The Dancing Birch
Our mission wasn't a very exciting one, in fact, it was a little sad. My dad and I were on the way to pick up a copy of my grandpa's death certificate. He passed away several years ago, but my 92-year-old grandma was going through an audit and needed the copy to add...
The Picture Maker
I just couldn't get enough of that salty ocean air. The wind had become my constant companion and friend, taking the edge off the glaring heat of the southern sun. It wasn't needed in the evenings, but was still a welcome addition to the crashing waves and golden...
The Island Mix Up
It wasn't just me. We were all a bit confused when we walked over the long boardwalk and caught view of the ocean. Our intention was to go to Oak Island, North Carolina. In fact, I was sure we were on Oak Island because we had just climbed the first 12 ships ladder...

A Dream in a Box
Sometime dreams arrive at your front door in a plain cardboard box. A couple of weeks ago I got a shipment of books. But these aren't just any books, these books are very special. I carefully opened the box and lovingly took out a book, a compilation of articles,...
The Spring Bluebird
Spring is a wonderful time of year. It's full of hope, new life, and a fresh energy after the ever too long winter. This particular spring bursts with the joy of my two bluebird friends. They're lovebirds who love each other, and apparently, me! My mom calls my...
The Good in Good Friday
Hello friends, Medical treatments have me feeling pretty down so today I want to share with you the post I wrote for Good Friday last year, The Darkest Day. If you've ever wondered how we can call the day Jesus died good, read this. God's richest blessings to you and...
The Tower in the Trees
Lately we've had a smattering of warm weather, glorious sunshine, and bright blue skies mixed in with the gloomy clouds. I'm taking advantage of every one of these nice days! I've been trying to exercise more, and because I need a little (okay, that's a lie - I need a...
