Back to the Beginning
I began filling out my passport application. I’m going along quite nicely until I get to the part where it asks the date I got divorced or widowed. I had to think really hard on the date I got divorced, and I can’t quite pinpoint the exact date. Earlier in the application process they asked…

You Never Forget Your First…
Pick a first…any first in your life that you can remember from the time that you could….well, remember. You’re first kiss. The first time you held hands with a crush. The first time your heart was broken. You’re first roller coaster ride or plane trip. The first time you “knew” what you wanted to be…

Good Enough
Over on the Proverbs 31 site, we are having our weekly blog hop day for our current On-line Bible Study…A Confident Heart, by Renee Swope. It’s an awesome book and highly recommended for anyone no matter where you’re at in life. I liked the idea of writing myself a letter, that because of Jesus, I am…

Life Interrupted
Being new in my faith, I can’t say as I always “get” what God is trying to tell me. I can read His Word and listen to Worship music, tap my feet and sing till someone tells me to stop because I’m told, someone else is on the radio for a reason. I can go…

#SayWhat
I was sitting in the craft room at my computer no doubt doing something of no real value when I felt this nudge….“confess.” In my head I said “I’m sorry, #saywhat?” I looked around the room as if someone were there whispering from the hallway. Nothing. So, I shook my head and went back to…
