When I was twelve years old, my dad lost the job he’d had for over twenty years. He was 52 years old. He was a nervous guy, and I inherited that trait from him. During those days, he worked on claiming the promises of scripture. He kept Isaiah 41:10 on a 3×5 card in his …
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 …
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. ~ 1 Samuel 18:1 On October 9, my very first best friend died. Just like that, she has gone into …
This morning I read some very good Bible verses that encouraged me so much. I began to write about them, because sharing God’s Word is always a good idea. But things happened. A good friend of our family went to Heaven last Sunday morning. Of course, my heart broke upon hearing the news, but I …
If you read my blog, you know I love to read. It’s probably my favorite hobby. Sometimes, though, I can’t read because I know as soon as I sit down, I’ll doze off. (I hate that!) Yesterday, after church, I knew I’d better keep moving or I’d fall asleep. I’ve been meaning to organize my …
We finally endured something that we’ve been dreading for about a year now. A good family in our church, with five children, moved to Oklahoma this last weekend. It’s been particularly hard on my son. He has so enjoyed having three boys to play with! Lauren is taking it hard, but not as hard as …
My little boy is at the getting-into-anything-that’s-not-nailed-down stage. He recently pulled out an old photo album from the cabinet where I keep them. Someone (one of the other children?) put it on the kitchen table, opened. I couldn’t resist taking a walk down memory lane. Wanna join me? I took photos of some of the …
I’m a bit behind on posting photos of my family. Rather than write seven different blog posts to catch up, I thought I’d just combine them all into one. I hope you enjoy them. Thanks for indulging me as I share about my favorite people! Matthew enjoyed “typing” when the little girls set him at …
I’ll never forget the peaceful mornings I spent at home as a child. I remember my Dad coming in to wake me up for school, leaning down in my face to say in a whisper, “Wake up, sleepy head! It’s time to get up.” I could smell the coffee on his breath and was a …
I wanted to share the following video of my home pastor, Bro. Ken Graham, and his wonderful family. This family means so much to me, I can’t even really think of adequate words to write about them. And if Bro. Graham ever reads this, he won’t believe that I couldn’t think of something to say! …
