Farewell, my Gracie……

We knew it was coming.  We didn’t want to think about it, but we had to. She had cancer all through her little body.
Gracie came into our family about 13 years ago.  It was before Erin and Brody  left home, before any grandchildren had been born.  She was my baby.  She was strong willed, spoiled [...]

So, this is one of my favorite trees, right outside our front door.  I love the green and that it changes [...]

One year blogaversary….

It’s been an entire year for me blogging.  Brody asked why I didn’t start a blog and I said…..”Hmmmmm, maybe I can.”
Honestly, it has been the best thing for me.  I have so enjoyed writing down my thoughts and feelings.  It has been rewarding and thought provoking, but most of all I have met some [...]

I know we are all blessed..  I know things at times can be so hard and life can be a struggle.  I struggle with sin daily, I complain about nothing and realize I have nothing to complain about.  Today, this morning, in that hour, I felt truly blessed.
Now, before I begin here, I feel led [...]

He is a prayer partner, a guide and confidant…He truly knows my me.
He is Dr. James Wolf.  He has been [...]
