Welcome to My Blog
The purpose of this blog is to express ideas that God is speaking to me about. Even when the it’s informational, it’s personal. Everything is written from my perspective, conversationally.
I’m an external processor. This means I figure out my thoughts and opinions while I’m talking about it aloud- or writing. This blog provides space for that.
So enjoy a peek inside as I write ‘in the raw’. Transparent. Unapologetic. Real.
Topics:
Downcast & Mourning
They were facing the fence with their backs to my pretty pot! I'd been aggravated with them, too, because they almost look ashamed. With their lovely faces tilting downward. Why don't they follow the sun like sunflowers should?

The Power of Moms’ Words
I hear my Mom come flying out of my mouth. I hear her warnings, her admonitions, her corrections, her unique phrases, her repeated memories. She is a part of me and will be, until my dying day.
Intro to Transplanted
Introduction from my book, Transplanted: How to Rest in Your Walk with Jesus. “I encourage you to invite the Lord to transplant you. He will transplant you from where you are to a place of freedom and rest in Him.
Preface: My Story
This is the preface for my book, Transplanted: How to Rest in Your Walk with Jesus. It contains a summary of my story. It begins: “Where do I start? I mean, I spent most of my life in a struggle. Struggle to be right. Struggle to do right…”
The Mighty Seed
You know the seed must DIE before it is effective. Before it can grow. Before it can mature. Before it can produce fruit. Before it can reproduce. It must be buried in the ground, dead. Rain and the warmth of the sun resurrects that seed.
The Spiritual Beach
You may be unaware of the waves you make as God works though you. But those watching walk away inspired and amazed, touched and affected by the immense force as the Spirit uses you to do what seems natural to you.
Changing Roles
I believe we can have sweet relationships with our adult children and our grandchildren if we will approach with Humility, Grace, Tenderness, Respect and an attitude that says, “I believe in you! I’m rooting for you! I’m on your side!”
Just What is the Bible All About?
All of the Old Testament is a foreshadowing of the Main Event. The Climax of the whole story: Jesus. Are we reading the Bible like an instruction book? Or are we reading it to find the Treasure of Jesus?
