As we drive home from a wonderful Labor Day weekend trip, where my fast was mostly observed 😉, I write and reminisce! Given that my treasured Louisiana friend became my Sweet Home Alabama friend, I have missed seeing her each excursion homeward where I grew up. We calculated the days since seeing her last and … Continue reading A Banner of Friendship
Abiding, Part 3
Shortly after buying our present home, we began clearing the backyard of weeds and brush left in their natural habitat along with the many pine trees.

After removing some of the pines, I watched with great … Continue reading Abiding, Part 3
Abiding, Part 2
With children going back to school, parents may have some concerns. Will their child’s teacher be patient, caring, and honest? Will the teacher be wise in assessing the true gift of their child? Will truth be the loudest voice in the classroom? As a mother and grandmother, I understand these concerns. And even as a … Continue reading Abiding, Part 2
No Deadheads Here!
For this reason it says,“Awake, sleeper,And arise from the dead,And Christ will shine on you.” Ephesians 5:14 Did I even sleep? One things for sure, flying this early and lack of sleep sure can create cranky behavior! I certainly was feeling cranky as I rose at 2:15 AM. So after my first cranky words escaped from … Continue reading No Deadheads Here!
Abiding
In 2018, I added a small Lady Banks Rose Bush to my garden with the hopes of seeing it, one day, cover the top of my fence! Through the years since, I have cut off new shoots that seemed to be going nowhere and trained others to grow resting on the fence. A couple of … Continue reading Abiding

My Nephew & The Line UP!
Hearing from my nephew in prison or getting an update through my sister (his mother), I never tire of hearing what amazing work the Lord is accomplishing. However, there are those times when I fall on my face crying out for God’s great hand of protection or deliverance even from a line up. Those are … Continue reading My Nephew & The Line UP!
BE HUMBLE & KIND
Indubitably, the little phrase, “be patient with all men” (1 Thessalonians 5:14c, NASB) was put in the Bible just for me! Even though my husband and I are approaching our 42nd Wedding Anniversary, the Lord continues for the googolth time, to point me in the direction I find hardest to climb: the pinnacle of patience … Continue reading BE HUMBLE & KIND
Ill-Equipped to Wed
What thoughts run through your head when you think of the month of June? Weddings come to my mind! Mostly, because it was in this wonderful month of the year that I pledged to take an ill-equipped 21-year-old as my husband. I use the word, ill-equipped, because he had no idea how his parade was … Continue reading Ill-Equipped to Wed
