Fireflies In A Jar

As we save the days of summer like fireflies in a jar, its time to face the music. Whether we like it or not, a new school year will soon be on the doorstep for your children or the children in your life. Gone are the days when school began after Labor Day. Schools in our Maryland county open their... Sign in to see full entry.

A Huge Kick!

What a beautiful day! The Lord gets a huge kick out of surprising me in the coolest ways! I hope you are sitting down. As you know, I have been looking for a job. You can’t imagine how happily surprised and shocked I was when I received an invitation to return to Florida as soon as possible to... Sign in to see full entry.

Once In A Blue Moon

What a beautiful day! It is sunny and hot, but too humid for me to go to church this morning. I know the Lord understands. After all, as a Christian I believe trying to live more like Jesus in my daily life matters more to Him than whether I miss a Sunday at church once in a blue moon. I am so glad...

Beyond My Wildest Dreams!

I was in the checkout line at the grocery store today when an elderly man looked at me, smiled and said, “Hi, I can’t believe I had to go sixteen miles to the store only to stand in line for Bananas.” “My wife has a heart condition and needs the potassium,” he explained as the line moved slowly...

Hang It Up?

What a nice day! Our weather is sunny and hot, but less humid than it has been. I am still working on the grant application freelance project. It has certainly been a fun experience and I’m learning so much. I am so thankful to the Lord for giving me the gifts I have in writing. On second thought, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Does Money Matter?

Money. We work so hard for it, but is it really as important as the world makes it out to be? While it is the currency of this Earth, money has dangers that the Lord wants us to be careful of. The Bible tells us in that a preoccupation with making money can lead to a sense of arrogance and misplaced... Sign in to see full entry.

A Second Chance

Today was wonderful! It was great having Vick back. Vick worked for me previously, but went away to deal with some personal problems. She is great now! The world has a habit of making things too complicated. Sometimes all we need is a second chance. Thanks for visiting! The Lord loves you! Have a... Sign in to see full entry.

Sweet As Chocolate

Love is like chocolate. Love is sweet and can bring you joy and pleasure. Both are soft. They can be your greatest source of comfort or best friend. There are times you can’t imagine life without it. Sadly, there are times it will turn on you like an enemy and break your heart. It is best known for... Sign in to see full entry.

Great Expectations

Living in such a hurried and busy area as Washington, this place can swallow you whole with its success-driven culture and great expectations. For this reason, I love my quiet time with the Lord each morning. It helps me focus my day and my life on far more important and eternal values than money or... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Starting Out

On this beautiful day, I am enjoying the sunshine and listening to the birds sing. My brothers are home for the summer from college. They are working. Speaking of working, this lady is happy and very thankful. I was recently awarded and am currently working on my first freelance project! I feel like... Sign in to see full entry.
