She was a sad little structure that resided behind a jungle of overgrown shrubs, vines and trees. She was abandoned and alone and lonely. As I walked around her outside walls she seemed to almost put her best on display and stand up nice and straight. I mean if it were possible for a house to do such a thing. …
Dear Christian, this is not our home
I write this with a measure of fear in my heart. A fear that if I talk about this, write about this, or even think about this that I’m setting myself up for what must be the deepest pain known to man. That something horrible will happen within my family. Yet with open hands and a choice to trust I …
My Daughter, the Millennial
Having a rare five minutes while waiting in an office with nothing good to read, I flipped over to my phone’s news feed. I don’t do this very often, but do check in occasionally and this seemed as good a time as any. One of the articles caught my eye immediately, and in it I found a link to another …
Grabbing up some sunshine and tucking in some hope!

You drive my crazy!
“You drive my crazy!” Colton McCabe, age 3 They say out of the mouths of babes come truth and I’m thinking my little guy got it right. Two important notations here however, one, my little guy is now a college graduate and is three successful semesters away from graduating from law school, and two, he meant to say “me” instead …
What’s the point?
While traveling around a town near me I saw something that struck me as sorta odd. It was a man with a leaf blower, blowing the leaves out of his yard and into the street. Probably millions of people do this everyday and I’m the strange one because I think it is pointless. I mean, if you really want to get rid …
Psalm 118:17
I will not die, but live, and tell of the works of the Lord. Psalm 118:17 If I deny this place and push away the emotions and fear it will mean I am strong and righteous and I will float above this place and my toes will not feel the spongy undersurface or the earthy cold that I know …
Hello There!
Okay, I know, I know. This site is just not all that sure fired exciting. I mean no pictures, no fancy-schmancy ideas, no deep theology, nada, zip, nope. However, big ideas are brewing! I mean, I’m an adventurous woman who has been been trapesing all over the country-side listening and looking and learning and I’ve been taking lots of notes …
