Have you ever been asked a question but before you can adequately answer, the person asking the question thinks they know more about what you’re going to say than you do, or they totally disagree with the beginning of your story and you are never able to make it to the end? I can’t tell … Continue reading Buttonholed

The Arrogance of It All!
I’m pretty good at reading people and situations. I believe these factors have contributed to my ability to size up situations and individuals rather quickly: Growing up in a small town, being treated unfairly at times, serving as a pastor’s wife for over 25 years, working with children since about 10 years of age, and … Continue reading The Arrogance of It All!
Face planted!
I’m thankful “I took a knee” (see blogpost: “I took a knee”) some 40 years ago while playing basketball. I’m thankful I experienced the trauma but yet, had a great coach run to my side. I’m thankful she knew what to have me do for finding my breath again. You know why? Just the other … Continue reading Face planted!
C2C, Part 8: Covering Sin
My tall, beautiful Zinnias were pounded by the rain from Hurricane Isaias. When the storm passed, I found a branch lying on the ground split from the stalk. This illustrates how sin brings death. A branch doesn’t die immediately when it’s broken off from the tree or plant that was its source of life. The … Continue reading C2C, Part 8: Covering Sin
Where Do We Turn?
We’ve been dealt a hard blow. Life has changed and it may never, ever be the same. Through a pandemic that includes a cancer journey with my sister-in-law, through loss of jobs or finances for different family members and friends, through loss of caring for grandkids (like my sister is experiencing), or possibly losing the … Continue reading Where Do We Turn?
C2C, Part 7 : The Fall
After creating the first man with the ability to choose, God informed Adam if he chose to disobey and eat from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, he would surely die (Genesis 2:17). God wanted Adam to choose to love and obey Him. Instead, Adam and Eve chose to believe a lie … Continue reading C2C, Part 7 : The Fall
C2C, Part 6 : A Suitable Companion
Before we go any further, let's review a bit. I LOVE weddings! God is a loving Father and after bringing all the animals, it was obviously painful, Adam was alone. The only time during creation that God said something was “not” good revealed man’s first need (Genesis 2:18). God made a wife for Adam, … Continue reading C2C, Part 6 : A Suitable Companion
C2C, Part 5 : Fallen from Glory
God is creator, the great planner of the universe. He brought his plan to a triumphant conclusion when he saw everything that he had made and pronounced it good. God made man and woman a “them;” “male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful and increase in number” … Continue reading C2C, Part 5 : Fallen from Glory
C2C, Part 4: God’s Creation
The task is TOO GREAT! It’s vitally important to establish key events and to fully understand how those events changed creation. So here we are hanging out with Creation to further establish our beginnings. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, PERFECTLY (Genesis 1:1). During this process, God created the spirit beings … Continue reading C2C, Part 4: God’s Creation
