When I was in college, one of our sorority sisters announced one morning at breakfast that her mother had always told her, “One is not considered a grown up until she learns to drink coffee.” Well, I made it through college and a good part of my early adult life without drinking or liking coffee.

…and the chaos was ordered

For quite some time I have been agonizing because I lost my Bible sometime in the Spring. I don’t know what day it happened because I had been using a smaller Bible for referencing some things and study. I don’t know why I was using that one at that time other than the fact that [...]
Simple Abundance

It’s 2:45 a.m. and I’m awake – so very awake. This happens frequently when SB is out of town and let’s just say I’ll be glad when he gets home so I can go back to nights of peaceful, easy feelings. You know the kind of feelings like resting your head on a cool pillow. [...]

Psalm 126 (The Message)
A Pilgrim Song
1-3 It seemed like a dream, too good to be true, when God returned Zion’s exiles.
We laughed, we sang,
we couldn’t believe our good fortune.
We were the talk of the nations—
”God was wonderful to them!”
God was wonderful to us;
we are one happy people.
4-6 And now, God, do it again—
bring rains to [...]

“The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever…” Psalm 138:8
I am waiting in anticipation of God this morning. No, I’m not wanting to take over his job of orchestrating my life. Been there. Done that.
What I mean is simply that I’m navigating the waters of waiting on Him for [...]
Finding Comfort

This morning when I got out of bed, I got down on my knees. It’s something I’ve been doing recently through a Beth Moore Bible study on the Psalms of Ascent. But today, I felt particularly drawn DOWN. I began my prayers with thanksgiving for another day and for another breath. Sometimes it’s the more [...]
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty

A couple of Saturdays ago, Little Brown Light Ministries and I led a christian women’s conference in Noxubee County, MS. I was a little nervous about this particular conference – although I clearly hear and feel and see God opening opportunities like these for me. Noxubee County is SB’s home turf, so imagine my knees quaking [...]

A good friend of mine’s Golden Retriever is my Sadie’s boyfriend. “Yancey” hasn’t been doing so well this week and we’re not sure of the final outcome as to Yancey’s quality of life. But bless him, he IS about 15 years old. So, it’s a little bit of an uncertain day, because he’s a good [...]
The man has no place to turn

Late yesterday afternoon SB announced he wanted to go to the grocery with me. Huh?
I looked at him with a questionning eye of, “You’ve GOT to be kidding!” But no, he was quite insistent that we load up and go together. It’s not like we were in a sports car with the roof down holding [...]
When it all comes together

I sure do love a good plan. Even more so is when the plan seems to, you know, be like jello. It may take a little while and there can be a whole lot of wiggling around during the process. But when it all comes together – it’s finally ready and delicious! [...]
