Laci is wanting to learn sign language. When she pulled this book off the shelf, it brought back a host of memories. It’s just a basic book on American sign language. I bought it at a Brentano’s store in the mall in Little Rock many moons ago. (Yes, I’m showing my age. For you young …
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. ~ Psalm 51:12 One of my earliest memories is my “labor to enter into rest”. (Heb. 4:11) I had heard our pastor, Bro. Glenn Riggs, preach about “calling out to God” and “praying and asking Jesus into your heart”, so …

I am hurriedly trying to get my “end of the year” posts finished, that’s why I’ve done three in one day. Sorry for the overload! 🙂 Here’s the list of books I read in 2012. My goal was to read 40, and I surpassed that goal. I’m pleased considering that many of them were over …
Well, 2012 is nearly done. I always spend time in December reflecting on the past year and planning for the one to come. I am a planner, by nature. I love lists. I love to jot things down as I think of them and I love organizing things. I like schedules, too. I thought I’d …
Hot Springs holds a special place in my heart. I was born in the lovely “Spa City” thirty–some years ago. Neither my mom nor my dad were born in Hot Springs. My dad grew up in Conway, and my mom was raised in Batesville. My parents’ moved out to Colorado Springs, Colorado, as soon as …
I haven’t had time to edit any photos for a post today, but I’ve gotten in such a habit of posting lately, I wanted to write something. I first started my blog (by a different name) almost five years ago. It was a great way to connect with other like-minded women and keep in touch …
