One of the most alarming sights to behold is the wolf entering the camp! I run as fast as my little sheep feet will carry me, fearful I won’t be in time…closer, closer, as close as I can climb…near to the Good Shepherd! Unfortunately, that felt way too close. In fact, since beginning my fasting … Continue reading Running to the Good Shepherd

The Coolest and Most Fun “over the river and through the woods” Excursion
Our Newport grands have each taken turns staying at Gram and Pop’s house. The older two visited last year (2024) at different times, while the third and youngest of the three (7 years old) came for several days at the end of last month leading into April (2025).

These Days, what are you Digesting?
I live in a parched land. My soul grows increasingly thirsty. I turn to one pursuit after another for my emptiness to be filled, my thirst quenched, my longing met. These activities can be shallow, empty or even sin-induced behaviors. Whether they be senseless browsing of the internet or reading or watching content that does … Continue reading These Days, what are you Digesting?

Awe struck wonder and amazement describe, in part, my experience for the last seven days on this journey of a fresh vision of God – 40 Day Fast to Easter!

An avid baker and willing creator of yummy meals, I find the kitchen is … Continue reading Sourdough for Starters
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!
2025
January 1 "O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with … Continue reading 2025
A Beautiful Christmas: Even with Failing Lights
Christmas is the most beautiful time of the year! A beauty I attempt to reproduce in every part of my world. Yet, I fall short time and time again because “I” try to reproduce something that is superficial and smallminded. Since realizing my desire for more than the trivial from Christmas, my prayer is for … Continue reading A Beautiful Christmas: Even with Failing Lights
