The peacefulness of a sleeping human is unlike anything else. You know they aren’t dead but they aren’t really in the realm of where we are standing either. Often times I like to double check everyone before turning my lights out at night. Kissing and asking God to protect them from scary dreams and lures […]

I missed you Grandma

Do you know what I learned from my grandmothers? Nothing. Not one single thing. Except for maybe the fact that they stayed with their husbands till death they parted, and I had a hand written note from one before my wedding. It was filled with marriage wisdom, and I know that the woman had so […]

Compassion is the understanding or empathy for the suffering of others. It is regarded as a fundamental part of human love, and a cornerstone of greater social interconnection and humanism. I have difficulty with compassion sometimes. I think the majority of us humans do. I think there are a lot of reasons we find to […]

I am often listening to my kid’s chatter as we do errands and go places. I say I “often” listen because, I can’t “always” listen, I have to drive and pay attention to what’s going on around us for safety reasons and such. But, I often find something really amusing when I do listen to […]

Little Book of Your Children’s Funniest Moments…

Chris and I were given a little book from an older lady years ago. She said that we were to write in it all the cute things our kids said and did, because, while we always say we will remember, we don’t. So we have been writing in what we call “the book”. Here are […]

My oldest child is 12. Her name is Maggie. Maggie Elyse to be exact. Maggie was my nickname as a girl and I let my sister choose her middle name. (with my approval of course) She chose Elyse, which is the German form of Alice. Maggie fits her name. Maggie, is not like me in […]

I was driving home just today alone. All my children allocated to various other trusted souls, and I was remembering a day I wish never happened. It was 15 minuets of fright and heartbeats beating at a high rate of speed. The month was September. The day was cloudy with high wind gusts. The year […]

Someone once said; Attempt something so great that it is doomed to fail unless God is in it! That is really scary and exciting at the same time. Attempting to do something that is bigger then me? How many times do I shrink back and away from doing something extraordinary or impossible because I know […]

Doctor Patches

I have come up with a new invention for humans to waste time and money on! There are patches for lots of different types of clubs out there, so how about we have patches for what we have survived thru? Instead of people having to ask about our health or knowledge, it could be right […]

I love wind chimes. It doesn’t matter if they are hollow pieces of bamboo clinking or strong metal pipes. They are beautiful. They tell me things when I am in the house. I can watch them move or hear them sing and dance. Their only job is to move with the unseen motion of the […]

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. Did you know that the word gospel means “good news”? (I was telling Chris the other day, that he might find me using the word gospel when I had some good news, just to make conversation more interesting.) I try my hardest to live for Jesus […]
