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.

Bitter? I think not…
Where did we leave off? Oh yeah, I remember now...I was sharing with you how looking deeper changed my perception of Naomi and Ruth.

Refining, not Defining

There are so many things that flit through my head as I think about the gifts. And today I'm going to look … Continue reading Memories
same prayer, years apart
Sometimes in the quiet a song comes to the surface of my heart reminding me that I've been praying this type of prayer for as long as I can remember. "God I love you, I want what you want in my life." Often this is exemplified by a song, or a prayer (which is a … Continue reading same prayer, years apart
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
