Change of Plans
It’s a different situation and time, but I have to reflect on brave words I’ve said in public.
Trust in the Maker
This was the tallest rock I had ever tried to rappel off, the double rope heavy in my hands. But I was ready to go.
We Celebrate Eleven
I've had many happy and exciting moments in my life. Falling in love. Getting married. Having three wonderful children, one in heaven. I've climbed mountains, scrambled up rock faces. Crossed the Columbia River Bar and fished in the ocean. Flown in small airplanes with my late husband and son. Snorkeled in the Coral Sea, jumped waves in the Indian and the Pacific Oceans, to name just a few of my adventures...
Happy Birthday, Jim!
More than Jim loves me, loves his family, loves his God, there is a greater love...
The God who Made You
The first time I read that passage, I was in a tough place in my first marriage.
A Sure Anchor
Grab on to the anchor. It is trustworthy. It keeps you snugged up to the "trustworthy anchor for our souls."
The Feast
There will be toasts to the bride and groom. Gifts given. And a hearty farewell as the bride and groom escape to their honeymoon and begin their life together.
To the Bride and Groom
I pray you will have a long life together. That you will blend into a beautiful new family. That both of you will honor your vows until one of you leaves this earth.
The Best
It was a stinging experience, but I remembered that earlier prayer and the answer God gave me.
I Will be With You
I heard the words when I was deep in grief to "lean into the grief", to let the sorrow envelope you like the waves of the ocean. Work with it, and you will move through it. You will be stronger for it.
