If grace had a face, we would see it every day.It shows itself in moments and in the simplest ways. A baby’s smile, a cashier who’s so sweet,a Pastor who preaches, and teachers who teach. A Mama who hugs on her babies so much,the lady at church with the gentlest touch. Or how about the

Coat of Fears and Woe
Her heart broke as the tears flowed,her coat had been heavy to wear.She’d carried it long but was giving up,not sure how much more she could bear. At last she cried out, “I just can’t go on,it is all too heavy for me!”and that’s when she felt a warm embrace and heard the words that would
He Wakes Me
He wakes me in the morning,waiting…waiting…waiting…on me. He wonders… Will I think of Him?Will I trudge down the hall to get coffee?Will I turn on the phone and start to scroll?Will I watch other’s lives, ooh and aah, roll my eyes at crazy people?Will I turn on the computer and grimace at my inbox?Will I
Let’s Get Lit
Wow, 40 years ago, that phrase had a whole different meaning! Lol. But we won’t go there, we’ll go here instead… please read on! I hope your new year has started off better than you could have hoped! I don’t know about you but my resolutions went out the window on about January 4th when
Save Those Cards!
Every year, I get excited going to the mailbox to see what Christmas cards I’ve gotten, and I love displaying them in our home. But after Christmas, it is so hard to bring myself to throw them away! Someone thought of me to send it… but what do I do? This video contains five easy
A Little Bit of Christmas

Regardless and Forever
Below is a story I am entering in my first ever writing contest. I want to challenge myself ! We were given a required word count along with a prompt which is – someone wakes up on a train with no idea how they got there, no ticket, and it doesn’t appear to be stopping.
Gentle Giant
Sort of a rambling here but you know me. I was sitting on my porch this week watching it rain, listening, and it sounded so beautiful. If you love rain like I do, you’re a Pluviophile like me! That’s my new word this week. Anyway, I was sitting there thinking about a dozen things I
Story in the Glass
The sun is coming through the blinds and she can tell it’s morning. Her head hurts. She lays there trying to open her eyes until eventually she is staring at the ceiling of this room that has become her solace. It is a wreck with stored boxes of an old life scattered everywhere and a
Stairway to Heaven
This story came to me recently out of the blue, as most things do, and I had to get it on paper. The church I describe in the story is my home church where I grew up and spent many years building memories as a child and teenager. It is a place I cherish. The
Yesterday’s tomorrow.
I wish we could stop growing up. Well, I don’t mean die, I just mean stop growing up as in older. Wouldn’t it have been awesome to have had a pause button to press at the best parts of our life so we could linger there longer? Wow. And the rules said we only had
