I have a fear. I hate to admit this—I know fear is connected to a lack of trust in God—but I have a huge fear. I hide it pretty well—at least I like to think so—as I wrestle with it almost daily. How’s that for honesty? My fear? Here it is: I am afraid my […]
What are you certain of in life? What do you know for sure? I suppose we would all have differing answers to those questions. How I wish I could sit down with you and hear what you think. My message is short today. And it may be just what you need to hear. You are […]
A picture tells a thousand words…the above is a picture of the bathroom my kids used while growing up. It also doubled as my guest bathroom. It has clearly suffered its wear and tear. The chip in the tank lid was from my youngest son. When he was a kid, he would hold his breath […]
In Proverbs 25:24 it states, “It’s better to live in a corner of the roof than in a house shared with a contentious women.” Yikes! I heard footsteps on the roof. Oh no! This verse in Proverbs came to mind immediately. I hadn’t been that bad, had I? I looked out into the yard and […]
As we routinely send our loved ones off, we usually don’t know when our last goodbye will be. We shake the hand of a loyal friend, we drop the kids off at school, we wave to our spouse as we pass in the driveway. What if that were our last goodbye? Did we communicate how […]
I’m living with two men right now. There is a subwoofer in my living room, gas fumes seep into the house from the motorcycle project, and dirt piles are in my backyard. I love men…I really do. No sarcasm there, I promise. When we as women can learn to appreciate men, for well, just being […]
Please come in – It’s 7:30 p.m. in the Williams home. Mike and I are both kicking back on our sofa—each reading a book. It’s peaceful. Very peaceful. It’s quite relaxing. It’s quiet. My mind wanders to what 7:30 p.m. looked like when my kids were little. I definitely wasn’t reading a book! Today, at […]
I was holding my grandson and walking around. I wanted to see what he would do when I walked over to the mirror allowing him to see his reflection. Do you know what he did? Cry? No. Laugh? No. Scream? No. I’ve done all of those, by the way, after looking in a mirror. No, […]
Relationships. If you’re married, and you don’t have any conflict, I’m guessing you don’t have much passion either. We love our spouse but when we want something, and they want something else, it can be a recipe for conflict. Conflict resolution, and healthy communication will either strengthen your marriage or damage it. Which would you […]
I was sitting in a bagel store—in Texas—munching on my pumpernickel bagel with garden veggie shmear. Why don’t they call it cream cheese in Texas? So confusing, just call it cream cheese. That’s what it is! Shmear, who thought of that? I feel like an idiot just saying it. Shmear…I’ll have a bagel with shmear. […]
