Life…Under Construction

  • Out of The Mouths…

    This morning as we were preparing for church, Jenni was lying on the bed with Andre, and she had him all wrapped up in her arms. \”I love this little boy so much,\” she said. Without hesitation, Andre asked her, \”If you love me so much, why don\’t you come to church with me?\” Guess…

  • Intensity

    Intensity. The title of the first book I ever read by Dean Koontz. And the story matched the title. But that’s not the intensity to which I refer in this blog. In case I never mentioned this before, I have three grandsons. Oh, I did mention that? Sorry. Anyway, the three of them are very…

  • stuck to the floor

    do you ever feel that even though you are standing upright and looking like you got it all together, that your soul is actually splatted all over the floor–a total mess, blubbering incoherently? no? maybe it\’s just me.

  • Sometimes

    It was an answer to prayer. God had confirmed it to me. So why didn’t it work out? …….. Many years ago I read a book written by the wife of a pastor. In the book, she relates the story of when she and her husband were temporarily living with the family of one of…

  • Can\’t Sleep

    I just can\’t sleep tonight. So much going on these days, you\’d think I\’d be exhausted. But what I do is start thinking about the next batch of things to get done and then I\’m awake. Other things, too. Things I\’ve told other family members not to dwell on and fret over, because the chances…

  • I\’m Sorry, What Did You Say? I Was Reading….

    When I was very young, I remember my aunt reading to me and trying to teach me the alphabet. She was only two years older than I, but I still remember her little self being the teacher. Other than that, I don’t remember anyone ever reading to me as a child (if you remember differently,…

  • Toby Mac and God things…..

    Took grandson number one to the Toby Mac concert last night. It is part of his Christmas gift this year. We were both excited as coud be, and doubly so because I had been able to get us seats on the floor. On the way into the Coliseum, Nate scooped up a piece of paper…

  • …And God said, \”Wait.\”

    In 2007 my work-life changed. In a month\’s time, I went from being the office manager of a business to being a member of a corporation where my particular position of \”all-around, every aspect of the job\” did not exist…and I became a customer service representative. Now, don\’t get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing…

  • Fluttering Wings and the Milky Way

    A couple weeks ago, between my old job and my new job, hubby and I spent a couple nights at the mountain home of some friends. It was also the last weekend of Dave\’s five-week sabbatical from the church, and we consider it to have been the perfect way to end his time off. When…
