As several of the people closest to me have pointed out, it’s been a while since I’ve written. Life has seemed a bit much for me lately, in both good and not-so-good ways. One of the very, very good ways is through another church that invited me to speak at an event last week-end–a most […]
“Yes” to God?
Thanks to my sage friend who owns it, the Olde English Tea Room is a place that feeds me in both body and soul–and today has proven exactly how/why. During my time there this afternoon, I had a chance to share a rather amazing story with my friend/the owner, a story that is connected to […]
The White Witch of Winter
As I watched the snow fall yesterday, I was awed by how spectacularly beautiful it was; and my little girl was too. She said to me in fact, after she asked me if I thought God was letting it snow it again just because he knew how much she didn’t want to school, “Oh, Mom, […]
Peaks and Valleys (and an apologetic life)
Today (Saturday) is the first day since Monday that my little girl and I have exited our home, except for the backyard/deck. We live in a very wooded subdivision; and when ice comes, it tends to stick around for a while. One would have thought this week would have yielded much fruit for a writer, […]
Feeling God’s Pleasure
I have a really good friend who’s told me more than once that we should all do at least one thing each day that we’re afraid of; and I don’t think for one minute that she means fear as in “I’m afraid of the dentist.” I think I know her well enough to know that […]
A Christmas Lamb
So, there’s something I’ve been wanting to write about for weeks but my schedule has not allowed me much writing time. And, though it might seem a little late now since what I wanted to write about is truly a Christmas story, it seems to me to also be the perfect other time to share […]

“These Afflictions Eclipsed by Glory”
As you will no doubt guess after reading another post about a David Crowder song, I really do like Crowder’s music–his message. His music feels so real to me. The first song of his that really pulled me in to a better place with God, “How He Loves,” contains the line “these afflictions eclipsed by […]
“Through the eyes of men…..”
The title of this post is a line from another Lauren Daigle song that my husband introduced me to recently. The actual song is “Come Alive (Dry Bones),” and its lyrics are very powerful. In an interview I read (by Kevin Davis), Daigle says that the song is based upon Scripture from the books of […]
How Can It Be, Lord?!
Another song whose lyrics have taken over my mind more than once lately is sung by Lauren Daigle. She talks on YouTube about the origin of the “How Can It Be” song. It was written from the perspective of the woman in the Bible who was caught in the middle of adultery. As this woman […]
