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.
Rocks of Remembrance
Would we forget to pray for our kids and grands if we didn't have the bowl of rocks with their names on them? Probably not, but seeing their names on the rocks is a reminder to both of us to pray for our loved ones.
Light in the Shadows
In our dark world, I'm focusing on the Light. It is my only hope. It can be yours, too.
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...
The Land of Grief
My experience with grief has taught me that walking through that shadow is hard, but during the walk through the shadow, as the psalmist wrote: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me," Psalm 23: 4, we are promised his presence.
Anchor in the Storm
When I'm affected with circumstances beyond my control, I go to the God of everything. The maker of the universe--and the storms of uncertainty.
During the Valley and the Storm
Do we need comfort when we are lighthearted and all is well? No. Comfort--one of God's greatest gifts--comes during the depths of sorrow and loss.
Happy Birthday, Jim!
More than Jim loves me, loves his family, loves his God, there is a greater love...
Family Resemblance
Like a princess, she sat there, delighted to see me and Jim.
Sometimes, We Wait
Sometimes we have to wait. It might be easier to do something instead of waiting.
