When I was a teenager, I had troubles getting to sleep at night, and I… Read More Day 201- Thankful for favorite verses
When Ravi Zacharias passed away last month, this world lost an amazing man, a true servant of God. He spoke not only to the heart, but to the mind.

Today I reached the kitchen door, and what a funny sight met my eyes!

Today he mentioned that hydrogen and oxygen are highly flammable gases, but joined together in a ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom, they make a substance that extinguishes fire. (H2O = water) He explained a… Read More Day 196- Thankful for Lessons from H2O
This morning my daughter and I had to get up early for a trip to a new physical therapist that specializes in treating TMJ. She had been scheduled for a Zoom consultation, but when they found out that we live in a different state, we had to reschedule for a face-to-face visit.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, Mandisa’s “Way Maker” was on auto repeat in my mind until late last night. Then I started thinking about another song she sings.

The last few days I’ve had the song “Way Maker”, by Mandisa, running through my head over and over again.

The part… Read More Day 192-Thankful for the Way Maker
A few days ago I went with my family to a large lake to go “fishing”. We didn’t catch any fish, but I caught some beautiful memories via photography.
