What a lucky year it’s been
Today is my birthday. Last year, March 19, was a warm beautiful, sunny day. Which was really significant because we had a polar vortex winter and I can’t begin to explain how brutally cold it was. Cessna said it was going to be a lucky year and 33, was quite the year! Travel. I traveled…

The sky is all we have
Have you ever watched the sunset? The sky lighting up with hues of yellow, orange and pink, taking the sun to another place.

Why did God love King David?
At times it’s hard for me fully comprehend how God could love King David as much as He did. David began as a nobody. His story wasn’t so significant. That is until David was brought into the spot light. It’s in the spot light where David did marvelous things. He won many battles and fought…

Incredible Truths
In the midst of our problems, our focus is on our problems and our efforts to fix them. We put so much energy into making things right again, making things whole. Unfortunately we can not undo what we have done. But what an incredible truth to know even then, in the mess I create –…

Saying Sorry
Sometimes life requires us to apologize first, and not because we were wrong. I think it takes great strength to say “I’m sorry”, we place ourselves in a vulnerable position. It by no means makes us weak, it just shows that we are forgiving. After all Jesus commended us to forgive others. And we don’t…
