Always There

Thursday, May 7, 2015

Take Time To Be Holy

Tuesday, March 24, 2015

Snowflakes drifted slowly down from above, all shapes and sizes. I remembered from a long-ago science class that supposedly no two snowflakes are the same. Since I have not examined all the snowflakes in the past, and I really doubt that I … Read more

Benefits

Wednesday, February 25, 2015

Is life getting you down? Are you feeling like Atlas, carrying the world on your shoulders? Sad, blue, depressed, restless? I know that I have felt like that, and often, I don't know what brought it on. Then, when I come to my senses and … Read more

Sonshine

Saturday, February 7, 2015

A God Moment

Thursday, November 20, 2014

A few Sundays ago, our minister asked us to think about (and share if we so chose) a God moment that we'd had at some point in our lives. I wasn't sure at first what she meant, but fortunately she went on to explain that for this purpose, … Read more

Singing In The Garden

Tuesday, September 9, 2014

Off The Cliff

Saturday, July 5, 2014
