I turned 56 yesterday. They say you should never ask a lady her age or her weight. Well, I’m not telling you my weight but turning 56 is kind of a big one-more-step-toward-over-the-hill step. Don’t you think? As I took that step I’ve been asking myself some questions. This comes with the realization that the […]
“Go plane! Go plane!” Lincoln screams every time he hears my voice. Whether FaceTime or speaker phone my little three year old grandson knows that in order to see grandma one of us has to get on a plane. “I miss Mugga,” little two year old Jacob laments. Jacob prefers calling me Mugga over Grandma. […]
This is the time of year where we look at our past year and forge on to the next. Many make new year’s resolutions. Did you make a list of resolutions for last year? As I look back on last year I am reminded of one of the most growing years of my life. It […]
I didn’t think it would happen to me. I guess I’m naïve. I mean, I knew it could happen, I just didn’t think anyone would take the time to focus on me so intently. When I say focus I am not talking about in a good way—not even close. I have haters. I did a […]

I’d been going through a tough time. Waking up I had no motivation to do anything. I forced myself to read my Bible, and have a prayer time, and then, workout. After that any motivation I had was used up. Pushing on. Coffee, and my standard breakfast of an apple with peanut butter helped me […]
This is the time of year we all make our New Year’s resolutions. Most resolutions are all about ME, and very self-focused. We proclaim, I am not going to do this, I am not going to do that… I am not going to eat this, I am going to eat that… I am not going […]
During this busy Christmas season, we tend run on hyper speed. Try slowing down a bit. Day 12 – Read Psalm chapter 1. Make a list of all the tasks you need to accomplish until Christmas. Prioritize what’s most important. Do you really need to complete the entire list? Planning and preparation will dodge potential […]
The sexual allegations are flying. It’s truly heartbreaking to hear more and more horrific stories of children who were sexually abused. We’ve all heard the stories.
