I don’t consider myself a worrywart. My heart and mind don’t do well in that space. I’ve lived long enough to know that most of the things I worry about never manifest anyway. The truth is things do have a way of working out. As a person of faith, I stay in peace by havingContinue reading “You are Always on My Mind”

When I Forget
Here in our sphere of the universe it’s the beginning of a new week. Sometimes I wonder what God ‘sees’. I call it a new week – He calls it ‘what’? I don’t know. The more I know, the more I realize I don’t know. A friend of mine sent me this picture she capturedContinue reading “When I Forget”
I Hate Them Two
I find I have little time to waste. Some days I teach for 9 hours between two campuses. However, there are those in-between moments—the ones I waste worrying over things I can’t change. People I can’t change. I hate when I waste my time, emotional and mental energy investing in people and things that reallyContinue reading “I Hate Them Two”
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”

Father’s Day arouses a whole range of emotions in many people. From feelings of delight, awe, respect and admiration to total disdain. For some it’s a love-hate reality; one that can be confusing at times. When I look at my own relationship with my father, it was puzzling at times. I love the man, butContinue reading “I love Him in His Imperfection”
The Legacy He Left Behind
Recently I was asked who was one of my favorite fathers in the Bible. I know there are many well-known biblical fathers that we speak of quite often. For some reason, my mind immediately went to Zelophehad. Not one of the popular ones –not spoken about frequently. This was a father who passed away andContinue reading “The Legacy He Left Behind”
Shattered Pieces
Have you ever heard a song, smelled a perfume/cologne or seen something that unexpectedly evokes some unwelcomed emotions in you? It can come upon you like a rushing wave, toppling you over at the most inconvenient time. These emotions are like broken glass. Even after you sweep carefully, there may be shattered pieces lying around.Continue reading “Shattered Pieces”
If I Could I Would
If I could, I would protect you from the sadness in your eyes…I know I can never cry your tears. But I would if I could [Regina Belle, 1993]. Don’t you wish you could sometimes? On the last day of classes my students used the prompt ‘If I could, I would…’ to create sentences asContinue reading “If I Could I Would”
Never Forget
As seasons change, chapters close, new doors open and fresh new challenges present themselves—we find ourselves prone to forget how we got over in the first place. We quickly lose sight of Who walked us through the last rodeo. I’m sure you’ve noticed that life consists of a series of strategically designed battles. To maintainContinue reading “Never Forget”
In My Eyes
This is one of the those weeks. Have you ever had one of those when you need one more of you? Some things can’t be delegated. So here I am squeezing in a few minutes to connect with my WP village and others who take the time to read the reflections of my heart. AsContinue reading “In My Eyes”
