Kindness Act Day Four!
"I miss Mayberry. Sittin' on the porch drinkin' ice cold cherry coke." *Lyrics to "Mayberry" by Rascal Flatts Man, how I miss those simple days when I was little and we would take Sunday drives over to grandma and grandpa's house and sit on the front porch and just...
Kindness Act Day Three!
Fifty for Fifty! For my 50th birthday, my friend, Michelle, contacted about 50 of my friends, coworkers and family to write a note to me sharing kind words and memories from my lifetime. She had the letters mailed to her home and she gathered them in a beautifully...
Kindness Act Day Two!
22!! That's my favorite number. I'm not exactly sure how it came about but I remember when my husband and I were talking about getting married, I knew I wanted August 22nd. My dad's birthday is on the 22nd; my grandpa's birthday was the 22nd; my grandma's birthday...

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...
