Oh, how we love “good news!” while bad news just wreaks havoc within the depths of our souls! My adopted grandson celebrated his 3rd birthday, Monday, May 4th and that evening his mommy (my oldest daughter, Carlie) was near death.

Chronicles of the Librarian, Episode 10
Episode #10 I was talking with the Monday night Librarian (on Monday night) and it occurred to me how the Lord shapes us to do a job for Him no matter our age or status. Consider the three of us “Librarians.” You have the “Real” Librarian and then the Monday night Librarian and finally, me, … Continue reading Chronicles of the Librarian, Episode 10
National Day of Prayer!
We are offered Peace, But we dwell in pandemonium! We are offered Contentment, But we convey dissatisfaction! We are offered Cleansing, But we prefer to “waller” around in our guilt!

Celebrating 5 Years with WordPress!
Five years ago, my heart was heavy. I was alone much of the time. Having been laid aside with a herniated disk, I wondered to what purpose God would use it.

The Third “P”
“Rodrigo” (as I like to call him) and I had a lovely cookout the other day! The food was great, and the company was amusing 😉 but what thrilled me the most was the peaceful setting. No thoughts of a “Lockdown” or even a “virus;” No worry or care “called in” to interrupt that peace-filled … Continue reading The Third “P”
From Praise to Prayer
During this isolating pandemic period, I was motivated to read several books that are lying around the house longing for me to pick them up. One small book, easily digested but held a wealth of spiritual truth, is If You Will Ask by Oswald Chambers. This book, insightful and timely, is a testimony of Chambers’ … Continue reading From Praise to Prayer
Sacrificed on the Altar: PRAISE
Ashamedly, there have been multiple times in my life when I have told the Lord I could not praise Him in the midst of a difficult situation. After He provided the relief and I saw a resolution to the difficulty, I would praise Him. Yet, there are some heartrending complexities that remain to this day … Continue reading Sacrificed on the Altar: PRAISE
