A Heart of Contentment
"Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am in, to be content." ~ Phil 4:11~ This scripture reminds me of a story of a family who had to make the difficult decision to place their precious father into an assisted-living community. He...
Inspired!
After a sweltering Alabama summer and Ron's two months of pneumonia, we and two friends looked forward to a breath of cool, crisp Canadian air. We boarded the plane with temperatures in the 90s and stepped into the 40s in Calgary. The air, lakes, mountains,...
The Down Payment is Secure
For most consumers, buying a home is one of the most important financial investments most of us will ever make. Location is probably the most desirable aspect of the purchase. We have sold two homes in our many years of marriage, and I'll have to say I was so...
Bruises of the Heart

Comfortable in the Silence
There are seasons in life when God seems quiet. We pray, but we don't hear an answer. We search His Word, but nothing seems to jump off the page. We ask, "Lord, where are You?" and the silence can feel almost unbearable. But what if the silence isn't a sign that God...
“You Are Here”
"My favorite part?...That you are here!" Time with my grandchildren is one of my favorite things. Hearing their sweet little voices squealing, 'Nana! Nana! Nana!' followed by the best hugs in the entire world immediately softens the hard edges that 'adulting' leaves...
Who Was There for Jesus?
