My Peace Symbol
Peace. That peace symbol is all over the place. I see it on everything. It’s difficult to avoid sometimes. I don’t particularly care for it to be honest. It doesn’t really speak peace to me. It reminds me more of a time when there wasn’t peace…when people stood less for true peace and more for…

SHARING SOME THOUGHTS ON ROMANCE
SHARING SOME THOUGHTS ON ROMANCE I’ve been learning a lot about love lately. Loving my children well. Loving my friends well. Loving my family well. Loving my Lord the best. And especially how the Lord loves me. When I was looking up verses on love, it was amazing how many times God uses the word…

Loved Me Even More
I wrote this poem when I was serving as a short term missionary at a women’s shelter in Maryland about 22 years ago. (Could I really be that old? That’s nuts!!) God had met me exactly where I was at that time…serving Him and yet struggling with so much. Now, I read it and find…

Pulling Weeds
I’ve been pulling weeds a lot lately…so much so that I have dreams about pulling large weeds out of my lawn. I kid you not. I see their long tentacles grasping the life out of my sweet little grass and I must pull! Apparently it is a cathartic exercise for me because I can really get carried away with my war…

Growing My Grassy Garden and Other Things
I’m a gardener-wannabe. I have so many friends who have flourishing gardens. Alas, I have a black thumb when it comes to gardening. No one truly has believed me until now. This summer, I have proof. And it isn’t even the dead cherry tree in the side yard. My yard is full of clover and…

Sticky, Dusty and a Little Bit Crazy
I’ve always said that the adjective that best describes my house is “sticky” – not the most sought after description I know. But today, I feel like I might actually be living in the bottom of an old cracker box…full of crumbs and cracker dust. Seriously, everywhere I look is a preponderance of dust. Not sure what changed…

thinking thankfully
I’m sitting on the deck of a beach house in the Outer Banks. It is simply beautiful. I have a deadline for a writing project and I thought this would be an ideal location to work. Alas, it is not. Everytime I sneak out to the balcony to work, children follow. At the moment two…
