Positive or Prickly?
OUCH! The prick of a cactus can draw blood in one touch of those nasty, little, sharp edges. They are dry and hard and prickly. (I don't know if that's really a word but that's the word that comes to my mind. Prickly.) On our recent trip to Arizona, we found these...
Living to Please God in our Non-Hollywood Lives
Today my mind is focused on the pollution on TV. Most every channel has something on it that is not good. Our society is running crazy with all kinds of evil and wickedness. The devil is having a “hay day”. So many shows on television are now showing new ways to...
From the Cistern to the Cross
Do you know the story of Joseph and his brothers? Joseph's brothers were very jealous of him and they plotted to kill him, take the special coat his father gave him, dip it in blood, and tell their father a wild animal had attacked him. But Reuben, one of the...
Decluttering the Squishy Things.
Another thing that keeps me from moving forward is my mind. You know the thoughts in the attic of my body? The brain. The squishy thing that allows us to function. Yep. That's right. The devil gets in my mind and makes me think all kinds of negative thoughts. And...
Break Out of Comfort

How Tight Is Your Blindfold?
Five friends. A van. And a blindfold. What a great adventure that was! Our friend was turning 50 and we took her on a scavenger hunt. The first few stops were visible. But the last one....blindfolded. Laughing and pulling the blindfold tight, we had a blast leading...
One Life To Live?
Y. O. L. O. I didn't even know what that meant. The first time I heard it, I think a Kardashian said it on some show. I figured it meant something I didn't need to know. haha Then I asked my girls and they said, "Mom. It means You Only Live Once." Hummmmm very...
If You Can’t Say Something Good…
Your coworker ticks you off, so you gather around the water cooler to vent. Your friend doesn't include you so you take to Facebook for sympathy. Your kid doesn't make the baseball team so you gather with similar parents to badmouth the coach. Your spouse doesn't help...
