about

I am a woman, loved by God, and determined to live by life to glorify my Savior, Jesus. I served in ministry with my husband for many years before his death in 2015. Now, I live on the farm where I grew up and enjoy being close to nature, wild and domestic. I enjoy gardening growing both vegetables and flowers. A herd of cows roam the fields around my house. Deer and other wild creatures make appearances often. I thank God for his Creation and especially for his strength and presence with me. Without God, I would be lost. Praise His for His goodness and love!

  • Old Way, New Way

    Have you read the book of Leviticus lately?  As you may know it is the third book of the Old Testament and it contains the laws and rituals to be followed in offering the various sacrifices God required. It also contains rules and regulations regarding cleanliness and moral living.  As I read through the book…

  • Watchful Mamas

    As Molly (My canine sidekick.) and I walked the field near these two mama cows, I could see how watchful they were of our movements. Their babies are lying on the ground and they are not going to let us or anyone bother those babies. (We stayed on our side of the fence.) There are…

  • Valentines

    I have many memories of Valentine’s Day spent with my husband.  There were always cards, serious or funny, but always heartwarming.  We often had dinner out and occasionally there would be flowers.   But one memory stands out above the others.  I don’t even remember if this happened on Valentine’s Day, but it certainly meant “love”…

  • Warm Fuzzies

    When I think about a warm fuzzy I think of something that warms my heart and not my body. Allow me to tell you about a “warm fuzzy” I experienced recently.  While in Tennessee helping my daughter as she recuperates from ankle surgery, I was standing in line at a grocery store waiting longer than…

  • Warnings to be Heeded

    On the first day of the new year, I was rudely awakened by the loud alert from my mobile phone. The weather folks were alerting me that an imminent weather event was about to happen; icy roads and nearly zero visibility!  If I had been driving, that would have been a welcome warning.  But I…

  • Christmas Blessings

    “The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, ‘I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and…

  • Be Still

    I enjoy receiving Christmas cards, especially from friends who live far away.  This year I received my first one on the first day of December and a couple more soon after.  One of those first cards (from my niece) had this on the front: “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). I…

  • Thanks-Living

    “For in him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28a). When I think about Thanksgiving, I think of the many things for which I am thankful. My family, my memories of loved ones now gone home, my home, food, beautiful scenes of mountains and nature. . . The list goes on and…

  • Frosty Morning Surprise

    As I walked toward my driveway one chilly, frosty morning I noticed something red in the rose garden.  The roses had stopped blooming, or so I thought.  As I came nearer I saw a beautiful red rosebud. What a surprise!  Only one or two of the bushes had shown many blooms all summer. Wayne was…
