Dogwood Lessons
We had an early cold snap this past week. We went from temperatures in the 80’s over the weekend to below freezing temperatures in the span of just a few days. That’s really unusual for us in the Peach state. I have never been a fan of cold weather and if it’s below 70 degrees, … Continue reading
Unexpected Blessings
As I was driving to work yesterday, I was giving thanks for the rain. We have desperately needed it and although it was no fun to drive in, I was determined to be thankful. As I drove, I prayed for inspiration for a blog post. I know that God is always at work in my … Continue reading
Giving Thanks for Intervening Grace
A couple of weeks ago, I was driving into work. I was traveling on a different path than was normal for me because I had to pick up coffee boxes for visiting employers who were interviewing our students. I was tired. It had been a long week, but it was all good things. My school … Continue reading
Prayers for Ian Aftermath
I’ve had a crazy week with very little white space. My son came home from college on Wednesday evening because his school went online in anticipation of Hurricane Ian and I wanted to spend some time with him. Although I don’t have a post today, my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Florida … Continue reading
Spider Lily Reminders
I was taking a walk last week around the campus where I work. As we approach fall, there’s not a lot blooming. There’s a lot of green still and a few leaves are falling, but there’s not much color yet. The entire world is embracing orange these days. Pumpkins and pumpkin spice are the flavors … Continue reading
Ruth Reminders
I’ve recently been reading through the book of Ruth. It’s one of those books of the Bible that doesn’t come up that much. Seas don’t get parted. Manna doesn’t miraculously fall from Heaven. God doesn’t speak in a booming voice, but He’s there just the same and I suppose that’s why it appeals to me … Continue reading
Rainy Day Blessings
One day last week, the school where I work, hosted a welcome back event to kick off the fall semester. We engaged the Chick-fil-A truck and our school mascot. We invited all of the students as well as our faculty and staff. It was a beautiful day and we had a big turn out. For … Continue reading
Plant Anyway
I was recently eating a pear that I had picked from a tree at my Mama’s and Daddy’s house. It was sweet and super juicy, so much so that I had to grab an extra napkin. I have looked forward to eating those pears every year in late summer, since I can remember and it … Continue reading
When the Prayers Went Up the Smoke Went Down
I recently attended a weekend conference for my job. I went prepared to meet lots of people, eat lots of food and to participate in light chit chat for a couple of days, which I did. What I wasn’t prepared for was a beautiful testimony of God at work. On my second night there, I … Continue reading
Exodus Reminders
I’ve been reading an online Bible study on the Book of Exodus. Exodus is one of those books with lots of action. There are ten plagues; the Red Sea parts; manna falls from Heaven and the Ten Commandments are given, just to name some highlights. There are accounts in Exodus that people just never forget … Continue reading
