Putting Away Christmas
That’s not a good way to put that, I suppose. I never want to “put away” Christmas. I sure don’t want to put away that sentiment or spirit. It’s always bittersweet. Seems to come down much faster than putting out the decorations. Either way, I am always reminded of what these cherished things mean, from…

Back on the Wagon
Yes. I’m back after a briefly long absence. I spent the week of Spring Break (week of March 12) doing things I WANTED to do. Cade was with Yaya and KPop, and Miller was with his dad and getting to see precious Ms. Marion. :). Joy and I spent a couple of days together that…

God’s Goodness & Favor
One of the devotionals I read this morning ended with this question, “where and when have you experienced God’s goodness and favor?”. Where? Everywhere. When? Every day . Just now. On the patio. The birds so sweetly singing. A red bird that came to our little courtyard feeder and stayed for five minutes or so.…

Rest for the Weary
Weariness…daily…never ends…WHEN WILL IT END. What it is that I’m lacking that keeps it with me? I need it to stop. I realized this morning, in my quiet time, which continues now as I write, that my weariness is affecting B. It is affecting him more than it is me. Sure, I’m tired, but I…

Muddling
Yes, muddling. I think that may be what I’m doing. Like muddling a cocktail, I think I am muddling through the days, my thoughts, my chores. Or maybe I’m “dazed and confused”. I feel unfocused. Sometimes I can be laser-focused, but not lately. I’m not sure of the problem. I have certainly prayed about it,…

Bewitching Tulips
JESUS CALLING today warns against self-pity and how being weary or unwell is a demonic trap if we are not on guard. I must admit that I am feeling a bit weary the last week. Tired, no energy, just downright exhausted. So does that me I am suffering from self-pity, or am I just feeling…

To Do or NOT to do – THAT is the Question…
I keep a running to-do list. Several, in fact. They are written in an app on my iPad, they are written on a scrap piece of paper somewhere in the kitchen, and they are written in my Peanuts notebook. Not to mention the list that just plays in my mind. That list used to make…

Jesus, Country Ham,Biscuits and Blackburn Syrup
Yep. It’s that kind of day. It’s been that kind of week. The kind that you just need a few minutes to take care of yourself, in whatever way that manifests. For me, this particular morning, it manifested once Miller went to preschool (Cade is with his K-Pop today), and I made myself some breakfast…

Skillet Pie & Potting Plants
Oh what a glorious day that day was….one baby boy at preschool, and the other one with his K Pop for the day, meant that I had 4 sweet hours of ME time until sweet Uncle C (my son-in-love) brought MillerMan home from school. I had many tasks planned and a TO DO list to…

JuJu’s Crazy Shak
I would say it’s an appropriate name for this home most days. With two little boys afoot, you just never know what might happen. Just like the other day……. Apparently while I was rocking #2 grandson, a massive snowstorm happened, causing buses, trucks and the like to become stalled. Thankfully, the driver of the vehicles…
