Tuesday, January 26th, 2010If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Recently, media outlets released Cojo’s “Best & Worst Dressed” lists for the Emmys and Golden Globes. Aren’t you glad the Original Designer — the creator and designer of Victoria Falls, Yosemite, butterflies and irises — doesn’t judge us by […]
Hairsplitting Reality
Friday, January 22nd, 2010
Recently I took on the “impossible.” No, I didn’t scale the “Cliffs of Insanity” or develop a delicious recipe for bread that would actually cause you to lose weight. What I attempted, in fact, turned out to be impossible only in perspective, not in reality.
When I was […]
No Upgrade Needed
Thursday, August 27th, 2009People’s response to technology amazes me sometimes — especially in regards to cellular devices. Waiting in line overnight to be the first to own a new iPhone. Trading in and updating cell phones as soon something better is released. Investing financially to ensure the latest and greatest […]
God in the Byline
Thursday, February 5th, 2009Along with writing articles, I write music. Many times when writing songs it’s as if God just whispers in my ear the direction the melody should take and the next set of lyrics. An hour or so later, there’s a song sketched out on a piece of notebook paper in front of me.
When it comes […]
Called to Follow
Monday, November 3rd, 2008Saturday my husband and I added insulation to our attic. He took the difficult job of being in the attic, which for the most part requires being in an army crawl position, while I loaded the blower. Needless to say, we were glad when that job was done.
In celebration, and also because we felt like […]
Beautiful Transformation
Monday, August 4th, 2008A couple of weeks ago I visited Dillon, Colorado. Of course the mountain ranges were magnificent, but on a closer level, butterflies were in abundance, gracing the area with their delicate beauty. One particular butterfly was all black with white lacy trim. It fluttered away from the trail before I could digitally capture its […]
Celebrating the Gift of Life
Friday, June 20th, 2008Within the last three weeks, I’ve known a baby to be born, a niece to graduate from high school, family members to add a year to their age, and a beloved former high school English teacher to pass away after a hard battle with cancer. Thanks to the common bound of Christianity, though, even the […]
Facing Jesus’ Claims of Divinity
Friday, May 30th, 2008Oh to be a fly on the wall when Jesus declared His divinity to the Jews of His day. Actually, I’d rather be something that was not so nasty. I guess being invisible would work. Anyway, I was reading in the Gospel of John earlier this week, and by the end of chapter 8, I […]
Appointed to break down
Monday, May 5th, 2008“In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his step” (Proverbs 16:9, NIV). Or in my case, where my car would break down.
For me, one of the greatest rewards of being a Christian has been the silent way God has placed my steps or opened doors for me to walk through […]
Doing hard things for God
Monday, April 21st, 2008Last week my husband hit the quarter of a century mark. Though I still have a few more months before bidding farewell to my early 20s, all this talk of being half way to 50 has inspired some reflection on my youth.
It’s humorous to me when I hear myself coming to realizations that are almost […]
