My brother-in-law loves to say, “It’s all good.” Whatever is going on he doesn’t sweat the small stuff. Like my son, he is a paramedic. With the drama that transpires inside of an ambulance while racing to a hospital, I … Continue reading →

Posted on May 1, 2020 by For Glory Sake!

Cancer. Yuck. I heard it growing up regarding my grandfather. I was about 9. Not long after, I heard it again: my uncle, my grandmother, my two older sisters. It frightened me. The biggest shock came in 2010 when my … Continue reading →

Afraid? Fear not.

Posted on February 13, 2020 by For Glory Sake!

Some 300 times in scripture God says “fear not.” In other words, “have peace, you can trust Me!” Angels appearing, crisis happening, things that clearly cause fear… and God says, “don’t, stop.” I have been in scary situations, such as … Continue reading →

Be still

Posted on July 17, 2019 by For Glory Sake!

I took a nice long walk this morning, talking to God. Thankful for blessings, amazed over answers to prayer and frustrated that some issues continue… after years. I thought of the prodigal son‘s father- watching, waiting. I think most parents … Continue reading →
