Yesterday was my worst day so far. I have been VERY intentional about planning my day so that I don’t have time to “what if” and make something to look forward to. Yesterday, my big moment of the day was sidelined by technology. I fell quickly into the abyss of hopelessness. I wrote…
As these days wear on and we endure highs and lows, it is only human that we are weary. I asked myself yesterday what I was missing most. I’ve been blessed to be able to see my local grandchildren. This week I know what I’m missing, I was to be in Hawaii today. That aside, a…
Nathan & Brittany got me a Roku stick a few months ago. It’s been great during this quarantine. I particularly enjoy Love It or List It. I haven’t had HGTV since I moved to Colorado so I may be binge watching it now. These shows were one of the reasons I never want to…
I first read todays scripture and reading on March 11. It was a Wednesday and I had arrived in Portland at 1 am to visit half of my children. Coronavirus was a blip on our radar. The kids were still in school, everything was still open and nothing had been cancelled. We were planning a…
After the 2013 tornado in Oklahoma City with $50,000 damage to my house, I put an underground shelter in my garage. As I “decorated” it with l e d lights, battery operated fans, and a case of water, I thought, “I’ll be down here alone. What if I am trapped down here for hours, alone? I’ll…
As a kid we sang a lot of songs and all of them required motions. (See ‘Sing, Sing A Song 7/9/19) Today I’m singing “I’m in the Lord’s army” Remember that one; marching in the infantry, ride in the Calvary, shoot the artillery. We loved shooting the artillery. And in those days of imaginary war, our army…
I’m amazed at God’s timing again. I wrote this originally last week. It’s a word for Black Saturday, then and now. I am a born and raised, dyed-in-the-wool, Assemblies of God girl. Went to church every time the door was open come rain or shine. I’ve huddled under pews during an Oklahoma tornado…
Good Friday. The title of my blog, written days ago is exactly what the disciples would have been feeling on this day so many decades ago. That world, like ours, was in crisis, chaos and the believers of Jesus were confused. On March 6, I entered the word “Coronavirus” into my journal for…
The above quote is attributed to Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician. Everyone has seen the social media post suggesting you put a basket of single socks on the back of your toilet in the absence of toilet paper, “Desperate times”. Interestingly, Hippocrates may have said this while encountering the same type of situation we have…
Last week I was blissfully crafting and watching Let’s make a Deal when Norah O’Donnell filled the screen with breaking news. President Trump was signing the stimulus bill to help Americans out financially. After the congressmen patted themselves on the back and the President thanked everyone, he signed it. I was wrong in thinking I…
