Let’s Talk about Chronic Illness
Merry Christmas, friends! I know it's been a while, but life has been happening and I've barely been able to keep up. Anyone else? Yah, 2019 has been rough! Last December I moved to Nebraska. It was a crazy year in the big city, but God has brought me home. Some of...
True Love
Today was the perfect day to give Elroy a bath. Elroy is my car and he was so dirty I couldn’t take it anymore. He was covered with so much road spray that I lost him in the grocery store parking lot after work yesterday. There was I, looking right at him, wondering...
My New Favorite
I'm honored to be on the launch team for Tosca Lee's latest thriller, The Line Between. I have to say, I feel like every book Lee releases is my new favorite. I was a little hesitant with this one at first though, I must admit. If you know me at all, you know how much...
Hard Times and A New Perspective
Have you ever felt God calling you to do something, but everything seems to go wrong? God has clearly called me to write, and here it's been almost a full year since my last blog post. Honestly, I'm not sure how that happened. I guess it could be summed up like this:...

Grandpa Bud’s Sunrise
The morning of Grandpa Bud's funeral, or celebration of life service as I like to call it, dawned before I was ready. The blast of my alarm clock shocked me awake. I fumbled for the snooze button and quickly tucked my arm back under the warm flannel sheets. I curled...
Some Towering Beauties
I was on an adventure, but not just any adventure. This was an adventure with a purpose. The time was last fall and I was in search of the perfect photograph. Hmmm, that sounds funny; I'm always in search of the perfect photograph! I guess a better way to say it is...
The Setting Sun
This month has been a bit of a blur and as I drove home I felt tired, on the edge of frazzled. I was coming from my parent's house, where I stopped after work to get some much-needed Ruby snuggles. I live 2.6 miles from my parents. The drive from their house to mine...
Meet Ruby Mae
I started a new job a couple of weeks ago and I'm still trying to figure out my new normal. It's a challenge figuring out how to live life again after being so very sick for so very long. However, it's a challenge that I'm more than ready for! Our regular Behind the...
