Churches are open again in California with some restrictions. For the last year I have watched church from my couch usually wearing comfy clothes and nestled under a cozy blanket. Honestly this fit quite nicely with my introverted self. It's not that I don't like church or even the people at church, I do. It's... Continue Reading →
Alone or with God
One morning while reading and journaling, I saw a shadowy thing go by. I thought, "hummm, that's weird. Wonder what that was." But then I saw clearly what it was. It was a grey rat! The next thing I knew, I found myself doing what many women do in that same situation: screaming loudly and... Continue Reading →
Learn God’s Rest
As one who suffers from an Autoimmune disease, I have to carefully balance work and rest. Sometimes I get overly ambitious and pile on too many tasks to complete. I don't take time to rest, so I hit a wall. Then I can't do anything productive the rest of the day. I have to "save"... Continue Reading →
Our Spouse’s Weaknesses.
We really love each other! However, as you know, individual weaknesses affect our marriage. Sometimes I feel stuck because my spouse is unable to move. I've also heard friends share this same tension in their families. They were stuck just like my husband and I are stuck. It is actually painful. It's painful to watch... Continue Reading →

For example: I pray about my family's safety all the time, I pray for wisdom for everything going on in my week, and at certain times of year I pray... Continue Reading →
The Perfect Age
I just read the article "What is the Perfect Age?". I've actually been thinking about that lately. On the west coast of the USA people are saying 47 is the perfect age. Well then I should have a very good year then. What do you think is the perfect age? God's word to us: I think every... Continue Reading →
No Words Required
You know my thoughts and actions. I’m so glad I don’t have to explain them to you. If I were in a talking mood, you would gladly listen. Today, I’m just not. Know my heart loves you. I just want to be close to you. That is my heart. God’s word to us: Sometimes I... Continue Reading →
Relationships at Home
It saddens me to see my family members picking on each other. The younger antagonizes the other members of the family, and the older says hurtful things. We have a pause button on the remote and use it all the time when someone wants to say something while we're watching a movie. Last night, one family... Continue Reading →
