Hide-N-Seek
All of my children have wanted to play hide-n-seek with me at some point in their life. But my favorite was when they were toddlers. "Count to 10, mommy. Then you gotta come and find me!" "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10....Ready or not here I come! Hmm, I wonder where ____ is?"...
Forgiveness…It’s More Than Saying I’m Sorry
Blending two families together proved to be little like mixing oil and water. We stumbled and we fell often. We hurt one another more than we loved each other sometime. I was about 12 years old and my dad was remarried. I liked my step-mom just fine until we all...
Hope to Carry On
"There are no hopeless situations; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them." Clare Booth Luce I sure hope we can play today. I hope that I can win the lottery. I hope to be able to attend. There is nothing left to hope for. She had lost all hope....
Join us – we are digging deeper!

Whew…I need a break!
The last 3 weeks have been a whirlwind. I had a MRI that showed an unusual "mass" in my behind (a cutie in my patootie - as we like to say) and was scheduled to see a surgeon two days later. I had surgery less than a week later to remove said "cutie" - may she rest in...

As I sit here on this beautiful day, I remember this post I wrote 2 years ago.....and then I just grin because 2 years ago we were in the midst of healthcare storms with my mom. Storms that God got us through and that we put behind us. And now - we are in the middle...
Learning to Love
It was a normal "at home" Saturday..you know washing clothes and cleaning up the house. I took the kids clothes basket upstairs to put their clothes away when I encountered the disaster affectionately know as "Cailee's Room." Everything was everywhere but nothing was...
Race. Run. Run. Race.
Race. Run. Run. Race. Rat race? Monday morning had turned to Monday afternoon and I was feeling a little like a hamster on a wheel. Running in circles and getting no where. Or was I really? As I walked to my bedroom with a load of clean clothes to lay on the bed I did...
Whoa that face!
Confession time! I am a terrible poker player. Ok, so I do not play poker that often, truth be told I think I was in college the last time I played and I lost all my popcorn! Poker does require some amount of skill. And well, I have a terrible poker face. No matter...
