Sunny Florida, beautiful lakes, my patio, a great cigar over a good read after work. Time? 6pm. Brush my hair, lip gloss on, grab a chair – hold breath – there he is! *Pretend to not see him!* So, I loved to unwind on my patio by the lake, and each day as I relaxed […]

Experiencing God’s Journey
I am experiencing a beautiful journey in life with God. He has allowed us new spaces with Him while giving new perspective to old ones. I am enjoying the “space that we’re in.” And, as long as God allows me to, I will live the journey with Him. What are you experiencing on your God-given […]
A Good Old-fashioned S’uthern Saturday
We woke up today to a good old-fashioned S’uthern Saturday – if you’re from the south, you know that means cleaning, enjoying the calm, peace, and fresh scents, and – grits. I thank God for my home. I love every bit of it. And I really enjoy those days where the Lord’s Spirit just takes […]
