What counts as an apology? It may be easier to define what an apology is not. Sincere remorse is not blaming the person you are apologizing to or others. It’s not making excuses and not shouting, “I’m SORRY!” to say you apologized and get the other person to shut up so you can feel betterContinue reading “WALLS”

SALT
We moved here from living in Colorado for 35 years, so a lot is new to us in the South. We thought everything grew here! We have all kinds of bugs, snakes, and pests that you can imagine. Yardwork and gardening are a challenge! By trial and error, after three years and scorching summers, we’reContinue reading “SALT”
LEGACY
Today’s youth face challenges their parents never experienced, and parents face challenges they never dreamed of.
SWEET CONSISTENCY
I genuinely believe there is no perfect person on earth. So when I see people that generally defend the truth with people they don’t know, then turn around and refuse to acknowledge the truth about someone they know, it smacks of hypocrisy. I’m thinking along the lines of abuse victims. These people will defend theContinue reading “SWEET CONSISTENCY”
LOVE
Love isn’t always what you think it should be. Sometimes it’s messy or boring. Sometimes love is lonely. Sometimes it’s loud and sometimes silent. It often grows slowly if given the chance, or it might cool a little with time. It’s a place of comfort and familiarity that defies a chaotic world. Love has yourContinue reading “LOVE”
TALK
Good Morning! Hope you’re all having a good one so far. I woke up feeling like I might be trying to “catch” something; headache and achiness. It feels like a good YouTube tutorial day. A post I read this morning reminded me that years ago I was quiet as a young person but in ChristContinue reading “TALK”
WORSHIP
I have been thinking a lot lately about what worship means to me and more importantly, what it means to God. I think He’s extremely pleased to hear the worship of His children, young and old. I love hearing the “worship team”, whether one person or a choir singing old hymns or contemporary music, butContinue reading “WORSHIP”
LOST
I was searching the house for one thing. I was going into dark corners, closets, drawers, and rooms and finding items I hadn’t seen for ages (including giant dust bunnies).I decided to sort and discard while I am there, and finally,I still need to find what I was initially looking for. How many times whenContinue reading “LOST”
RETREAT
I still remember this retreat. As I waited in line to check in after my arrival, I was behind a woman who was complaining about the wait and how the valets took her car without telling her where it was. I hoped she wasn’t going to be my roommate. I was so tired and stressed.Continue reading “RETREAT”
TRUTH
Thinking back on those times in my life when I felt so alone and didn’t know how I could possibly make it because the chaos and pain seemed too much to bear, He was there. Every moment, He was there. Protecting me, giving me strength to persevere and honor my vows; my commitments to Him.Continue reading “TRUTH”
