I started a new job last week. A local snack food company was needing help and called me to come work on the production line for as long as I could. I agreed though I was not sure how my "haven't worked in a year" body would handle the 9-10 hours on my feet per… Continue reading My Father’s Heart: Always Seasoning

Enough is Enough: My Story Part 2
Enough is enough! The weeds are back and I really need to do something about them this year. Too sick to do much about them last year I should not be surprised at their rapid advance. However, the ones that frustrate me the most are the ones I tried to deal with only to see… Continue reading Enough is Enough: My Story Part 2
Healing Waters: A Testimony
Some of my favorite stories in the Bible are the ones where people are healed. Not only is it incredible to read of God’s healing power but also the various ways in which he chooses to accomplish it. From a simple word spoken to making a mud pack, Jesus demonstrated that there is not just… Continue reading Healing Waters: A Testimony
Pruned and Prepared
The robins have appeared and more and more warm days are being recorded. Even though a snow storm is brewing now, winter is just a dead man walking. Spring has come and I can declare that winter will no longer be able to stop all the new life abounding. Just yesterday, at a nice 48… Continue reading Pruned and Prepared

I find that my nose reacts especially negatively to… Continue reading A Distinct Aroma; Like It or Not

Just like the people mentioned in the Bible, my friends and family have brought me to Jesus… Continue reading The Healing Journey

Boy, have they been right about the "get worse" part as I find myself knee deep in the "worse" and struggling to function; I really hope they are right about the “it gets better” part too.… Continue reading It’s Dying Off
A View from the Bench
Put me in coach! The memory of hearing those words echoed in my head as I watched the Super Bowl on Sunday. A memory prompted by the television camera scanning the sidelines of the Denver Broncos; so many football players standing there on the team but not playing the game. As a past volleyball coach… Continue reading A View from the Bench
It’s About Time!
What flies by so fast it cannot be caught More precious than gold yet cannot be bought To be on it great, to be out of it sad When we need it there’s never enough to be had We measure it, mark it, and to it we bide I wish it’s affect on my face… Continue reading It’s About Time!
