Life as a wife, mom, nana and follower of Christ; hoping to share from lessons learned
I sat upon the bank atop the mossy bed.Settling in, I watched it pass, while visions filled my head.What tales could old man River tell? The stories he must know.Of seasons, weather, work, and play; of people, friend or foe? The rains of spring that fall for weeks and raise his levels high,The welcome heat […]

On this beautiful fall Saturday morning, I’m grateful. Looking out my window, the leaves are fluttering on the trees, and some are giving up their lifelong perch and floating gently down to a ground already covered with their neighbors.

With God’s help and the support and encouragement from my husband, family and friends, I finally published a book.

You beheld the hatred, the depravity, the gross reality of the state of the human heart. You were hung on a cross between ungodly men, mocked and provoked. Yet you […]
[Continue reading...]Ah, Motherhood. What can I say that hasn’t already been said? To quote Dickens, “it was the best of times, it was the worst of times”. You may think that an odd comparison, unless you are a mother. If you are a mother, it resonates deep in your soul. Two of the best days of […]

[Continue reading...]Oh, let the wind blow cried the little leaf While I hold on tight to this big oak tree It’s not quite my time to make the journey down Not until another hue of color I see I’ll hang here and listen to the wind in the trees And enjoy the crispness of an autumn […]
[Continue reading...]“Stop nagging!” We have all heard it and we have may have said it to someone else.
