This little dandelion caught my eye as I waited to take senior pictures for a friend of mine's son. Isn't life so much like this lone flower? Fragile. Fleeting. Here today. Gone tomorrow. But the seeds of this flower......................who can ever imagine how far...

The line was long in Hobby Lobby as Olivia and I waited to make our purchases. Supplies for a new adventure book for her and Luke that we found on the clearance rack. A couple of baby things on sale we just couldn't pass up for Erich and Mallory. We felt good about...

But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;  for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” I Peter 1:15-16 Holy. Set apart. Consecrated. I picture beautiful stained glass windows and majestic people dressed in white. Perfect. Spotless. Focused...

It's quiet here.................. except for the sound of the garbage truck stopping in front of our house to pick up our trash. It's easy to get rid of some of the things we don't want in our life anymore. Bag them up. Set the out. And wait for the right person to...

"When Moses went up on the mountain, a cloud covered it." Exodous 24:15 I wonder what was going through Moses' mind as he climbed Mount Sinai. A sea of people below........ people he had led into the desert. "Follow me," he had told them. And now they were free from...

  This sign seems a little pointless today. And if I'm really honest, so does the story of Moses and Pharoah as I move through my chronological Bible. Sign after sign, Pharoah missed God's message. And sometimes I worry that I'm missing His signs too. Seasons...

Those roots. My beautician notices them way before most, and she has a way of gently breaking the news. She also frees me up to take matters into my own hands as often as I need. I head to the store in search of my "true color" when the reality is................. my...
