Haven’t written much lately. Haven’t much felt like it. Can you relate to the mood? December brought Covid, cancelled holidays, nearly a month of quarantining and an ER and hospital stay. As soon as that “was over”, I had to jump back into work, teaching, co-op, and the kids’ schedule. I don’t think my spirit […]
Heaven
20/20 Vision
The last two months, I’ve been asking God, “what do you want me to learn through this time? How do I need to reset my life? What areas need to grow/change/develop?” Hillary Clinton recently said that COVID-19 would be a terrible crisis to waste, asserting an agenda to gain further control and push Americans further […]
I Want to Be Let Off the Hook
I keep rolling this phrase around in my mind, “Either He is enough or He is not. Where does my hope rest? Will I fulfill my commission to Him no matter what?” Now, by all natural inclinations, I should be terrified about what’s going on in our nation right now. After all, I’ve battled germaphobia […]

Not only did I revel in the romance and celebration of the day, but I also eagerly anticipated my own special day with my future spouse. What aspects did I like? What would I implement in my own ceremony? Etc. Weddings were enjoyable […]
How Do I Look?

A Bike and A.D. 33
In the last four months, I’ve biked over 650 miles. Regarding legwork, I’ve traveled from the northern border of Missouri all the way down to Louisiana. But, I haven’t gotten anywhere. Although I burned calories and toned my leg muscles, I accomplished little else. I saw nothing of the world and didn’t help anyone along […]
Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel: When You’ve Got Nothing Left to Give
When my youngest prayed to receive Christ as Savior, he finished and looked up at me, “I’m ready to go now.” At first, I didn’t grasp what he meant, but then I realized he was referring to Heaven. Prepared and ready, he wanted God to go ahead and beam him up. I understand that desire. […]
