When you feel like you don’t belong.
I saw her as I was walking down the beach. She sat all alone in the surf. I'm sure mom was close by, keeping an eye on her child. But you could look at this picture and think the child was truly all alone. That there...
To whom I belong…5 minute Friday
Five Minute Friday is being hosted by Crystal this week. Today's prompt: BELONG Go... It was a sunny June day. We sat in the big conference room. My husband and me and what seemed like 25...
What I’m reading…
During June I spent a lot of time in the car - we drove from our home in eastern Pennsylvania to Utah and southern Colorado and back. LOTS of hours in the car. Then I flew to visit my mom, my plane had issues and we were delayed...
Music Monday…
I'm travelling today - returning home from a visit with my mom. Thought I would share a song with you. When Amy died 22 years ago, I listened to a lot of Christian music. It brought me through the darkest of days. During that...
Bread and wine….
I was trying to remember where I got this book. I did not pay for it - meaning I cannot find it in my Amazon purchase history - yet I did not get it in exchange for a review. So, I think I must have received it in my...

Michelle DeRusha, Deidra Riggs & Me at Relevant (Allume) 2011 I first met Michelle DeRusha online then I had the privilege of meeting her in person at Allume in October 2011. I have admired her writing, her humor, her...
When a flat tire reminds me of a lesson
This was the scene yesterday afternoon. I was sitting on the side of Interstate 80 in Iowa. With a flat tire. It was 5:45 p.m. We left home at 4 a.m. yesterday morning. 4:07 a.m. to be exact. We had an 18 hour drive...
When rest is elusive, the Sabbath is calling…
This is today's quote on a perpetual calendar I have on my desk. The second line says, "It's about understanding that each item on our to-do list is part of a goal, a vision. Even when it's not fun. Or seemingly important...the bigger...
When the voice that speaks the loudest is the one we hear
The Police sang a song about a message in a bottle. Nicholas Sparks wrote a novel by the same name. Did you see this story about the snorkelers in Australia? Their boat broke anchor and floated away. They were stranded and wrote SOS...
