Developing a Habit of Faith
I’ll start today’s post with the current weather in Portland: 31 degrees, roads covered with 1+ inches of snow and a similar quantity of ice. Over 200 schools are closed in our area as well as government offices and many businesses. Roy is home with me today. I’m sitting in my nice warm house in … Read More

Hope —Use It or Lose It
As we turn our hearts to a new year, I’ve got a few confessions to make. I’m not a goal setter. I never make New Year’s resolutions. And even if I have a dream vacation on the calendar, I never think about it because it’s torture to dream about relaxing in paradise while living with … Read More

Compelled To Praise
We were visiting our kids and grandkids in CO over the Christmas holiday, and my iPad went wonky. After an update of the operating system, it wouldn’t turn on. I tried everything. Pushed buttons. Held down buttons. Prayed over it. Maybe even mumbled a curse word (does “flippin” count?). Still wouldn’t turn on. I hadn’t … Read More

Room in My Heart
…and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped Him in strips of cloth and placed Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7 A few days before Thanksgiving, I lay snuggled up in a warm quilt and wool blanket, waiting for sleep to come. … Read More

Would You Have Missed the Messiah?
Would you consider yourself an observant person? I used to be—especially when it came to actors in different roles. I could spot the same actor in a different movie or TV role no matter how their hair, makeup, or even age had changed them. I told my husband for years that “Goose” in the movie … Read More
