B-U-S-Y. It's one of my least favorite four-letter words. No matter where you look, people are busy. And the typical answer when asking someone you haven't seen for a while how they've been, is "Busy." People are busy. Work is busy. Life is busy. Everything and everyone is busy. We're busy at work and then… Continue reading My Least Favorite Four-Letter Word

Thankful Thursday – The Lives and Health of My Boys
I clearly remember the phone call I received from my 16-year-old son while I was nearing the end of a workday. "Mom, I saw someone shot. They aren't moving. Mom, there's so much blood." And the line went dead. I attempted to call him back immediately, my fingers numb and not even feeling the… Continue reading Thankful Thursday – The Lives and Health of My Boys

Autumn--even the word is beautiful, not to mention pleasing to all five senses. It conjures up images of evening lamplight, candle flames flickering and dancing on walls of rooms darkening a wee bit earlier each evening, the scents of food cooking in the crockpot, fresh stewed tomatoes canning, and the smells of cinnamon and nutmeg. Autumn… Continue reading Thankful Thursday — Autumn & New Beginnings
Reclaiming the Carefree Days of Summer
Watching two of my young grandchildren play with such complete abandon in the pre-summer afternoon sunshine last Saturday, I longed for the days when summer was unhurried, unstressed, and carefree. The days when summers weren't defined by days spent within office walls watching the clock. Or when the most beautiful scenery wasn't my computer screensaver. I watched my… Continue reading Reclaiming the Carefree Days of Summer
Honoring All Fathers
For all of the fathers, old and new, step-fathers, fathers-in-law, grandfathers, and even uncles...never underestimate the role you play in the lives of children, young and grown. May God, our Father, bless you on this day, YOUR day, to do what brings you joy, rest or play, and for those of us who have been… Continue reading Honoring All Fathers
