The Old Hymns
Before I became a mom over 9 years ago, I worked as a social worker for Hospice. I absolutely loved my job, but knew that once I became a mom, that job was more important and I left Hospice behind. I did volunteer for them for awhile, but found my home life made it difficult…
Read More Labor Day Weekend
As many other families, we closed out our summer (even though the kids have been in school since August 20th) with a great weekend. God certainly blessed us with perfect weather this weekend and allowed us to recharge our batteries and get ready for a busy schedule ahead. This was our last free weekend for…
Read More God’s Light
Tonight I have the devotions for my church’s Circle meeting. I thought I would share it to remind you that God is always with you. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. Psalm 121:8 NLT A mother and her four-year-old daughter were preparing for bed one night.…
Read More Every Hair On Your Head
Today, I was home with my son Bennett who was sick. He is my snuggler, my thinker and my questioner. He likes to ask those big questions like Why did God make the sky blue?, When will I get to see Grandma Margaret again (she passed away in Dec 2006)? How come people have to…

I just want to take a moment and ask you, as I have before, to stop and tell your family, your friends, your spouse, your children how much you love them. Today Jill, who I wrote about a few days ago, passed away after suffering a brain aneurysm on Wednesday morning. I am deeply saddened…
Read More Stop Complaining!
Every Wednesday I attend Bible Study Fellowship of BSF. This year we have been studying Moses. Today we were studying Numbers, chapters 11-12 where the Israelites are complaining about their situation. During our lecture time, we were challenged to think about how much we complain. For example…when I go to the grocery store to get…
Read More The New Has Come!
Even though we are expected to get some snow here tonight and tomorrow, I am still focusing on the fact that Spring is just 1 month away. 2 Corinthians 5:17 states Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come! Soon we will be shedding…
Read More When I Am Weary
Yesterday was a really long day, as are most Wednesdays. Pat was also having a late appointment, so wasn’t home in the evening. I was just exhausted and all I wanted to do was crawl into bed. Today, is an entire day at home with my daughter and no plans in the evening. So, it…
