I was out walking along the river one day late last fall; it was an unusually warm day, and I definitely had dressed too warm! I slipped my shoes off and stuck my feet into the water to cool off a bit. WOW!! Now, that is what I call refreshing!  As I was strolling along the water’s edge, I was Read More

Recently I was visiting with my nephew about teaching him to sew on a button or hem a pair of pants, and what a valuable skill that is.  In fact, many of us will not buy clothing if the fit is not perfect – if the pants or the sleeves are too long because we don’t have the skill to Read More

I went for a walk this afternoon and there were several ladies walking around praying.  I looked around, trying to find an area where I could be alone.  I spotted a path with only one other person on it.   As I walked, I began to tell the Lord of my love for Him and to invite Him to do as He wills in Read More

“If God is sovereign, why pray?”  This is a question I have pondered over the past few months.  Like me, you may have prayed for something, really believed it was God’s will….

Okay, I’m going to confess; I’m one of those people that will read the end of the story before I read the whole book. When Jerry (my husband) and I are watching a movie together and he has seen it before, I ALWAYS ask him; how does it end. I want to know if it has a happy ending or not. I do Read More
