A few weeks back, we had something surprising for the south – snow! This led to a few days off work, so of course we worked on projects around the house. My nephew had agreed to help me finish my closet which was unfinished when we moved in a few years back. We had our […]

Invite God In
Isn’t it amazing the difference it makes to invite God in? Into the details of your life and your goals, your hopes and dreams? True, God is ever present, but He likes it when we call on Him. And that should be the life goal of a Christian, to invite God into every detail of […]
All The Little Things
In the rush and the hurry of everyday life, isn’t it curious all the little things that get left behind and not addressed. Be it writing notes or filing paperwork, how do we make time for these things and get them off our mind? One way to motivate yourself to get things done is to […]
Using Your Time Wisely
In a day of endless scrolling on the phone, it is especially important that we be sure we are using our time wisely. Perhaps if we were to set the phone down more and apply ourselves to what actually needs to be done, that would help us well on our way. It sounds funny to […]

Happy 2025!
Happy 2025! Can you even believe it is here? It sounds kind of funny to say it, but I’ve always found the number 25 to be intriguing and exciting. It’s not because age 25 stands out in my mind – I honestly couldn’t really tell you anything of great merit about it. But for some […]
Exciting Outcomes
When you play it small, you play it safe. But when you take a chance, a calculated risk, exciting outcomes enter the equation. Small efforts and requests may lead to safe answers and minimal disruption, but as Christians are we really called to lead lives of insignificance? The Circle Maker I am currently reading a […]
