These are some of the things that I've gleaned over the past few weeks in my quiet time. I have been told if it is good for me, it is worth sharing to others. Enjoy! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Lessons worth sharing
It has been a rough year at work, a lot of death has been happening. Some from natural causes, others for reasons of poor life choices. Some young, some old. Some with support around, others alone and seemingly forgotten by the world, other than a paid caregiver. Sometimes I find myself praising God that their... Continue Reading →

Have you ever just needed a cup of coffee? Old school coffee, not the k-cup kind. Coffee where you grind up the beans, put the grounds in the coffee filter and brew a whole pot. I love the aroma from the grinding to the brewing, the smell is intoxicating. Even when I didn't like coffee,... Continue Reading →
Focus on Audience {#Write31Days}
Just as it important to know who you are, it is also important to know who your audience is as you begin to focus your life. I have a grandson that is just a ham. He does some of the cutest things when he is performing for one person. However as soon as someone asks... Continue Reading →
Focus on Who {#Write31Days}
My house was a bit noisy yesterday, so I didn't have the quiet I need write. The idea was there, just not the environment. I will also in full disclosure say, this post will take me over five minutes to write. Who I believe I am, has a great deal to do with focus. It... Continue Reading →

Prepared for Presence
“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their... Continue Reading →
Truth and Grace
There is a popular Christian song by Torin Wells called Known that has been really speaking to me. The chorus says: I'm fully known and loved by You You won't let go no matter what I do And it's not one or the other It's hard truth and ridiculous grace To be known fully known... Continue Reading →
