At times we feel annoyed, and then there are times my husband and I are totally maddened! Living in the country especially during the summer months, the gnats torment us with every outside endeavor. We feel as though a remnant of the plagues of Egypt is visiting us. 😉 Nevertheless, we have found an even … Continue reading Celebratory Fast “Take 3”

Celebratory Fast “Take 2”
Summer classes began today at the college where my husband is on staff and serves as part of the faculty as well. And as I mentioned in my previous post, my Wedding Anniversary is at the end of the month and my husband declared his desire to participate in a “fast” leading up to the … Continue reading Celebratory Fast “Take 2”
A Celebratory Fast
A couple of cool facts about the month of June which you undoubtedly know. The longest day of the year occurs on either June 21st or 22nd. June is known as a great month to get married. And so, we did! I thought it would take a much longer time to reach this many years … Continue reading A Celebratory Fast
The Rib
I was fed up! As we sat before the counselor, I poured out what I had stored up, “Surely I’m not responsible for him. I do not have to be his helper, right? He needs to put out the effort, doesn’t he?!” And as the counselor reaffirmed my line of reasoning, I knew in my … Continue reading The Rib
The “Scarlett” Letter, Part 2
So I got the guy BUT (there is that dreaded word; if you missed it, see The “Scarlett” Letter, part 1) we had no idea what we were up against! The truth is “Happily-ever-after” only comes from self-sacrificing, selfless love, the type Christ had when He laid down His life for the sins of the … Continue reading The “Scarlett” Letter, Part 2
The “Scarlett” Letter
On October 28, 1980, I received the letter. It was folded several times and pinned to the bulletin board hanging outside my dorm room. I quickly noticed it had been written at 3 in the morning because not only was the date scribbled down but also the time of writing. The writer actually jotted out … Continue reading The “Scarlett” Letter
“NOT THROWING IN THE TOWEL”!
My freshman year of college was exciting but yet terrifying for a small-town girl. You can say I was definitely out of my comfort zone! Like when Dr. Hugley asked me to pray at the start of Missions class! You mean, out loud so the whole class can hear?!! I know he called on me … Continue reading “NOT THROWING IN THE TOWEL”!
Another Year, Another Birthday!
August 24 is here again! And that means time to honor my dear hubby as we celebrate his BIRTHDAY! No better way to celebrate him than to share the character of the man that existed in our early years of marriage (1982-'87). Who chooses a wife to feed when you are about to embark on … Continue reading Another Year, Another Birthday!
A Little Bundle!
The sought after adventure of becoming Mrs. Rodney Phillips became a roller-coaster ride for a small-town girl more than she could have ever imagined. Leaving home and family in the south and moving to the gray skies of the north brought a great deal of isolation and loneliness. And just two months after turning 20 … Continue reading A Little Bundle!
Chadwick, Who?
“It’s a girl,” the doctor announced; How exciting to hear our prayers had been answered! Yet, who knew the whirlwind adventure that would be ours when this little bundle of life was gifted to us, and a whole week early, not to mention it was Labor Day! God did, and He certainly had a well-designed … Continue reading Chadwick, Who?
