If you have lived long enough to walk through some of life’s challenges, you may have noticed that the miracle is often in the ordinary. There are no thunderbolts or lightning. The blessing, the answer to prayer comes in the ordinary. The story is told of the Apostle Paul encountering shipwreck while being transported toContinue reading “In The Ordinary”

In My Feelings
It’s midday and I have the day off. I’m lounging on my sofa watching the trees dancing to the beat of the winds and soaking in the rain from the effects of Ms. Idalia. She’s passing by heading somewhere towards the FL gulf coast. What am I feeling right now? How am I feeling rightContinue reading “In My Feelings”
Why Me?
That’s a common question we ask when hit with tough twists and turns in life. Why me? Here’s something to chew on – Why not you? Why not me? Often, I’ve read the Psalms and wondered what the writers were walking through when they wrote those life-changing words. Words that years later still comfort, inspire,Continue reading “Why Me?”
PUSH
Today may be a tough one. Possibly, you do not welcome the dawn of this new day. Questions might be swirling around your head as the fight leaves your body. This struggle is real and you have little strength to leap over the walls that want to hold you captive. This could be the postureContinue reading “PUSH”
Catching Up
I missed this prompt while I was busy making travel plans. I thought I might just reflect on what was, by giving a glimpse into my awesome trip. This journey took me to my beloved island nation. The pandemic had rudely interrupted our plans as a family , so we had to switch somethings around.Continue reading “Catching Up”
Hard to Say Goodbye
This past week part of my high school graduating class came together after 40 years. It was something almost ‘other worldly’. Many of us hadn’t seen nor heard from each other in decades. What amazed me the most was how easy it was to reconnect. Sure we had grown up (somewhat😊), but the child inContinue reading “Hard to Say Goodbye”
Where it All Started
Over 40 years ago, a group of bright-eyed bushy tail kids met at the high school we so lovingly call ‘The One Don’. This week we gathered for our 40 year reunion- a week long celebration. For sure the kid in us came alive again. As we toured our beloved campus, we certainly got nostalgicContinue reading “Where it All Started”
Made For This
As a teenager leaving high school, I was blank. I had no idea what I wanted to do. My pastor suggested that I tried teaching. That was never on my vision board and I thought it funny. I then reasoned with myself; I had nothing to lose by giving it a shot. I would leaveContinue reading “Made For This”
Coming Up Empty
It’s mid-week and mid-year. I sense mental fatigue and it’s time to rest, replenish, and restore. These are the moments when writing can become difficult. We reach deep, come up empty and flirt with the temptation to quit. Life’s like that. When we come face to face with our limitations, fighting is sometimes the lastContinue reading “Coming Up Empty”
You Had Me at Hello
Well, let’s be honest –I don’t remember if he ever said “hello”! This was many decades ago. I have written about him twice on my blog. I attached those links below. Why are there still lingering memories of the music he played on the strings of my heart? We’ve moved on a long time ago.Continue reading “You Had Me at Hello”
