Making Adjustments

I'm getting old. There, I said it out loud. I am almost 50 (two years to go!) and I recently had to get an upgrade in my glasses prescription. I call it an upgrade because that sounds better than saying my vision is getting worse. I knew it was time because when I looked through... Continue Reading →

MMmmmm…Tasty?

Sometimes you just have to wonder... this really came up in a grocery store app when I searched for wet cat food. I don't know if this is someone's idea of a joke, if they really hate shepherd's pie and this was a slam against it, or they are actually recommending you make it with... Continue Reading →

Check Your Backyard

The weather has warmed up! Feel free to read that sentence with whatever emotion it stirs in you. For some (like my oldest daughter) it is a relief and blessing to have warmer temperatures. For me, the warmer temperatures are great, but the fact that it is also raining is problematic. The combo of warmth... Continue Reading →

Reckless Driving, Really?

We're in the days now where snow keeps dumping from the sky, amiright? It seems we caught a break today and perhaps for the next few days, but bear with me, wouldya? If you're anything like me, you're tempted, when it's that light, fluffy, sparkly kind of snow that looks like it belongs in a... Continue Reading →

Do I Think I Can?

1 Corinthians 3:16 "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" I know. But sometimes I live like I forgot. I am not a fast driver. I am not an aggressive driver. But when I get behind the wheel, it feels as if everyone... Continue Reading →

Focus on Being, Not Doing

The new year is a great time to take a step back and evaluate how things are going. There are a lot of areas of our lives where we can do this, but none is more important than our spiritual lives. It’s good to know what we did well, so we can keep going. And... Continue Reading →

Rose-Colored Past

Does your family have a group text where you share all manner of plans, discussions, debates, and funny stuff? My youngest daughter got married a few months ago, and we added her husband to the “Family” chat. This of course means that those of us still actually living in the house needed a separate chat...

Times and Seasons

Have you ever stopped and consciously thought about the fact that God orchestrates the times and changing of the seasons? I mean, most of the time I take it for granted that God is in control. Everything just sort of continues in this familiar schedule and pattern. For the most part I know, within reason,... Continue Reading →

Foundations Matter

My husband and I recently bought a new mattress. We bought one of those memory foam mattresses, and while it was much easier to maneuver up the stairs, it was HEAVY. It came tightly rolled in plastic. So tightly rolled that I thought it would be too small for the frame, that they had sent... Continue Reading →

Cranky Puppies

Have you ever started a project that you were sure was so simple that you could finish in no time (without any help from anyone else!), but when you got started it was more complicated than you thought, and drug out so long that you actually never completed it? Or maybe you’ve had ideals of... Continue Reading →
