New Beginnings
And so a new school year has begun! I don’t know about you but when I was growing up, I always looked forward to this time of year. I couldn’t wait to get new school supplies and maybe a few new clothes. As I got older, I looked forward to meeting new classmates and new […]
Pick Me
I have always loved Queen Anne’s Lace and I’ve often wondered how something so beautiful could possibly be a weed. If you’re not familiar with it, you can find it growing along a country road or next to a field. Be sure to look for it. Its unique design reminds me of a snowflake. Recently, […]
What’s holding you back?
You guys. If you read my previous thoughts about going to the Dominican, I hope you will read this one! I’m back home now, and oh my….. I’m so thankful I didn’t let fear stop me from going on this mission trip. Every single bad thing I thought might happen….didn’t. What I thought would be […]
Where Does Your Peace Come From?
Several years ago, we went on our first mission trip. The place was Costa Rica. It was a life-changing experience; however, I remember telling my husband during that week that I wasn’t cut out for this. I remember being so relieved when we got home. I had learned to appreciate what I took for granted. […]

Having integrity means you are true to yourself and would do nothing that demeans or dishonors you.” I believe […]
A Father’s Love
Father’s Day is a special day for many, yet it’s a difficult day for some. If you’ve experienced heartache in some way such as the loss of your father, you may be finding this day difficult to celebrate or observe. My father passed away in 2002, and every year since then I’ve realized how much […]
Once Upon a Time…

Do you ever look back at your high school days? I don’t often, but earlier today something made me think back to my freshman year. It was my favorite year in school because everything was new. I was anxious the summer before, but I looked forward to going to a new school — mostly, I […]
Home, Sweet Home
We are back in Indiana – the state we’ve lived in since we were born — with the exception of the last 3 years when we lived in Florida. I don’t even know where to begin…. I cannot believe how much life has changed for us. We’ve been “home” for 5 weeks, however, last night […]

We are getting ready to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary this summer. T h i r t y – f i v e years. It seems like yesterday when we first met. How has time slipped by so quickly? Maybe it has something to do with life. You know – those things that fill our […]
