As I open my eyes, the thoughts start to flood back into my consciousness. The same rehearsed dialogue rushes through like a wave crashing on the beach. I try to change my thoughts but the injustice of the situation can’t leave my mind and heart. It has been days of continuing this dialogue in myContinue reading “It’s All in a Number”

Blueberry Crunch
Last night I prepared a Blueberry Crunch for some friends that were coming over to play Bridge. Once we had finished dinner and began playing cards, no one seemed interested in the dessert. The full casserole dish of scrumptious blueberries, pineapple, and pecans over a layer of a yellow cake mix stood dormant on theContinue reading “Blueberry Crunch”
The Very Steps We Take
The rocky path was hard to maneuver but I found if I kept moving, I could almost glide over the rocks and stones that lay under my feet. But if I slowed down and thought about the obstacles that lined the path, it would cause me to stumble and almost bring my pace to aContinue reading “The Very Steps We Take”
A Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie

Because I make them so often, I know the recipe by heart. Over a course of time, I have learned that it isn’t just theContinue reading “A Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie”
With the Help of a Walking Stick
It just wasn’t what I thought it would be. From the brochure and name of the cabin, I was certain we would have a creek running through the property where we could walk down with fishing poles and hopes of a big catch.

Often I can find myself saying a little phrase that I learned when I was a young girl. “Home again, home again, jiggidy jog.” Not having an idea of what it means, I like theContinue reading “Home Again, Home Again”
In All Things

Rain Showers
It’s been weeks since we had our last good rain shower. Yesterday, I had several flowers just shrivel up and die in the intense heat. One day they were thriving and the next gone. As I woke ready to play tennis and walk the dogs, I realized that God had different plans. The sky wasContinue reading “Rain Showers”
