While in the garage watching my grandson play his innovatively made-up game, and hidden behind my shades, I chuckle under my breath until tears roll. He’s totally oblivious to the delightful entertainment that he provides. Others might think it cruel that I am laughing at his struggles while playing these games, but just think of … Continue reading Lessons from the Grand

My Badge of Honor
I’m a drool-wearing Gram! My sleeves and jeans absorb it quite courageously. It’s flung from here to there; walking in it is highly probable. For the most part, it’s not mine! When the grandson’s 2-year-old molars decided to irrupt, they came in with a vengeance producing slobber, fever, snot and crankiness. I have found it … Continue reading My Badge of Honor
Walking into A New Year (from 2018)
How do “YOU” walk into a New Year, with thoughts of “I Can’t Do It” or “Ready, Set, Go Shine”? I believe we need to be equipped with a well charged battery pack. The first battery being the “One Day at a Time” amount, and the second, “Casting our Cares on Him” dimension. But we … Continue reading Walking into A New Year (from 2018)
A Pig’s Snout
Every excursion to the farm in Newport, North Carolina, brings an up-close adventure in pig life where the smells are strong and distasteful! Understanding the strict laws of the Jewish people concerning pigs, paints a thought-provoking picture. And so, reading Proverbs 11:22 clearly makes a Jewish person sit up and take notice. But I hope … Continue reading A Pig’s Snout
What About Me?

Two are Better Than One
Have you ever felt like posting a sign that read – Needed: a friend, but you were too scared because of the thought that no one would respond favorably? It takes a lot of courage to admit where you are on this journey. Certainly, there are seasons of life when you just feel you’ve been … Continue reading Two are Better Than One
Our Salvation is Nearer Now!
“When an English vicar was asked by a colleague what he expected after death, he replied, ‘Well, if it comes to that, I suppose I shall enter into eternal bliss, but I really wish you wouldn’t bring up such depressing subjects’” (Heaven, by Randy Alcorn). Death is something I sure NEVER wanted to talk about … Continue reading Our Salvation is Nearer Now!
A Fragile State of Repair
"...And were at their wits end. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble And he brought them out of their distress...My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!" (Psalm 107:27b-28; 108:1) Hopeless and confused, describes how I was feeling in 2015 … Continue reading A Fragile State of Repair
The Last Goodbye!
Some memories grow in perspective. Like the end of 2014! Rodney and I drove to Alabama (from North Carolina) to spend a few days with family who were driving from Louisiana to meet up with us. We were looking forward to a big Louisiana gathering for July 4th, 2015 like we had experienced in 2013. … Continue reading The Last Goodbye!
The Night We Wed!
That incredible Friday, June 26, 1981, I left the church as Mrs. Rodney Alan Phillips! I could not wait for the evening of becoming "Mr. & Mrs." and now it was a reality. The ceremony was superb from the singing to the reading of 1 Corinthians 13, The Love Chapter! With the reciting of our … Continue reading The Night We Wed!
