The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14. Something has occurred to me this holiday season. Christmas is a celebration of flesh. Seems kind of odd to say … Continue reading Word Made Flesh
Life Outside My Window
I sit in my recliner today smelling of cherry eucalyptus and vapor rub. My hair is matted in the back from napping on and off all day. My red nose rivals that of Rudolph, and my chair-side table is overflowing with tissue, cough drops, and all other flu related items. I have my kindle, my … Continue reading Life Outside My Window
Nineteen…Time Flies
This is a reposting of a blog I wrote when Peter turned twelve. Change a couple of words and presto...it still fits and it's one of my favorite Christmas stories. 😉 Nineteen years ago at Christmastime, our family decided to drive through Burt’s Pumpkin Farm to see the Christmas light display. We had heard it … Continue reading Nineteen…Time Flies

2nd Act

My Fashion Statement
This blog is entirely written tongue-in-cheek.... Boots are all the rage, and as the weather cools they come out in force. This year, I decided to get in on the fashion craze.

I Am
I am. Two words. Two words which proclaim identity. I am a mother. I am a wife. I am a woman. I am a teacher. I am a friend. I am a sister. I am a daughter. I am a believer. All of these things define me. All proceeded by two words, which connect me … Continue reading I Am
