Seasons Come and Seasons Go
Our daughter had her first child when she was 19, her second child three years later, and her last child two years after that. Because she is a single mom and needed help with the boys while she worked, she lived with us. Honestly, that didn’t really work all that well. From her perspective, it…

Resolutions, Smesolutions!
For the past several years, my husband has asked me the same question, “What resolutions have you made for the New Year?” My answer has consistently been, “None.” Seriously, if I could remember the last time I actually kept even one resolution, I might consider making new ones. The simple fact is that I have…

And Now the End is Here
So, last Wednesday night was my last night as the youth director at our church. I had been at it for five years, and at my age, five years represents quite a change in the physical aspects of keeping up with a bunch of teens. I\’ve been to camp with them four times; jumped up…

Squished in the Middle
Hubby and I watch the boys every Thursday evening while our daughter goes to night class at the community college. Tonight, we were knee-deep in homework (i hate homework!) and the phone rang. It was my mother, sounding frantic and asking me to come over and take her to the hospital. I asked her where…

Papa, The \”What If\’s\” Pushed Me Out of Bed!
Why is it that the \”What If\’s\” wait until bedtime to show up? I sit in my chair and fall asleep watching t.v. I wake up to find I\’ve missed the most important last few minutes of the show and now I don\’t know if he did it or not or if he was convicted…

Cybersaints
Over the years, we have made some forever friends, and many of them come from the church hubby pastored for almost nine years in Roanoke Rapids, NC. These were the kind of friends who just popped over for a visit. Sometimes they even brought with them a meal or–even better–a dessert. We studied together at…

Catching Up
Well, VBS went well, but we didn\’t have any major decisions made during that week. Of course, who knows what seeds were planted in those precious little minds. Time and eternity will tell, as they say. By the way, who is \”they\” anyhow? Does anybody really know? And why do \”they\” get all the credit…

Pastor\’s Wife Takes a Tumble and Other Attempts by the Devil to Thwart VBS
After several sleepless hours last night, I got up and went to the church to decorate for VBS. I got there early with hopes of getting finished fairly early and getting other things done at the house. Since I\’m just coordinating this year, my task for today was decorating the chapel where the kids will…

When Did You Get Old?
My son was travelling through on his way to an Atlanta Braves weekend with his friend. They stopped at our house to spend the night, before resuming their trek. While I was cooking breakfast for them, I stood and watched the birds and my birdfeeder outside my kitchen window. When Josh came down from his…
