Power in Numbers

Published on May 23, 2011 By Administrator

This morning, as I was dragging myself out of bed and onto my knees to pray, I was trying to figure out what I could do not to run alone this morning.  I was already too late to head to the track where I often run in inclement weather, and since the latest storm had [...]

Way to Be…Grateful!!!

Published on May 2, 2011 By Administrator

About a week ago, I began to be extraordinarily aware about approaching life with a new level of gratitude. I tried to notice little things people did for me that made a difference in my life so I could thank them genuinely (especially instead of draining my energy focusing on what I might think I [...]

I have always wanted to be a mother. Let me say that again. I have ALWAYS wanted to be a mother and now a grandmother. There is nothing that brings more joy into my life than to be with my family! Last weekend, I was able to take care of my youngest grandbaby. He was [...]

I awoke thus morning with a thought I would like to share: “If we don’t actively, acutely, and with awareness arm our children with knowledge, who will?” Recently, a Facebook friend posted a link on her wall about young girls dancing in a contest and how they were, in essence, bumping & grinding their bodies [...]

Last weekend, we spent some time at the beach.  I loved being in the calm, cool water with my little ones.  We built islands in the sand, searched for shells, and kept coated with sunscreen. At one point, my husband and oldest son were out swimming around the sand bar–quite a way out in the water.  I decided, on [...]

I am so thrilled that this weekend is Mother’s Day. There will be messages in church about mothers. Lots of sales have been advertised, children are making cards and presents at school, with everyone celebrating the importance of mothers. Among the most famous mothers in history was the mother of President Abraham Lincoln. He is [...]

Motherhood Joys and Trials

Published on April 13, 2010 By Administrator

Being a mother is sometimes hard. Being a mother is sometimes easy. Being a mother is always a challenge and the most rewarding adventure of a lifetime. I didn’t understand this as a young girl. I thought I would ride off into the sunset with my handsome prince and we would “live happily ever after.” [...]

I Have a Dream…

Martin Luther King, Jr. was not alone.  We all have dreams.  I am grateful that he expressed his dream so eloquently and powerfully.  Are we expressing our dreams to the ones in our lives that can help us see them come to pass? This morning, I was doing some handwashing of various articles of my clothing.  I [...]
