I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face. My husband was standing mere inches from me, but there wasn’t even a hint of his handsome blue eyes in the darkness. We were in Hannibal, MO – or more accurately – under it. Inside Mark Twain Cave, we were exploring the caverns made legendaryContinue reading “Got a light?”

GOD’S PROMISES ARE BEAUTIFUL
My husband called from the other room, “Look out back! There’s a rainbow!” Since I enjoy rainbow sightings immensely, I rushed to the window. Here’s what I saw: It was beautiful, so I stepped outside to get a better look. And I’m so glad I did! What a blessing from God to walk into myContinue reading “GOD’S PROMISES ARE BEAUTIFUL”
Red Letters
Thank you, Lord, for being forsaken for me. Thank you, Lord, for forgiving me when I know not what I do. Thank you, Lord, for securing my eternity with you in paradise. Thank you, Lord, that IT IS FINISHED.
What Does This Mean?

It’s still hard for me toContinue reading “How God Made Me a Writer”

I sent him on an adventure, during which his encounters include an octopus searching for eight shoes, a juggling walrus with only one tusk, and a gigglingContinue reading “When the Penguin Talks Back”
Ponderful Pathways: My Path
Fill ‘er up, God!
I’m not a coffee drinker. Never have been. My taste buds don’t crave that bean. They prefer the sweeter cocoa variety. With an overarching saccharine inclination, my beverage choices lean toward hot chocolate, sweet tea, fruit juices, and, when I want to get really crazy, Mountain Dew. As tasty as these treats are, at the endContinue reading “Fill ‘er up, God!”
