There is Definitely a Time for Everything
Yes, 2019, there is a season for everything. I became ill last week and was told I had a double ear infection, sinus infection and throat infection. I had no idea all of that could happen at once, but it did. Two days later I woke up and immediately thought, I’m not...
One Word for 2019
2018 was filled with the good and the bad. I am just grateful that all the good came the last half of the year. It has been a fantastic Thanksgiving/Christmas season and I hate to start this week because it will all be over too soon. I am glad that my One Word,...

Is it really December? I have decorated my home, I’m listening to Christmas music and when there is a craft show I am one of the first ones in line, but how did the year go so quickly? Before our move in June I never imagined that December would come. It seemed a...
PTSD Will Not Define Us
My seventh-grade son, Caeleb, is the new kid in a small, rural community where everyone has grown up together, so it’s hard to fit in and make friends. He comes home most days with a tale of mistreatment or insensitive comments directed at him. It breaks my heart, but...
Giving Thanks
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Cooking a feast for my family brings me great joy. Before we bless the food, we go around the table and share something that we are thankful for in our life. It is a time that I cherish as I hear the men in my life share from the...
