If I know every scripture and prayer, but I have not love I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I go to church every single week, and preach to my friends, and know more than everyone else about God, and have every answer, but have not love, I am nothing. If I … Continue reading The Way of Love

Southern Culture
I am a southern girl. I have visited many beautiful places around the country, but the South is my home. I was raised in Atlanta. I grew up going to special lunches at the Swan Coach House and downtown Rich’s at Christmas to ride the Pink Pig. Our field trips took us to the Cyclorama, … Continue reading Southern Culture
Trust Your Footing
My summer has finally arrived. After working a half day Friday and laying by the pool the other half, I feel like my break has really started. Then on Saturday my hiking buddy Jessica came up so we could hike our favorite trail…Raven Cliffs. We got an early start so as to beat the heat, … Continue reading Trust Your Footing
Come to the Well
Becoming a mother was a magical moment. A moment I had dreamed of since I was a small girl. All I ever wanted was to be a mom. Every story circle at preschool, when we went around telling what we wanted to be when we grew up, I said, “A mom.” I remember the teacher … Continue reading Come to the Well

Before the dawn, I dressed in blue jeans and a sweat shirt, grabbed a coat, chairs, and blankets and headed for the hills. As we climbed, the full … Continue reading Whispers on the Wind
Small Town Life
There are many advantages and disadvantages to small town life. It is not easy to be in a place with so few restaurants, or no movie theater. I do not like the fact that you have to drive 45 minutes to obtain medical attention, find a book store, or shop at a mall. You have … Continue reading Small Town Life
City Eyes
I don’t know if you are aware…but there is a difference between city eyes and country eyes. Allow me to explain. At night, in the city, there is a lot of activity…cars moving, people walking, taxis weaving in and out of traffic…it’s just a busy place. When you look around there is light everywhere. Marquee … Continue reading City Eyes
21 Shades of Red
Red is the color of passion. Enraged anger, deep shame and romantic love are all red. Along with these crimson hues, are the lighter shades of pink…innocence, femininity, and virtue. The many shades and depth of the color encompass strong emotions. Emotions that make hearts pump and faces flush. Emotions that make us feel something. … Continue reading 21 Shades of Red
Come to Me
Come to me… all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28 I was … Continue reading Come to Me
