Hello, friends! It’s a new day, day 10 of this new year. God’s mercies are new every morning, so they’re new again today! I wonder how God will redeem yesterday’s failures for His glory? It’s humbling to come face to face with our humanity, with our weaknesses and mistakes. People talk about redeeming themselves, but… Read More New Day #2
Have you ever invited someone to your house for a meal, to a party, or to do something special with you, and they said no? Or maybe they said yes, but then didn’t show up? How did you feel? I know I accidentally did not show up once, years ago, and our poor friend must… Read More Day 153- Thankful that God invites us all
Friday I found out that I have swimmers ear; who knew? The doctor was a little puzzled (yes, I was actually seen in clinic!) because this is not the usual season for swimmers ear, and also, there was no apparent oozing that should accompany the condition. But, if you’ve been following me for a while,… Read More Day 150- Thankful for medical workers, humorous moments 🙂 , and order
Do you ever get discouraged because it seems like you are not important? Truth be told, most people probably feel that way at some time in their life. I’ve been there, too, and still hear that little lying “voice” in the back of my mind once in a while. When I came back from France… Read More Day 88 Thankful for the value and importance of one
This year at the last rally at International Student Convention (as I explained here,) we had an amazing speaker named David Ring. In his words, his journey has been that of cerebral palsy, but his story is: “I am blessed!” The way God has worked in and through his life is amazing! Normally people with CP… Read More David Ring, serving God with Cerebral Palsy

Perhaps it is a friend, a spouse, a neighbor,… Read More Open Letter to a Loved One – when misunderstandings happen
I remember as a child waking up one night with the poison ivy on my leg itching like crazy! I crept quietly through the dark to the medicine cabinet where I knew I would find the poison ivy aerosol spray. Still in the dark, I grabbed it and began spraying it on the poison ivy. … Read More Turn on the Light! Mistakes made in the dark
In my last post we left Jesus in the wilderness being ministered to by the angels. After this, we briefly see Him and His disciples at the river again, baptizing more disciples than John. And wouldn’t you know it? The Pharisees had a problem with that! Boy they sure did start on Him early! He… Read More Who Jesus Values – Sychar Lesson
This year, I suffered 3+ months of a nightmare as far as my eyesight was concerned. My husband got a new vision insurance, so we went to a new place to get our vision needs met. The eye doctor there talked me into getting progressive lenses instead of the trifocals that I requested. He said… Read More Distorted Vision – Clear Vision
This morning I played a piano solo at church. With God’s help it turned out pretty well, although I made a few mistakes. But I kept on going. I couldn’t just stop playing because I made a mistake. I mean how crumby would that be, to get everyone’s hopes up to hear some music by… Read More Don’t Give Up
