So, my petite posse, Robin, Chloe and Anne came to pick me up chez Gigi, and they took a walk around her lovely home, and spent a few minutes chatting with her. If you read the comments on my last post, Anne said we stayed just long enough for Grady the cat to hiss her …

Well, I think I’m ready to write about my trip to San Francisco, now.. Because it was such a monumental experience, that I’m afraid if I don’t get busy and write about it, it will fade into oblivion. This trip was originally planned strictly for pleasure, but (thank Him!) God’s ways are not my ways, …

So much has happened that I really want to post about, and each deserves a separate post. I had a vacation with some of my very best gal pals in San Francisco. I spent several days just being with a friend who is mourning the loss of her 19 year old dear son. I watched …

So, as I was saying,(please see the prior blog entry of the Girl Scout Camping Extravaganza) Jennifer comes in the tent and says, “Gary (the site director says that the road into camp is flooded. No one can get out, and no one can get in. He says that the Army Corps of Engineers is …

Have you ever had a deep sense of foreboding about something coming up, and then as events begin to unfold, you found out that it was so much worse than you ever dreamed it would be? (If I were writing this on the Sonlight Forums, I would have just used the emoticon of the little …

Have you ever realized, after the fact, that you had been given a test, and you failed it? I have. I failed one on Sunday. With all my posting on the psalms, with all my love of God’s Word, I expect more of myself than what I am about to reveal in the following incident. …

Are you old enough to remember that old commercial? Picture a bunch of young fresh faced hippies on a mountain top, singing a catchy little ditty. Begin swaying. Pop open a frosty bottle of Coke, and sing along. OK, everybody back from your Coke break? I hope you paid special attention to that phrase, “perfect …

My friend Lisa Bevill is struggling with a monster that is attempting to suck the joy and peace from her life, by striking out at her health. This monster is known as Lyme Disease, and she is not the only friend I have who is suffering from it. But I also have other friends who …

Today’s post really piggybacks onto Monday’s post, “Never Give In”, so not to discourage you from reading this one if you HAVEN’T read that one, but I think what I want to say today will be more meaningful to you if you have read and meditated on the first half of Psalm 132. Just sayin’. …

“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.” Oh, I love that famous quote, by Winston Churchill, describing our family’s vacations…. OK, I’m sort of kidding, but I was pondering …

Have you ever done a little act of kindness, and then hoped that God would use your little effort somehow? I want to tell you a story today about how a kindness done for someone else had a ripple effect that had an impact on me personally in a very real way. I love this …

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to a friend from the Sonlight forums who lost her husband to a cardiac arrest yesterday. My heart is broken for you. You have been on my mind all day yesterday since I heard you were at the hospital, and all day today as I learned the news …

I am just worn out with the turmoil. Because lately, the inside of my brain has been feeling a lot like this: I am worn out with arguments. Worn out by the incessant, never ending torrent of words that flood from the fingertips and/or mouths of a few. Whether it’s a religious/doctrinal issue, or a …

Maybe death really does come in threes. Our story begins back in Athens, GA, in 1977, and not when Harry met Sally, but when the Big Bison met Tracy, while both were attending the University of Georgia. Tracy, our dear faithful friend through the years, who ended up being the best man at our wedding. …
