Good Report





Today we received good news when I took my husband, Tom, to the podiatrist.  The doctor seemed surprised his toe is healing so fast after such a mean infection.  He still needs a few follow up appointments for minor issues, but we felt relieved to get high marks!

Tom thanks you for your prayers and I thank you, too, friends for your kind words and encouragement.  It meant the world to me!



 But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up with wings like eagles;
They shall run and not be weary;
They shall walk and not faint.  Isa 40:31





And the winner is…

Tonight we drew a winner for Cheryl Smith’s new book, Biblical Minimalism featured on my last blog post.  Tom drew Cindy’s name from Cindy’s Creations.  Congratulations, Cindy!  It will be on its way to you soon!


Thank all of you who read my blog posts.  I enjoy reading your every comment.  Your insights and opinions are welcomed and appreciated!

    I'm sooo glad to have a chance to log in Blogger now. I wouldn't want to miss this "good news"!!! Glory be to God Who hears and answers our prayers. Continuing to lift you guys up in my prayers and for bro. Tom's continued healing and strength for you sister Mary.

    I read the precious post and congratulations to the winner! That sounds like an awesome and very timely book from sister Cheryl. A good reminder that nothing last here and we truly must assess our lives on what or Who has a hold on us? Things here or that of the Lord's? Since resigning from my work back in 2015, I had learned to slow down and day by day, the Lord has been putting it into my and my family's hearts to simplify everything. How true that when we empty ourselves, with God, we gain much more!

    "Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit." - 3 John 1:2

    Love and prayers to you always sister Mary... God bless and protect you and your family!

Spiritual Sundays ~ Flamboyant Love

I was shopping for a birthday card during my lunch hour last week when I overheard an elderly woman in the card aisle talking to her niece, a woman about my age. Here is what she said: “ I threw out all my cards. They never meant those words anyway .” Lots of laughter followed. How sad I thought to be unable to receive the love sent to her in the sentiments of a card. This incident got me thinking about the love of God and resolving to embrace it when it is offered to me. It doesn’t matter if I think I’m worthy of such extravagant love; He thinks so! In contrast, just a day later I received one of those gorgeous hand-crafted cards in the mail from my friend, Kay, who loves paper crafting. It was so pretty and love and joy just oozed out of it when I opened it. This is a sample of her designs at Creativity is Good. Kay wrote a beautiful note to me in the card reminding me of God’s tender love for me. She ended her thoughts with “The God of the universe loves us more than we can ever f...

Holiday Movie Comes to Life

It’s uncanny when a new holiday movie comes out and resembles your personal life.   I came clean to my husband on that drive to the Harkins in Sedona confessing that the movie got bad ratings.   It isn’t the type of movie that he would choose to see in the first place.   Rotten Tomatoes gave it one star.   My prince charming replied:   “ Let’s see what we think of it and rate it ourselves.”   Yes!   High five to his palm! It started out as a fun afternoon date.   It would have been perfect if the lady directly in front of me didn’t have on super-strength perfume.   Smells can be troublesome when you’re prone to headaches.   I stuck my head in a big bucket of buttered popcorn; you know-- to alleviate her fragrance, because popcorn smell is less offensive.   What else is a girl like me to do? We named the genre “drama with comedy.”   Cast of characters acted like the typical family scene at Christmas tim...

Abba's Lap

I noticed a behavior pattern in little Amy, twenty months old, that I want to imitate.  She moves fast engaging in one toddler activity after another spinning like a whirlwind from one room to another.  Yet, she pauses,  intermittently , long enough to get refreshed.   I want to be like this grandchild of mine because she knows where to go and how to get comforted. Amy moves at record speed, putting more miles on a pedometer in one hour than my accumulated weekly workouts at the gym.  She can build a skyscraper so tall, I wonder why those bright pink Lego’s don’t topple to the ground as she continues to stack just one more piece on top. I learned never to leave the room to get another cup of coffee.  Once, when I returned, I found her climbing past the couch with hands and feet reaching for the living room drapes. She has a consistent habit that I admire.  In the midst of her activities, as she moves robustly from one play...
