Sometimes a thought gets stuck in my head and I can’t shake it. It pops up at random times for no apparent reason at all. It starts as a miscellaneous thought and then begins to develop into an “understanding”. That’s when I know the Holy Spirit wants to teach me something. I love these moments […]
NEGLIGENT: failing to exercise the care of a reasonably prudent person in like circumstances. Three years ago today, my daddy went in to Las Palmas Hospital in El Paso, Texas for surgery. Because of the negligent, deplorable action of one nurse, he never made it home. I will admit it is very, VERY, difficult to […]
I have avoided making New Year’s resolutions in recent years because I don’t have a very high success rate. I start out strong, but unfortunately I loose momentum by early February when my enthusiasm fizzles out. I chalk it up to lack of discipline and plain ole laziness! But this year I believe things will […]
Today I went in to the local Subway shop to get a sandwich. The shop is a combination Subway and ice cream place. I didn’t eat in – just picked up something to go. As I was paying at the register I realized something. The entire shop was completely VOID of Christmas. There were no […]

I had a dream about my dad last night. I was being attacked by a snake and he rushed out of the house with his rifle and shot it. I was so glad he was there to save me. I miss my dad. It has been two years since he passed away and the ache […]
Have you ever been faced with a problem that seems to have NO solution? Something that seems totally out of your hands? A problem that follows you around all day – taunting, nagging, distracting you? Me too. My type A personality hates those kinds of problems. I’m more of a “jump in and fix it” […]
My friend Janna forwarded me a cool “redneck” email. You’ve probably heard the “you might be a redneck” jokes by Jeff Foxworthy, right? Well, the email I received from Janna offered a cool twist on that theme. I don’t know who the author is but the fine print at the bottom says, “By Design Publishing”. Check it out: […]
This date rolls around every year. It must. It’s set in stone. It’s my birth-date. Its funny how differently one feels about one’s birthday as they get older. I remember anticipating my special day with great joy and expectation when I was a little girl. I loved being the center of attention and getting to […]
