End of the World

I have  had a week at home! Hooray! I found someone to wash my windows – they hadn’t been done since we moved in, I’m ashamed to say.  Someone else cleaned the gutters. I have been able to get into the yard and pull, trim, plant…do all the things that needed doing. And I know with […]

Lamps and Lamplighter

I am sitting in the middle of Lake Michigan (not exactly the middle) on Mackinac Island at the Grand Hotel. I am speaking for the Winsome Women conferences and having a wonderful time. The hotel serves up delicious meals – and desserts. They serve a pecan covered vanilla ice cream ball with fudge…to die for. […]

Postcards

Thank you for praying for my father. I dashed that blog so that you all would be praying. Let me fill in the blanks. On Wednesday I was in the Portland, OR airport (that’s a great airport) in a bookstore looking for a book as a gift for my granddaughter whose birthday is this weekend. […]

My father

I got in from the West Coast late last night. Before I left Portland I was called with the news of my father’s pneumonia and hospitalization. I was told that the pneumonia came on fast so they are treating it aggressively. He was in good spirits and visiting with the doctors and nurses. I thank […]

Leaning on Jesus

I ask that you pray for me this next week. I leave tomorrow for Sumter, SC to speak at the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast Thursday, the National Day of Prayer. Then I go to Arvada, CO to speak at a Mother’s Day event for Faith Bible Chapel. On Saturday I leave CO to go to Portland, […]

From Strangers to Friends

Yesterday I had the nicest visit from some folks I had only heard of. Randy Stonehill, contemporary Christian song writer/musician and his darling wife, Leslie, came by to meet me. Leslie had written to me that Randy was being ministered to by my little devotional, Fear Not Tomorrow, while he was facing some serious health […]

Family Photos

I thought you might enjoy seeing some family photos. I haven’t got them in the correct order – I am learning but they are fun and I’ll certainly be sending more. I want you to see little Payson since I have asked for you to pray for him. The first is with my Davis grandchildren […]

Removed

I removed the blog I posted yesterday at the request of the family requesting privacy. I honor that and did not think. I apologized and feel very badly. I just was so thrilled by the example of God’s grace. For those of you who saw it and read it, please pray for all concerned. God […]

New Year Ramblings

Happy New Year! This also happens to be my oldest daughter’s birthday and since she was born there has never been a celebration to top that one so watching the ball drop is not on my agenda! I go to bed early and plan a party for her.  She has been a joy! Actually, she […]

Please pray

In recent blogs  I have mentioned my grandson, Payson. He was born prematurely in August. He has had multiple health challenges and yesterday had surgery again. This time to put him on a ventilator. It’s not a life or death kind of situation – he can breathe on his own but his trachea can collapse […]
