I received a wonderful phone call recently, but I will get back to that in a moment. If you have been keeping up with my blogs (or speaking with me directly) you know that it has been a very challenging year for me and my sweet little kitty, Mulligan. She has been very ill and […]

I can be so incredibly weird and awkward. I mean, it is truly embarrassing at times. I am not exactly sure why, either. Am I introverted? Do I have social anxiety? Am I simply immature or insecure? It may be a little bit of all these things. The point is, when I analyze my words

The other day I needed a “chocolate fix”, so I decided to head to Cumberland Farms for some M&Ms (I may have also bought Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, but we will discuss gluttony another day-lol). Cumbies is 1.4 miles from my home, a mere 3-minute drive. In the ~10 minutes I was out and about,
Have you noticed that nothing is sacred nowadays? 2 Timothy 3:1-5 “… in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they
