Books for the babes, blog for the Body!
DISCLAIMER: I am in no way claiming to be a prophet. I have no ability to see or predict the future, and I can't even take credit for the words I publish in my blog. I firmly believe the Lord challenged me to start this blog. I believe he wanted me to share what I've... Continue Reading →
As I looked at the boxes and the chair piled high, my eyes grew wide. My friend said she had some books to get rid of, but I didn’t know she had that many! There are two things that give me great excitement (not including my family), collecting plants and collecting books! My heart swelled... Continue Reading →
Breaking Out Mom and I were mingling in a hotel hallway with several other people. In the middle of the hallway, a white pickup was parked. Mom and I jumped into the pickup, her behind the wheel which was on the right hand side of the pickup, as in Australia. I was on the left... Continue Reading →
Snoopy entered peacefully into his final hunting ground this morning, February 5, 2024. He was born December 4, 2012, and I am thankful for the good, long life he lived.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1, KJV The afternoon sun was high in the sky, making the air hot and sticky. There was a grove of trees on the west side of the field, and they were just tall enough to give me some... Continue Reading →
There has been quite a bit of time since my last blog post. For this one, I had to make absolutely sure I had the Lord's permission to share it. I believe he gave me his approval because God wants to comfort his people regarding their loved ones who are nearing death. When I experienced... Continue Reading →
