The beginning of May found us celebrating Renae and her high school graduation. Friends and family gathered with us and shared a lovely evening celebrating this milestone for Renae. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for us and my heart is still singing grateful. We gathered in our backyard, the one with the Kansas […]
Nonsense and Dr. Seuss and June Already
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” ~ Dr. Seuss Ah, yes, Dr. Seuss, I so […]
Yummy Fruit and Granola Yogurt Parfaits
We’ve been stuck on these yummy fruit and yogurt parfaits recently. They’re pretty easy to make. There’s a couple of steps to it, particularly if you make your own granola, but it’s all pretty easy! I usually have small styrofoam cups with lids around for frozen fruit cups or leftover homemade ice cream. I’ve […]

Expectant Hope
I come across these verses this week and I have to laugh a little. Psalm 38:7 “My back is filled with searing pain; and there is no health in my body.” Psalm 38:17 “For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.” I pen them in my journal from @wellwateredwomen. […]

Kindness Comes in Many Forms
Kindness comes in many forms. Kindness is quiet at times. Simple. Kindness steals in on silent tiptoes. Kindness cheers loudly sometimes! Kindness smiles bravely.

Marriage is Sharing Life
Marriage is sharing. Marriage is sharing hot drinks, inside jokes and laughter. Marriage is doing little I-love-you things, knowing what makes the other person happy, sharing in a life, creating a life together moment by moment. Marriage is sharing dreams, giving up dreams, making sacrifices. It’s a whole lot of give-and-take. It’s taking walks, taking […]

On Writing
I used to think that maybe I could only write about something once I had perfected it. I don’t think that anymore. For one thing, I’m never going to aspire to the persona of perfection I long to become. Jesus lives in me, but my human selfishness struggles in me and I won’t entirely escape […]
