What’s Wrong with Happy?
Last week I had the most wonderful time sitting at a picnic table studying God’s word, journaling, and writing some. It was quiet and peaceful. I felt inspired. I had such a blessed time writing more than I have in months, and guess what? Not one document was saved…not one. Technology and me….ugh. I was…

Can I Say “Really?!?” to God?
Have you ever felt like the verse you just read, the devotional you just opened, or the thought someone just shared was…well…for lack of a better word…ugh?

I Believe
The other night I began another journal. This one is just for scripture. Words I want hidden in my heart and impressed on my mind. The first scripture I wrote in there was Isaiah 43:1-2,4,7 Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through…

Up to My…Head
When I started this blog I wanted to offer hope with a dash of humor thrown in for good measure. I can, at times, be a little funny. My amusing side has been slipping a bit lately, and I’d like to find that voice again. As I begin this new year, I’m thinking I want…
