Stand for Something
Yesterday I went to the amazing production of Daniel by Sight and Sound in Lancaster, PA. It was worth the watch for sure. Take sometime to read about this Hebrew youth who found himself taken captive in a strange country and the struggles that come with being apologetically you in your faith walk. As heContinue reading “Stand for Something”
Funny How
My son literally did college with me. As a toddler, he hung out with just about any of my college friends who had some free time. On days when I had babysitting emergencies, they often rotated watching him, so I could get a class or two in. He roamed this campus – very energetic andContinue reading “Funny How”
You Still Shine
Things have a way of being here today and gone tomorrow. Sometimes, however, there’s that one thing that grabs a hold of your heart for whatever reason. My dad gave me this necklace in 1990 – that’s 34 years ago! It’s the only thing that I possess at this moment that has my dad’s markContinue reading “You Still Shine”
The Change
“I sit in Your presence bathed in your peace. Desiring the changed me that ‘can run with the horsemen’. When you choose not to change my situation – change me to ride with the waves. May I develop ‘hinds’ feet’ so I can leap over walls and traverse the difficult terrains of this life. GiveContinue reading “The Change”
What You Don’t See

It’s mommy’s special day and it warms the heart. While we bask in the joys of the day, many sit in pain today. What you don’t seeContinue reading “What You Don’t See”
Triple Threat
Every now and then I’d hear someone say, ‘God has answered all my prayers.’ That has not been my story, but I think I understand what they’re saying.There are things we tend to prioritize in life as important. Having a good career, bills paid, a great family, kids who do ‘right’, someone to do lifeContinue reading “Triple Threat”
That Classroom
I saw this writing prompt awhile back and it made me smile. High school was a whole ‘classroom’ by itself. ‘Describe something you learned in High School’ Many of us from my high school class are still in touch. We attend birthday celebrations, weddings, funerals, and meet up just to meet. My high school wasContinue reading “That Classroom”
Talk to Me
Writing Prompt- ‘What Topics do you like to discuss?’ I’ve never met a girl who doesn’t like to talk. We may choose our topics wisely but we love to talk. As we mature, I find my friends and I love to reminisce. Remembering our childhood sins is a great topic – like the one above.Continue reading “Talk to Me”
He Left
Yesterday one of my students came to class for the last time. He was with me for a few months but was now relocating. Truthfully, my heart hurts to see him go. He has been a light in my classroom- funny, insightful, helpful and passionate about learning. We had a ‘see-you’ later party and celebratedContinue reading “He Left”
