Hanna Jean
Hannah Jean bought her blankets for cheap
But each night she was too cold to sleep
When she finally did doze
It was lacking repose
In her dreams she sheared each counted sheep

A Wedding
This past weekend we drove to Michigan for a wedding.
A wedding that just a scant 7 months ago, we thought might not happen.
My brother, who wandered for a few years, who dabbled, who threw out, who turned away, who scoffed and even argued at time…
Holding On to a Dream
Just thought I’d share a quick thought today. Nothing too deep, nothing too profound.
God plants little things in each of us.
Talents, abilities and desires are like seeds within us.
He even made us with clay…earth…dirt.
Then He water…
A Little Stitching
I’ve had the sewing machine out and busy lately. First I made some gifts for a little baby girl I’m excited about being here. Then I did something I’ve been meaning to do for a LONG time. A towel recovery project.

A Gentle Answer
I can’t tell you how many times I wish I could take one back. A comment that flew from my mouth had nothing to do with how I felt, it was just “something to say.”

Irresistible Word
I tiptoed out into the dark kitchen a little before 6:00 this morning and got some coffee started. There was one brownie left on the plate and I never want to see the boys fighting over something like that (that’s why all mom’s eat dessert right?) so I…
Of Busy Moms and Blow Pops
“When is that ever appropriate?”
That question rolled through my head as the receptionist at the doctor’s office held out a blow pop in front of me as an optional treat for my child. I shook my head and told her we were just about to get some lunch.…
Who is Your God?
For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:21
Who do you worship?
What do you worship?
We, as 21st century Americans…
Oblivious Tom
In oblivion, Tom failed to mention,
That his girl had his utmost attention.
Though he never broke gaze,
He lost her in phrase,
And she thought him to lack condescension.
