Die Hard Christmas
If you saw my blog right after Thanksgiving, you will remember that I shared my love of cheesy Christmas movies. I’m happy to report that we have been taking full advantage of the season, and have watched at least a dozen uplifting and enjoyable holiday films. That doesn’t count the six or seven that we … Continue reading
Now You Will See What I Can Do!
All you have to do is read the news to get scared and depressed. There’s so much hate out there. Name calling and hard hearts, selfishness and finger pointing seem to be the current accepted problem-solving protocol. If the ugliness was just among politicians and late-night radio talk shows, we could ignore it. Instead … Continue reading
Christmas Movies
It’s Christmas time! I love Christmas. I love knowing that my Savior took on human form. I love that He died to take my sins and He lived so that I can be assured that He understands my hurts and aches and trials. I love Christmas for many reasons, and some of them are that … Continue reading

I will be the first to admit that I don’t understand all this well and I offer this disclaimer right up front – this is the Lord’s business and I am not even close to understanding His ways. … Continue reading

You may have noticed that I haven’t been blogging very regularly lately. I have a confession to make. I’m not lazy, and I certainly haven’t stopped having opinions. Nope. What happened is this: I began listening to the voices in our society and the really mean voice inside my head, and perhaps there was another … Continue reading
Cats and Deer
I love our mornings here on island, they start slowly. Since our house is tucked safely on the west side of a big hill, the actual sun doesn’t show itself to us until about 10 or so. The result is that mornings seem to linger and relax. Unfortunately, we don’t get to do the same. … Continue reading
We Need a Little Forgiveness
I’ve been thinking about forgiveness. I was raised in a Christian home and taught right from wrong with the Bible as the authority. I accepted Jesus as my Savior when I was quite young. Even so, there were patches of time throughout my life during which I walked a little (ok a lot) farther away … Continue reading
