Last week I explored five aspects of our identity according to scripture. Here is a recap: God created me in his image. Genesis 1:26-27God knew me before I was born. Jeremiah 1:5aGod wrote a book about me. Psalm 139:1-3,16God’s works are wonderful, that includes me. Psalm 139:14God delights in me. Zephaniah 3:17 I’m still in …
I have been inspired this week by all the little nudges from the Holy Spirit through various means—newsletters, songs, scriptures, devotionals, etcetera—to take a look at ME. (Or you.) To allow his words to sink-in deeply. Shall we dive in? 1) GOD CREATED ME IN HIS IMAGE. I’m sure you know the scripture, but you …
My concept of the post I was going to write was different than what I will write today. My title for this post came to me last Friday. I started looking up scripture references on hope, but I wasn’t getting the clear picture. It wasn’t until this morning when I had a Zoom call with …
Last week I shared the scripture I will be adopting as my theme for 2021, stating I wasn’t sure what one word would be the focus for me. Sunday, as I sat in church, the word became clear to me. To tell you the truth, I wanted to reject it and pick another word. The …

Out of control, that's how I'm feeling today. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm currently staying with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, having evacuated due to wildfires. I'm pretty confident my house will not burn down but the air quality was beyond breathable. Even here it is heavy with smoke. My poor dog is …
On August 30th, sometime around 10 or 11 pm, my son and his two roommates’ mobile home burned to the ground. The fire destroyed four vehicles, plus an ATV, a motorcycle and a boat. And most heartbreakingly, took the life of my son’s dog, Jaxson. When you face stormy seas I will be there with …
I’ve been married to this man for over 43 years. We have had quite a rollercoaster ride with many high highs and some difficult low lows. Our relationship has grown to be stronger through it all. I have learned that it is easier when just one of us is going through a rough patch at …
