I Choose Gratitude…

Some days I just don’t feel like it. I don’t feel like doing the mom-thing. The wife-thing. The writer-thing. I just want to curl up by the fireplace with a good book and disappear for a while. And I’ve learned … Continue reading →

Song (Five Minute Friday)

Five minutes…ready…write! Song. There have been times when a song has reached me more than ten sermons could. Sometimes, I think I fall in love with a song because my subconsious mind knows before my conscious mind figures out … Continue reading →

Comfort (Five Minute Friday…or Saturday)

Comfort. I think of a hot cup of tea by the fireplace. Of cozy pajamas. Of sweet little faces snuggled next to me under the covers. I think of pot roast with mashed potatoes and gravy on a cold winter … Continue reading →

Mom, Can I Have a Hug? (Five Minute Friday)

Prompt word: Here. Five minutes…Go. Here. Makes me think of being here…in the present. Too often I’m not. I’m ruminating over the past or dreaming about the future. My 11-year-old is really good at pulling me in to the here … Continue reading →

Waiting till After… (Five Minute Friday)

Go. After I lose weight, I’ll learn how to dance. After I feel better about my weight, I’ll learn how to rap. After my kids are grown, I’ll learn how to play guitar. After. After. After. Why am I waiting … Continue reading →

Happy Easter…He is Risen!

Hello friends! Just a quick Easter post. We sang this song by Matt Maher in church this morning and it’s one of my favorites. Thought I’d share it with you on this very special day. As my pastor said this … Continue reading →
