I had run out of cotton balls! Drat! I know that doesn’t sound like such a big catastrophe, but you have to understand, I use them every night to clean my face. If I run out, I have to use…. Gasp…. A kleenex or worse, toilet paper. Those items just do not work at all. … [Read more…]
Gretchen asked me recently to write a bio for the blog pages. The final question was “write one line about yourself.” Wow! I find it rather difficult to describe anyone with one line much less myself. Then I remembered something my son-in-law, Josh Hendrick, said to me one time. “I hope when I get to … [Read more…]
For years a group of my friends have joked that we were going to set up a commune and all live together in our own private community. We figured between all of us, we each had skills that could get us through life without relying on anyone else. As I read the tragic story of … [Read more…]
Listen – a verb. Give one’s attention to a sound. How many of you are driving around town with the same Christmas Carols playing over and over again? I know I am and I recently realized I was hearing them but I wasn’t listening to them. The song “Mary did you know?” came on – … [Read more…]
When I was a little girl, while all the other kids were learning John 3:16, my mom was teaching me “Get thee behind me Satan! I claim the blood of Jesus Christ.” This, of course, could have something to do with the fact that I tended to get into trouble quite a bit but mostly … [Read more…]
I am a member of Long Hollow Springfield – a satellite campus located in Springfield, Tennessee. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the whole process from the beginning. I attended meetings when it was just a dream and have gotten to watch the dream become a reality. Through it all, being located … [Read more…]
Let me preface this post with this… I do not have an age phobia. I have embraced every single birthday and I never hesitate to give my age – my REAL age. Since turning the age of 40 I’ve taken up some new hobbies (rock climbing) and done some cool stuff (skydiving). I refuse to … [Read more…]
I have a major flea phobia. I detest the little critters. Having indoor dogs, I’m on constant flea watch to the point that I think I drive my family nuts. I Frontline my dogs regularly and lament the fact that humans can’t use Frontline. On one of my flea rants, I mentioned on Facebook that … [Read more…]
I have an obsession with shirts emblazoned with quotes, sayings, funny pictures, etc. My current favorite is one says “Lettuce, Turnip, The Beet.” I get to hang with the kids in children’s choir up in Treehouse on Wednesday nights and they seem to have a fascination with my shirts (that’s been voted their favorite also). … [Read more…]
Worship—a verb, an adjective – pure, unabashed, free, God-glorifying I saw this definition on my friend’s Facebook page. You see, she would know. She’s a member of our Praise Team in Springfield. Picture this: eyes closed, hand held up, head tilted up toward heaven, expression of complete awe on her face, singing all to the … [Read more…]
