Sometime ago, we stayed in a hotel where I had to share a lumpy double bed with a restless bed hog with a propensity for talking in their sleep. The room being on the smaller side, with an uncomfortable bed (as I previously mentioned), neither were there enough towel racks or hooks, there was one … Continue reading “Tis the season to be comfy!”

Preparation in Hot July!
The stifling heat of July confines me to the indoors. However, it isn’t without a great amount of productivity. Quickly becoming engrossed in reading material in preparation for my September fast and supplying me with ample blogging material, I thank God for the cool air being forced through the H-VAC system of our home. Next … Continue reading Preparation in Hot July!
Comfort Zone Vulnerabilities: The Long Way Home!
You might think making myself vulnerable to meet new people, or learning a new culinary skill, or pushing my rickety body to run, isn’t much of a repertoire for an out of the comfort zone way of life. But they are extremely uncomfortable. On the other hand, they remain barely classified as vulnerability when these … Continue reading Comfort Zone Vulnerabilities: The Long Way Home!
Training to Run a 5K (A definite “OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE” Experience)
Never, and I mean NEVER was “running” a part of my makeup! Yes, certainly, it is a word I use often…I am running to the store; I’m running to drop this off at the post office; etc. But playing basketball in jr. high/high school/a year of college was the closest I ever came to having … Continue reading Training to Run a 5K (A definite “OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE” Experience)
Sourdough for Starters
I am 62 years old. Is it necessary to learn something new, especially in the kitchen? For some time now I have wondered if I really wanted to invest my time, money and energy in creating and maintaining a sourdough starter. An avid baker and willing creator of yummy meals, I find the kitchen is … Continue reading Sourdough for Starters
Serving Cancer Heroes
In my years serving alongside my husband in the role of “THE PASTOR’S WIFE,” I will never forget words spoken to a young, beautiful mom fighting for her health and yet, suffocating in the pain and misery of cancer and its brutal treatment! Back home after a hospital stay, she was feeling weary and worn. … Continue reading Serving Cancer Heroes
Caveat lector: Let the Reader Beware!
This may be a bit gross for some prim and proper people, but I feel it must be said! There is such relief in successfully blowing snot out of your nose, whereby you are able to breathe, and your air passages feel cleared out, and your head feels ten pounds lighter. But shockers of all … Continue reading Caveat lector: Let the Reader Beware!
A NEW WORK OF LOVE
Last month, as we began a new year (2025), I felt the Lord nudging me in a direction that felt uncomfortable. “Lord, I am not sure about this. It is not anywhere near what I would call my “comfort zone.” Sometimes where He takes us may just be to test us or to show us … Continue reading A NEW WORK OF LOVE
Alive and Thriving in ’25!
As another year unfolds, my pledge for a healthy body: eating healthy, fasting and prayer provides a great focus (sugar/dairy fast); Yet this year my greatest alive and thriving focus will be a healthy MIND! An alive and thriving mind! I love books! I am always on the hunt for another good read, a beautiful … Continue reading Alive and Thriving in ’25!
A Comfortable Life
As I consider a new year focus, I know without a doubt God’s Word is front and center. There is no other choice for me as God’s representative. I am a Herald of the King, an ambassador. As God’s chosen instrument to herald the gospel message of Jesus Christ, I must consider how I can … Continue reading A Comfortable Life
