Jesus is my home-boy

  • Shots.

    In two short days, my baby girl has to get her 2 month shots. Oh, how I dread it.  To the very core. She’s oblivious.  She doesn’t know what is up ahead.  But I do. She is content and happy, living in her little 2 month world.  Trusting her mama and daddy to take care… Read more

  • All Her Parts

      Our baby girl turned 8 weeks old yesterday. People say she’s tiny, but she’s already grown so much to me.     I tried to capture her in all her little 8 week oldness.  She’s changing so much, so quickly.     Her daddy’s in love with her side profile.  And all the rest… Read more

  • A New Body

    It made many trips down I-40 from Tahlequah to Pampa.  It rode in the passenger seat of a red dodge pickup and when that vehicle wore out, a yellow Chevy pickup.  When he died, it rode in the back of my vehicle one last time along with the potted plants sent with condolences and a… Read more

  • Is that You, God?

    It happened on a Sunday morning two years ago.  Or was it three?  I really don’t know.  Not because I don’t remember it vividly, but instead because I dismissed it as nonsense, ridiculousness, even poppycock. I had gone to church that morning.  Whether I started my day with a heavy heart or whether I became burdened… Read more

  • Gobble, Gobble, Wobble

    It’s the most wonderful time of the year.  Yes, I know the song refers to the Christmas season, but I disagree.  I believe the Thanksgiving season is the most wonderful time.  It is my favorite by far.  This thanksgiving, 2011, I am blessed beyond my wildest comprehension.  There has been loss. And there has been gain. … Read more

  • Blessings

    I have a hot drink, a quiet house, and a long to-do list, but I’m going to sit a minute and write.  I miss blogging.  If I had my ‘druthers, I’d stay home, write everyday, and make preserves; or some other similar lost art.  It sounds idyllic, but I’m sure it would get old after a… Read more

  • Baby

    There comes a time in a blogger’s life, when she must decide if something is too personal to share.  It’s easy to share chicken stories and recipes, possum deaths, and classroom funnies, but not so easy to tell others when you’re falling apart.  Not for me anyway.  There is an occurrence in my life and something… Read more

  • The Whisperings of God

    Each morning I take a 30 minute walk.  Except when it’s raining; which is never.  During that time of awakening my bones and joints, I lift my eyes up and talk to God and He oftentimes awakens my spirit.  Some mornings, it’s just me talking to the wind and the sky, but once in a blue… Read more

  • Newness

    See, I am doing a new thing!  Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?  Isaiah 43:19 I awoke before my  husband.  Unusual?  More unusual than a flying armadillo.   Rather than rolling over and falling back to sleep, I groaned out of bed and crept through the dark house.  I laced up my tennis shoes and decided… Read more

  • One Judge

    The Casey Anthony Trial.  Yes, I’m going to go there.  On Tuesday, the world reeled at the verdict of Not Guilty to the most severe charges towards Casey Anthony.  Today  sentencing was handed down and Casey Anthony will be free in merely six days, the world reeled again.  Although I did not watch the entire courtroom proceedings, for… Read more
