Thinking a lot lately about music and memories…… I have been doing some more sifting this week. I found some old CD’s that I haven’t listened to in a long time. I’m sitting in my room, drinking coffee and looking out the window, at these perfect little puffy cotton clouds sitting in a bright blue…
I am sitting here this morning, thinking and praying about how amazing it feels to be un-stuck. Two and a half years ago, I was STUCK. Stuck, in so many ways. In addition to being stuck in the caregiving story I described a few posts ago, I was stuck in my ministry journey, stuck in…
This past weekend, I had the blessing of re-reading an old favorite book, Donald Miller’s “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life”.

For the last few weeks, I have been on a mini-quest. God has allowed a spiritual thorn in my side- the spiritual thorn of anxiety- because He always has a lesson to teach me. Since the selling of my family home, a little over a month ago, I have not had the magical happy ending…
I just came home from a very special gathering. The church, where Allan and I have been visiting- First United Methodist Church in Westborough- held a Blue Christmas service this afternoon. I have heard about these services, but I have never had the opportunity to experience one. The service is a healing service, designed to…
I need help on today’s post!!!😄😄 “I’ve got that Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy….down in my heart. Down in my heart. Down in my heart”…….remember singing that song as a kid?? This week’s Advent theme is JOY. Yesterday, we lit the pink candle on the Advent wreath, the candle of JOY. Pastor John preached on “Dare…
