The Ole’ Girl

John 12:24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.   Sitting one day in the tiny hair salon getting my hair cut, I looked out the…

Touching Base

My dearest friends, When I began this blog, I was not expecting to become so connected to you. What a pleasant and heartwarming surprise. I was advised to start this blog because of a children’s book I am writing. My personal blog, “God Notions” has become…

Rule Keeping

I observed a parent with their child at a restaurant last week and I have not been able to get them out of my mind since. It is not this particular pair, but the interaction between the two. They were eating and conversing as much as an adult can with…

A Morning Prayer

Good Morning God, You are more than my words can express. You are higher than my thoughts. My mind cannot envelop You. You are boundless. You are perfect. You are creative. Time does not limit you, You created time, Your timing is perfect. Nothing can be added to You nor…

Genesis 1: and God said…

There are days that I question everything. My choice of profession, getting married, staying married, having children and raising children.
