The Queen You Thought You Knew

Purim is approaching and it holds many mysterious secrets that apply to our lives ~ if you have ears to hear and eyes to see! Let’s map out the characters…..we have, of course, Esther. She is a young Jewish girl from the Persian diaspora who has found a particular favor with the king. Because of her beauty and her personality,…

Shabbat Shalom!

Another week…another reflection of time.  What is time anyway? A collection of minutes that turned into hours that turned into days, weeks and months? Pretty close I’d say. But IN those moments, in those very seconds that determine the length of our lives, holds the very existence of our souls. The existence of our souls?! Yes. Think about it. Our…

A Season of Lights…

The calendar has rolled around to this Season of Lights….and I’m not talking about the red, yellow and green light strings hanging from all the rooftops right now. I’m talking about some inner light emanating from a few special candles in a menorah on my kitchen table. Being by myself, lighting candles by myself….has been a little disconcerting this year….

A Season of Lights

Oh my….while looking for pics of our Hanukkah times…I ran across this one…it brings back so many memories!  These little ones are all grown up and have babies of their own! Those days were filled with so much joy and happiness! My momma (may her memory be blessed) enjoyed it as much as I did and those younguns did too!…

A Prayer and a Blessing

As you celebrate the abundance of what you have been given by the Creator of the Universe, may you sit down and be thankful for His mercies. Here is a prayer that I pray for you this day: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the laughter of the children, for my own life breath, for the abundance of food…

Time……

Time has a way of catching up with each and every one of us….can I get an ‘amen’?  Or maybe it is just me … and just today. The older one gets, I think the more our memory likes to go back into the file cabinet and draw out the more vivid and happy moments in time. This is one…

Sukkot Musings…..

Good morning! What a beautiful, serene morning…or mid-morning actually.  I’m enjoying a week-long break in the form of the seventh biblical feast day of the Lord. It’s called the Feast of Tabernacles, or in short, “Sukkot“. The days have been so enjoyable, so serene, and so needed. Even the alone times – and I’ve had quite a bit of that…

A Day to REMEMBER!

This little girl is my beautiful, sweet, godly young Sierra … she turns 22 today…22! I can hardly believe it when I say it outloud….she was such a spry, active little thing, climbing up haystacks at the farm, letting tiny frogs crawl up her arm, running in and out of the sprinkler…dancing her heart out at nana camp….where have the…

Time….and time again…

Though times change…..they seem to come around again…at least some things. Here I am……at  2023 Feast of Tabernacles hosted by my son’s ministry, Passion For Truth. My 6 grandchildren are here, my 2 grand sons-in-law and my two precious great-grandchildren. Our family has grown – but it has also lost … my young son, Jason, my husband Jim, and my parents…
