I spoke at a women's retreat today. It is a group of amazing women who are changing their lives by improving their health. Several of them requested a copy of what I shared...so here you go girls! Go and walk in your FREEDOM! When I asked the Lord what word he wanted me to bring … Continue reading Shackled

Lessons of 9-11
I awoke in the wee hours of the morning to a sky that was crying. It seems to me each year it weeps on this day, as if the heavens are grieving all those lost 17 years ago. The clouds hang low, full of tears which overflow. The gray blanket covers the land creating a … Continue reading Lessons of 9-11
Losing Things (Guest Blog)
Memory issues- a multitude of obstacles having to do with different types of memory. Depending on which part of the memory is affected, the difficulties can be wide in range and scope. The resulting behaviors cause frustration and can affect day to day life in jobs as well as family relationships. As told to me … Continue reading Losing Things (Guest Blog)
Kayaking
In an effort to keep my body moving, I have desired to take up kayaking for a while now. My legs still work, but some days I am not sure how long that will be true. The cartilage in the joints is disintegrating thanks to chemo, so hiking can sometimes be painful. Being a paddler … Continue reading Kayaking
True Love
I had the privilege of being raised in the overflow of True Love. My parents set an example, which has inspired me on the toughest days of my own marriage. Their relationship started when she was 13 and he was 16, and going steady was the way things were done. Their young love never wavered … Continue reading True Love
Winnie the Pooh
I have always been a Pooh fan. I remember the books as a child and the wonder they created when the pictures and text danced together upon the pages. They were unlike “regular” books and, because of their creative formatting, little girls and boys would be curious enough to turn and discover something new on … Continue reading Winnie the Pooh
Cave Rescue
Our Uber driver told us they found the boys in the cave alive. “Isn’t that amazing?” he asked. I had no idea if it was or not, because I had no idea what he was talking about. I stopped watching the news a couple of years ago, around the same time I removed political opinions … Continue reading Cave Rescue
Under the Bus
We went to Seattle to see our shy, quiet little girl walk across the stage to receive her Masters’ degree in counseling. The bold and beautiful woman she has become is a wonder to watch. The transformation from her childhood to now is amazing and proof of what it means to be led by God … Continue reading Under the Bus
A Closed Door. An Open Book.
I closed the door to my Aunt Betty’s home for the last time today. Locked it up. Said goodbye to the cherry tree she loved so much. A few weeks ago, the grounds crew came and pruned the tree. Melinda and I cried, and as our tears flowed, we were ready to go to battle … Continue reading A Closed Door. An Open Book.
My Apologies
I owe my sons an apology. Allow me to explain. In the refugee camps, they have squatty potties. I will try to paint a picture, for those of you who have never travelled to a place with these kinds of potties. There is usually a building with a stall or two. In each stall is … Continue reading My Apologies
