Look!
The Gulf Coast panhandle is famous for its beautiful white-sand beaches and delicious seafood. Visitors also enjoy scouring the waterfronts, hoping to catch sight of the nice population of dolphins. I love to watch the dolphins swimming just beyond the dunes. As...
Martha and Mary’s Hidden Gem
If you listen to playing children for very long, you’ll most likely hear the words, “That’s not fair!” Exasperated parents often respond with, “I’m sorry, but life’s not always fair.” If we’re honest, even as adults, it’s easy to fall into the “that’s not fair” trap....
Adoption: A Personal Journey
The first week of June is the most special week for me of the whole year! It’s my and Larry’s anniversary and our only beloved son Zack’s birthday. We celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary on June 2nd, and today, June 6th, is Zack’s birthday. As I reflect, I...
Faith

In a Flash
In a flash, two men with guns were by my side. One gun was at my right temple, the other was on my heart, and a third man was walking toward my sister, who was waiting in the car for me; I expected death to overtake us both. We were being robbed, and unfortunately, at...
Under Pressure
A couple of Christmases ago, I received a pressure cooker as a gift. At first, I was unaware of my great need for such a present. When I opened the beautifully wrapped item, I was grateful but genuinely thought I was just adding to the amount of unnecessary kitchen...
What am I doing here?
"What am I doing here?" I thought to myself one night before falling asleep. "What is going on? God, where are you? Why can't I hear you?" I feel like I have had a fire and a passion for God burning in me for quite some time. My husband and I go to Arizona each...
