When my mom died at 99.5 in March 2019, I put quite a few things away in plastic crates to address later. Couldn’t face all of it. I took thousands of slides to my sister. She was not thrilled. I took a couple boxes of every card and letter to my niece because she sentContinue reading “Never Say Never”

Intangible Gifts
“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God.” (1 Peter 4:10 NASB) I am excited about PENCON starting tomorrow. However, I have a Circle Luncheon and church Bible Study and my oldest son’s birthday is tomorrow. I am so proud ofContinue reading “Intangible Gifts”
Previous: All About Me
I am amazed by two verses I have known for years. They grow richer and deeper daily. Trust in the Lord always and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all they ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV). AND… “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,Continue reading “Previous: All About Me”
God’s Whirlybirds in North Carolina
I don’t often think about helicopters. Unless I hear them overhead or I see one on TV, these marvelous machines don’t enter my mind. I remember from childhood thinking airplanes were like mechanical birds but helicopters are more like dragonflies. Living only two hours from Asheville and very near the chain of dams along theContinue reading “God’s Whirlybirds in North Carolina”
Time
Lately, I have been thinking about time. What got me started was the change of seasons, my husband asking me when time “changes back”, and looking in the mirror. Changes there, too. Sometimes time moves fast and sometimes it is painfully slow in passing. Consider an elementary school year when you were a child. DependingContinue reading “Time”
Inspiration
I am sitting in the home of one of my first cousins, drinking coffee and eating strawberries. Laurie and Linda have been my friends for many years. Every summer I looked forward to August because we went to Felton, Buchanan, and Cedartown, Georgia to spend time with my dad’s family. For some reason, this visitContinue reading “Inspiration”
Perspective
Have you ever heard, “This generation is going to hell in a hand basket”? I guess every generation has had moments like these. The issues may seem to change, but the root problems with life do not. I am amazed at our short-sightedness as humans. Today’s solutions seem to become tomorrow’s problems. But we wantContinue reading “Perspective”
Community Challenge
I would like to alert the “small town” people, who enjoy the many benefits of their town, to take a step out of your comfort zone. While no community is perfect, I see a myriad of positive things going on around me. As a teacher for a total of thirty-eight years, I spent eleven ofContinue reading “Community Challenge”
Kids…
We started getting ready for a small Children’s Christmas program this morning. Kids always make it interesting. Children’s Church Leader: I am already hearing Christmas music. Are you? #1 Kid: We only listen to Christian music. CCLeader: That’s great… so I know you will hear Christmas music soon. Does anyone know who came to seeContinue reading “Kids…”
Part III-I don’t know about CRT…
The interesting thing to me about the current Critical Race Theory discussion is that its supporters seem to be divided as well as its opponents. There are a lot of “formally educated” people on both sides of the controversy and there are people educated by life skills and practicality. There are white people who argueContinue reading “Part III-I don’t know about CRT…”
