I am always amazed when I go to the sea. Brilliant sugar-white sand shines in the sun which makes my heart leap, because I know in moments my toes will be in the surf. The dunes stand guard over the shore like pyramids. On this beach, white morning glories weave their way up to the … Continue reading Come to the Sea

70 Years
Our hometown paper has a front page article about D Day. It is the 70th anniversary of that fateful day when Allied troops began the push to liberate Europe. Because it is the anniversary, there has been more media attention this year than previous years. It talks about how the battle was the turning point … Continue reading 70 Years
Cry Baby
I am a crier. My eyes leak at the least little things. A Hallmark commercial. A sappy chick flick. A student having a light-bulb moment. A romance novel. A child of mine napping. A full moon. A summer storm. A walk in the woods. A long conversation. A beautiful song. A friend in need. A … Continue reading Cry Baby
The Land of Opportunity
I have spent the last year learning about the world. Through the eyes of my daughter, I have seen amazing and sometimes heart wrenching stories of poverty, slavery, and abandonment. I have gone half way around the world to see them for myself. Looking into hopeless eyes causes you to see things differently. They are … Continue reading The Land of Opportunity
A Prayer
On this National Day of Prayer I pray... Father God, I come to you on this day we set aside to pray, not to blast you with requests, not to tell you how I believe things should be going, not to petition you at all. I come to you today to listen. I want to … Continue reading A Prayer
Doors
I love doors. Old ones, elaborately carved ones, simple ones, bright ones, rustic ones…they draw my eye and peak my curiosity. A door that turns my head seems to invite me in, as if it has a story to tell. Depending on the building, I find myself … Continue reading Doors
Alabastar Jar
This is a blog I wrote a while back. During Holy Week, I thought it was appropriate to bring it back since that is when it occurred. Feel free to share it with others. Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisee’s house and … Continue reading Alabastar Jar
Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20
I have noticed a trend. I am sure you have noticed it too. Disaster happens. Blame game follows. It doesn’t seem to matter what the disaster is either. The latest is the winter storm in Atlanta that stranded thousands of people on the highways. People are blaming the governor, the mayor, and the DOT for … Continue reading Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20
Seven Years
I am sitting at the travel clinic hoping the soreness of my arms from my Thailand immunizations subsides before I have to drive. As I wait to make sure I have no allergic reaction, I ponder the fact that this is the only day I could get an appointment. This day is exactly 7 years … Continue reading Seven Years
Standing in the Valley of Dry Bones
I must confess that I am glad to see 2013 go. It was not the best of years for me, in fact it was quite the opposite…one of the worst I have had in a while. The reasons are too numerous and boring to mention here, so let’s just say I am looking forward to … Continue reading Standing in the Valley of Dry Bones
