We had very strong winds recently that caught our front screen door and bent it. I realized, a little too late, how much that has helped us keep Luna from bolting out. She got out three times recently. The first time I didn’t realize she was out and was busy in the kitchen. I heard…

I work at a doctor’s office and meet all sorts of people. All sorts. Within maybe thirty seconds of picking up a call, I am able to tell how this conversation will go. Tone, words, sighs, etc tell me all i need to know. The challenge for me is to care for each person, listen…

Today’s post is a bit different. I came across Psalm 66 and wanted to spend some more time. All join the shouts of joy to God..the whole earth x2. (Vs. 1 & vs. 3) What to sing about… the glory of his name(vs.2), his awe inspiring works(vs.3), his great strength(vs. 3), his name (vs.4), his…

One of my favorite games I play with our little dog Luna is throw a toy, she runs after it. And while she is running after the toy, I throw another one. She stops, considers her options and chooses. then I throw another one. And on we go. Her confusion pinnacles and then she looks…

We have labels for everything. We have names. We even have label makers. Have you ever noticed labels also create walls? Labels can create an us vs them situation. Happens all the time. When we label someone, we create a barrier. Proximity to the ones we label changes our view. We see people then, not…

Recently, I set aside time to be with friends and have some quiet, away from phone and distractions.. The beauty of a phone set aside, allowing the Spirit to lead rather than a concordance or cross reference. (Not that there is anything wrong with these resources.) It is very easy to rely on resources, and…

I will fully admit that my thumb is not green. I don’t think it’s even a slight tinge of the vibrant color that suggest affability with plants, flowers, etc. My mom gifted me, once again, a whole supply of hostas. Last time, it didn’t go well. I killed them. I am so excited because I…

If the Lord had not been on our side… I sit here this morning and it is quiet. The cats are on their perch watching. Tails are swishing slowly back and forth. There is almost a rhythm. Little Luna doesn’t have a rhythm, poor thing. There is no eloquence in her long, skinny legs and…

I realized today that my “newer” Bible does not have much marked in the book of Philippians. I am seeking to change this starting today. Bondman, Bondmaid: from deo, “to bind,” “a slave,” originally the lowest term in the scale of servitude, came also to mean “one who gives himself up to the will of another,”…

Today is a day where we slow down, get together, have barbecue, and celebrate summer is coming. This has always marked, for me, the turning of the season. It can be all those things, yes, but first, let us take a moment for Memorial Day. My dad, when we would all get together, would read…
