Age Inspiration
I recently asked a friend of mine how her dad was doing. He had just lost his wife a couple of months earlier. She had been sick for a while, but death is always hard. She told me that he was doing well and that he told her he had started walking with some ladies … Continue reading
Choir Lessons
A few weeks ago, we were practicing a new choir song. I don’t read music. I sing what I hear, but I have learned which notes mean to go higher or lower, even if I don’t know exactly how much higher or lower. But, sometimes the music looks like complete chaos to me. There will … Continue reading
Tree Lessons
My mama and daddy just went to the North Carolina mountains for a week, with some cousins. They had a ball and Mama sent me some pictures of their beautiful surroundings. I’ll have to admit, it was breathtaking. I love the beach and the mountains equally. I feel closest to God in those places. When … Continue reading

On a beach trip this summer, I saw large flamingo floats everywhere. I suppose it just happened to be their year, but I joked with my daughter every time I saw one, that I wanted one to take home with me and that perhaps we could strap it to the roof of our car. I … Continue reading
Turtle Wisdom
Early this summer, I was taking a walk and encountered a little box turtle crossing the road. It was really close to the grass, but I took my foot and gently nudged it to safety. I reasoned that it didn’t really matter how close it was to the grass, if a car came flying by, … Continue reading
The Restoration Business
This summer I spent a lot of time refinishing furniture for my daughter’s first college apartment. I have to admit, I had a blast. There’s something amazingly therapeutic about taking something old, ugly, and seemingly past its prime, and turning it into something pretty and useful again. Old furniture tends to have a certain character … Continue reading
