpal’s name was Alexis, from Pennsylvania.

Some Days I Want To…
…and not in the fun “YAY” sort of way. Yesterday was one of those days. On the outside I was CaLm, but inside I wanted to shout! It started with fussy kids, spilling oatmeal on the floor, forgetting we had an appointment that morning and unfortunately spiraled out of control from there. Sound familiar? SomeContinue reading “Some Days I Want To…”
