Dispute Resolution
The first time I heard about dispute resolution was way back when my son was in law school. Here’s the definition via Google: “Dispute resolution is the process of resolving disputes between parties. The term dispute resolution is sometimes used interchangeably with conflict resolution, although conflicts are generally more deep-rooted and lengthy than disputes.” Google’s […]
Hope for you
We planted sunflowers and zinnias in our garden this year. Still waiting on the sunflowers to bloom. However, the zinnias are absolutely beautiful. I love all the different colors and details that make them all so unique. I recently decided to gather a few and make a bouquet. I’m not very experienced with this, so […]
A New Life
In this time of uncertainty, I long for God’s presence more than ever. What seemed so real and dependable, you know – those things that filled our time up with memories, are now suddenly gone. Vanished into thin air. So now we experience the emptiness of life and we grieve the loss of our normal. […]

“Before you ask for healing, make sure you are willing to give up what made you sick.” @RealTalkKim When I was a freshman in high school, I became obsessed with my weight. All of my friends had a gymnast’s build, and there I was – everything but that. Looking back, I really didn’t look that […]

I should’ve known that I was being prepared for a disappointing day when I read my devotions this morning.… “Try to see things more and more from My perspective….When little things don’t go as you had hoped, look to Me lightheartedly and say, “Oh, well.” ~ Jesus Calling. That was only a small part of […]
Neglect = Regret

When I was driving by our neighborhood pool recently, fun summer memories began to flood my thoughts. I remember one particular summer day that I spent with my three sons. I grabbed some money for snacks and our beach towels, then we headed to the pool for the day. Simple, but good. When the boys […]

Do you ever feel a tug on your heart to do something, and you wonder if it’s coming from the Lord? Days go by, and you realize that the tug has become more like a weight on your heart. You commit it to prayer, and although you don’t think you’ve received that clear-cut answer, you […]
