I am a Special Needs Parent- that makes me a Rope Walker. ~ Sometimes, just 1 THANG- (you know the word”thang”- it’s a gargantuan THING) breaks me down, open my floodgates and I begin to cry. I am a rope walker. When I look down I’m afraid of falling. How do I begin to explain […]
The Tower of Babel via Genetic Engineering is rising again to the heavens. People blindly come and worship at the scientific DNA altar as Doctors routinely pressure (cough- offer) prenatal testing to “help” parents make a decision about the desirability of keeping their offspring. (aka children) w Down Syndrome testing was an easy beginning […]
We can’t stop every “Word Bully”- but we can teach our children about the power of words and how to overcome! There will always be word bullies. Sometimes it’s because “Hurt people, hurt people.” Other times, people have evil hearts that crave hurting others. What ever the case – we need to be prepared BEFORE […]
In the movie, “Facing the Giants”, we’re told there are 365 scriptures urging us to “Fear Not”– that’s 1 for every day of the year! But I can’t help wishing we could wake up each morning and audibly hear His voice, saying- “FEAR NOT. I’ve got everything under control.” As I’m sinking my roots down […]
Mankind is our Business Life is a blessing- a gift from God. But when life gets overwhelming- it’s easy for me to wish, fixate, yearn for “the better Life ahead” you know, the one where all our troubles will be over, God will wipe away our tears & He will live with us and be […]
How many of us think about this truth every day? [Tweet “Our story is written daily- don’t get bogged down in a chapter you don’t like-“] we’re not at the end of the story- Yet! Happily Ever After isn’t something Disney movies and fairy tale books made up. They got their idea from the great […]
Who among us hasn’t said this or at least thought it? Not once, but many times! Perhaps, you, like me, have an acute sense of “fairness”. When I was a teenager, I would champion for the weak and get on my soapbox to preach fairness and equity 🙂 Life seemed it continually doled out “situations” […]
Bethany, Cohen & I love to eat subs at Subway. Funny, but we always seem to get the same person taking our orders, every time we go! He knows our orders from memory and loves to tease Cohen and Bethany as they give their orders. Today, he asked if they were going to be zombies […]
If you didn’t catch my post about our daughter, Moriah, becoming engaged, you’ll want to click here to read their sweet story. It’s so – sigh- romantic! ♥ But as happens with life, one story has many back stories. There is no such thing in life as clear cut or one dimensional. Millions of […]
Do I have a Treasure Chest full of JOY for you!! I’m excited to introduce a sweet sister in the Lord, Marie Wikle. We met on Twitter but, as it seems to happen on social media- when you meet fellow Christians- you’re immediately connected by the invisible cords of God’s love. She’s the founder of […]
What is it about most of us human beings that want to fill every empty space in our life with something? When I’m hungry, I eat until I “feel” full! In my home, I fill blank walls with pictures, rooms with furniture, and couches with pillows so I can “feel” comfortable and cocooned. I fill […]
Is there anything more thrilling than God Authoring a Love Story? Our daughter, Moriah, just got engaged! Over the past year of dating, our family has observed, “tested”, evaluated, and subsequently embraced Johnny, as one of our own. 🙂 Kudos to Johnny- he not only approached Jeff and I to ask our blessing and permission […]
I will give you hidden treasure riches stored in secret places so that you will know that I AM – the Lord who calls you by your name . Isaiah 45:3 My Child- Look to receive my outpouring! Open your heart with hope and childlike faith I am forever […]
The first day of school has come and gone- but not without a fashion show and a lot of debate about what to wear. Amy, Bethany, and Finley (5th, 6th, and 2nd) tried on outfits. ( many outfits! 😉 ) I was barely holding in my laughter as they debated about what was too fancy, […]
Jeff, Bethany, and I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Illinois, to visit my sister & her family, and my last living aunts and uncles, and cousins. Party Times! Precious times! As we were reminiscing, my Aunt inquired, “Cindy, are you going to McLean to visit the graves?” (my Mom, Jeff’s Dad, and […]
