Most of us are good talkers. We like to share our stories and our accomplishments. We are doers and if we look at our calendars, it’s safe to say we keep busy with the “doing” all day long. In conversation with others, we are often so lost in our own thoughts, we are scarcely able […]
One of my favorite Berenstain Bears books is the one that tells the story of how Little Bear gets inside a box, gets loaded onto a truck outside, and eventually gets turned upside down. When Little Bear’s mother finds him at the end of the story, he happily announces, “Mama, mama, I was inside a […]
I grew up in a farming community called Sand Hill. We lived in an old house that sat directly across from a private saw mill, and was surrounded by rolling hills. With a little imagination you could wander out to the meadow where the blueberries grew and climb on big rocks. Those rocks often turned […]
A while back, I was honored to be inducted into the Unatego High School Hall of Distinction for my work in writing and publishing. It was a blessing to me, and gave me an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, and the community that nurtured me. I was invited to speak to a couple of […]

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6, NIV The British theologian and Baptist preacher, F.B. Meyer wrote, “We never test the resources of God until we attempt the impossible.” […]
Decisions are hard, especially when you can list the pros and cons and they seem to be nearly equal. You may know like Tevye in the story of the Fiddler on the Roof, that “on one hand, you could do this, and on the other hand, you could do that.” Neither of those options seems […]
One of my favorite songs as a young girl was called, “I love to tell the story!” It was written in 1866 by a woman named Arabella Hankey. Here are the lyrics: I love to tell the story of unseen things above, Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love; I love to […]
