A September Dairy/Sugar Fast
In 2017 I began doing this fall fast because of stomach issues! Since that time there has been countless opportunities to share with others who were also dealing with pain and discomfort of the stomach. What a journey this has been! I am sharing seven previously written blog posts explaining why and how and so … Continue reading A September Dairy/Sugar Fast
“THE” Vine!
In 2018, I added a small Lady Banks Rose Bush to my garden with the hope 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 “THE” Vine!

September Fast – He responded!
During a fast, when I am purposely asking the Lord to show me more of Him and less of me, you never know where it will take you. One place has been to a text message my 23-year-old nephew sent me just 17 days before he died. As I read it, I could not keep … Continue reading September Fast – He responded!
September Fast: A VITAL MESSAGE
How did I get here? What led me to start a “dairy, sugar fast" in 2017? At the time I thought it was the health issues I was experiencing. But now, I know without a doubt, it was the providential hand of God. I may never fully understand His methods, but I am so grateful … Continue reading September Fast: A VITAL MESSAGE
Lost in Logic!
When we first heard the news that my sister-in-law had a rare stomach cancer and there was not much of a treatment plan, it made no sense. When she was taken to her eternal home January 24, 2021, it made no sense. When my nephew was diagnosed with Leukemia just 7 months after his mom … Continue reading Lost in Logic!
The Pool of Bethesda
My hair is a matted, unkept mess and peering into the mirror is not for the faint of heart! I am trying to remember the last time I had a shower, or even a bath! I am beginning to feel like the lame man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5). Maybe a little exaggeration … Continue reading The Pool of Bethesda
