LIFE”S A BEACH

I am not a sand kind of girl. Not a sun worshipper either. But I do enjoy a balcony overlooking the water, listening to the waves crashing on the beach, and the beauty of nature. I love birdwatching and sometimes there isn’t anything better than sitting and watching the pelicans fish. Their grace astounds me,…

CANCER…

There is something about that word that strikes fear into the heart of Christ Followers and Non-believers. Cancer does not care who you are and what you believe. It only cares about its survival. My Mother had colon cancer and breast cancer. Mammograms revealed cysts in her breasts for years, always nothing. Sometimes they were…

HEALTHY?

Since August last year I have been trying to lose my 19-year-old baby weight. No, not trying to get rid of the kid, just the pounds that I seem to have kept after she left my body. I guess technically I lost it, but it came back. So, after getting bored with Jenny Craig, I…

Devotions

Are you a devotional type of person? I am, have been since I was in High School. I loved reading devotions at night before I went to bed. I started buying books when I got married. Before that I used whatever the church had on hand. I love hearing what other writers have to say…

Calm Before The Storm

The east coast is preparing for a hurricane right now. Category 4 in strength, it stretches approximately 300 miles across. Frightening in its size and power. I have had a verse floating around in my head for a couple of weeks thanks to a t-shirt add on Facebook. It is not actually a verse, sounds…

Beautiful Weeping Cherry Tree

Weepy

Weeping Willows are beautiful and graceful as they blow in the wind. Weeping Cherry Trees are equally beautiful but add delicate to their description. When the wind blows, their delicate flowers float down like big snowflakes. Seasons come and seasons go. Four seasons. We all “like” certain seasons. You may be a Spring person–love all…

I borrowed a picture of the Baptist Hymnal

Hymns

Growing up in the Baptist church, I loved going thru the Hymnal. Mainly because the sermon did not interest me. I liked reading the words, not really understanding their meaning. My Mother sang Alto, her Father sang Tenor, and his Mother also sang Alto. One of our former Minister or Music, lived down the street…

Grief

Twenty-three and Eleven are not just random numbers. The first number, 23, is when I became an only child. The second number is when I became an orphan. My parents died 30 days apart and even though my Dad died in 2008, he stopped living the day my Mother died. God just granted him his…

Rain

I saw you roll your eyes at the very mention of the word, rain. I love a simple rain shower. It brings out the child buried within me. My brother and I played in the rain as kids. It was actually a storm and there were small pieces of hail mixed in with the rain.…
