This week it has come to my attention, I believe from the Holy Spirit, that I have been speaking some word curses over myself in my homemaking tasks. Maybe you have never heard of that term. We don’t really use that word in church or in sermons. Word Curses. Where did I ever get that?Continue reading “Word Curses”

Anniversary
This week was our anniversary week. We have been married 55 years on Friday June 26,2026. I want to give a big shout-out to my wonderful husband of 55 years! Someone asked him, after hearing of his anniversary, “What’s your secret?” He replied, “Jesus!” I agree! It is only the grace of God through JesusContinue reading “Anniversary”
Extra Tough Things
I needed some new rubber boots. You see, I do a lot of gardening. I walk through out winter creek. There are puddles everywhere and tall wet grass. I need boots that don’t leak and boots that are tall. My husband got some new boots and every time we went outside he would say, “IContinue reading “Extra Tough Things”
Saucey!
What is that? What is saucey? I know what sassy is but what is saucey? Is it extra cheese sauce on your Mac and Cheese? I needed to know because I woke up from a dream where I met “Saucey”! It was a person in my dream! So I did what a lot of usContinue reading “Saucey!”
God Cares…
When did this unusual prompt from the Lord start? Well, it was from my sermon notes. I take sermon notes and pray for our congregation at 7am each morning that I can. I trust that the preaching pastor has already prayed, “Lord, what do you want to speak and say to this congregation?” So IContinue reading “God Cares…”
Speaking and Listening
A small town in Alaska is a different type of culture than the rural area surrounding a city where I live. I have come up here almost every year for over ten years. I stay for a week, sometimes ten days. It is wonderful to be a part of our son’s family for a shortContinue reading “Speaking and Listening”
Breakup
Here I am, sitting on the couch, in a cottage in Alaska. An eagle 🦅 just flew overhead as I write. A stream meanders along, bubbling through our wooded backyard and the lake is our view out the side window. It has been a cold, late Spring here. Even so, the sun was up andContinue reading “Breakup”
She’s so mad at me!
Have you ever had someone really mad at you? Angry enough to avoid you? Annoyed, displeased and irritated enough to completely ignore you as they pass by you–even though that person has been a pretty close friend or relative. If we live long on this earth, I believe it will happen to each one ofContinue reading “She’s so mad at me!”
Mothers
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers! For decades this time of year around Mother’s Day was a time for me to think about my mother and my mother-in-law. I did not live near them so it was always about what to send them. What gift should I buy? What cards should I send? WhatContinue reading “Mothers”
Betrayal
Last week was a tough week for me. The title of this blog says it all. We went through a trial that felt like betrayal. The ones we trusted were friends, who enjoyed our home hospitality, who we spent close quarters with, who we collaborated and prayed together with, these friends angrily left us withContinue reading “Betrayal”
