July 6th is a special day. My Gramma's birthday, were she still living, it'd be her 101st. I miss having Gramma around. Today is also my high school bestie's birthday. Happy Birthday Beth! The other day while at the quilt shop I had the opportunity to talk about different types of friendship with a 10-year-old quilter. She … Continue reading Value

Supply and Demand
Earlier this year I got a new phone. I needed one with more memory as the older one "lost" memory when I had to do a hard reset. I was constantly clearing cache, removing apps, trying to turn off built-in apps. So I purchased a new phone, with more memory giving me room for regular … Continue reading Supply and Demand
Refining, not Defining
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idA6fCAHVzs There's a new show that I love titled Forged. Have you seen it? It's all about forging blades. The first part of the competition the type of blade is announced, materials shown, and design time given. Each of the contestants are given 15 minutes of design time, then two hours to make the blade. Contestants … Continue reading Refining, not Defining
Did you ever?
If today you hear His Voice, harden not your hearts. Hebrews 3. As I started writing this post the verse from Hebrews wiggled its way to the top of the thoughts running through my brain. I took a moment to look it up and then read the chapter the verse is in. The chapter speaks of … Continue reading Did you ever?
Wonderment
A couple of weeks ago I suggested to a couple of friends that we study the book of Job. We each have life experiences that are, without a doubt, very challenging at the moment. We decided to go with 5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesn't Quit through Proverbs 31 Ministries, studying the book of and … Continue reading Wonderment
Examining
The last few days I've had the phrase, "help me feel compassion for you" running through my head. Today, Good Friday, is a great day to dig deeply through the crap that sometimes fills my soul and examine that. The selfish, self-righteous, if only you'd listen to me the world would be perfect, I'm way … Continue reading Examining

Genesis
The other day I read this post by Sean Kerr, redefining Knights, Princesses and speaking to a Truth that is overlooked in so many societies, and cultures, and people. A way back in Genesis in the creation stories, when God created Adam and Eve there is a built in, inherent equality. God created Eve from … Continue reading Genesis
So, we’ve been told
Beauty is only skin deep. So we've been told. So we're told. Yes, that's an intentional rephrase. While at lunch I perused facebook on my phone and was stopped cold seeing an image of a sweet, long-haired little girl, sitting cross-legged, wielding a pair of shears, poised to cut the "bulge" from her belly. The … Continue reading So, we’ve been told
For I am Yours and You are Mine
Waking up with a song in my head is always lovely. Waking up with this song in my head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m_sWJQm2fs always leads me to a moment of thinking and praying. Lately a lot of songs from "a way back when" have been on my mind and heart. Partly because the "band" has been playing them … Continue reading For I am Yours and You are Mine
