What holds us together
Several years back I was driving down the road in Oklahoma and I realized my life looked strangely unfamiliar to me. It was a very difficult time in my life. My future seemed so unclear and uncertainty seemed to loom all around me. I must be honest and say that our future still seems unclear at times and our plans. But we are making our way through the changes as best we can and with God’s grace we are seeing our way through slowly but surely. As many of you know, in the last seven years we have taken on...
Read MoreLord, How Does This Fit Into My Purpose
Have you ever thought to yourself~ Lord, How does THIS fit into my life’s purpose? On This Thankful Thursday and many other days I have wondered to myself this very question. On this Thankful Thursday you might be wondering about THIS too! THIS being a demotion at work, a tragedy you never could have prepared for, a broken relationship with no mending in sight, a disease, or even a little bundle of joy, like a new baby when you feel over the hill. Sometimes in life things fall neatly into place and...
Read MoreThankful Thursdays ~ The Stuff That Makes Me Crazy! Encore’
What if on this Thankful Thursday … You lose your keys … You lose your dog … You can’t find your purse and you’re late to a meeting … You get home with all the hamburgers and no fries … Or you’re at the checkout at some grocery store and realize you forgot the eggs in the deepest darkest part of the store.

Read MorePutting On A Garment of Praise ~ Ecore’
Today on this Thankful Thursday I am reminded of my mom and dad. I miss their zest for life. They both shared a passion for music and for Jesus. One of their Favorite CD’s was The Revival In Belfast. In 2002, there was a spectacular performance featuring that music at my parents’ church and they were hooked. In fact, my sweet mom loved it so much she called me and played it, while holding the receiver next to the stereo so I could hear it. It was rather hilarious because I couldn’t even...
Read MoreThankful Thursdays ~ When Your Best Encouragers, Advisers, and Wisdom Givers Die, What Then?
Whenever I needed advise, direction, encouragement and wisdom, I always knew I could always count on my mother and father to be there for me. On this Thankful Thursday I couldn’t help but think about what a blessed and lucky gal I really was. My father seemed to be my “go to man” when it came certain subjects. Sometimes he gave me more advice than I needed, but other times it seemed there was never enough wisdom for one lifetime. Now that he is gone so too is any new wisdom he could impart. I...
Read MoreThankful Thursday ~ Pushing Rocks Up A Hill
Have you ever felt like you were pushing rocks up a hill? I mean really pushing boulders in some rickety old wheel barrel with no end in sight. Some weeks are just hard, some days are just hard too. Okay, frankly, sometimes life is just plain hard, isn’t it? And there is nothing wrong with being honest and admitting that sometimes we struggle, even on Thankful Thursdays. To act as though life were easy would be to me dishonest. And I, my friends, am about being as real, honest and as authentic as I...
