“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” Isaiah 52:7 Beautiful feet! One of my favorite pictures of our grandchildren is that of just their feet. Whether there feet are wet, dry, … [Read more…]

God’s Watchful Eye
As I was traveling in my car yesterday morning, I happened to look up to the sky and there I beheld an incredible reminder of God’s watchful eye and care over us. In the sky was a cloud formation…very specific and detailed and isolated from other clouds. It was the image of a giant RIGHT … [Read more…]
My Heavenly Referee
“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come” John 16:3 Have you ever experienced a lack of peace that kept you … [Read more…]
It Happened This Morning…
At first glance this morning I noticed a difference in the Rock Garden. My white impatient flowers were all missing! Once before I had noticed this phenomenon…last year and now again. The clues all indicated a garden intruder. With trampled pine straw, chewed off Hosta leaves and missing impatient blooms, this could only mean one … [Read more…]
Protected in the Presence of the Most High
“I will sing in the shelter of Your wings.” Psalm 63:7 Isn’t that a beautiful image of security?…being in the protected presence of the Most High! Several years ago my daughter and I were involved in the choir of a large event at Vanderbilt Stadium called “America Arise.” Several hundred participants joined in a celebration … [Read more…]
A Few Good Men
A Few Good Men was a popular movie out a few years ago which featured Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and others. I’ve had “a few good men” in my life. Actually, I’d say they’re great men. Perfect? Absolutely not. Yet good doesn’t seem an adequate description, either. Any of them would be the first to … [Read more…]
Call to GO
Called to GO! I’ll never forget meeting Emily Routh for the first time in our hotel room in Ft. Lauderdale in route to Haiti. It was in the middle of the night. I took separate flights from the team due to jumping on board this trip two weeks before departure. What an adventure we were … [Read more…]
Curly Hair
I always wanted curly hair. You know the 1990s Julia Roberts curly hair. In my teen years I spent many an hour with my head leaning over the kitchen sink doing the “rinse cycle” with a head full of permed curlers. Thankfully Mom was a good “do it yourselfer” and Dad was a good sport … [Read more…]
What Happened in 1970…Didn’t Stay in 1970
How cool things seemed in 1970! As a rebellious teenager who had trouble complying with her strict parents, curfews were frequently broken. There was a new boyfriend who entered the picture my senior year who introduced me to alcohol. It escalated my rebellion, as my “little white lies” and “fibs” seemed to become more frequent … [Read more…]
I Deserve
When was the last time you thought “I deserve to be happy, to eat this, to buy that, to feel this way…” or you may have defended some action by saying “Because I wanted to”?? We all have moments when we are tempted to make choices based on selfish attitudes and wrong thinking and …stay … [Read more…]
