On the way to an appointment on Friday The Salesman called to tell me about a yard sale at a neighbors house. He described the yard sale house on our street as "the one with architecture similar to our home when we lived in in North Carolina." I didn’t need a house number, The Salesman's description helped me to know exactly which house, and the owners, that were having the yard sale. He continued to say that he didn’t stop because he was on his way out-of-state; but, knew that since we both ... Read More about Beauty in the Broken
Finding Beauty in Every Face & Place – A baby bunny sits at my feet
Right before the bird family that nested on the wreath on our back door flew away, the Lord sent a bunny family. Our yard seems to have a magnet for animals somewhat like Snow White did in her fairytale. Sunday evening before a business zoom call, I started to close the bamboo blinds and much to my surprise, had a front row view to the mama bunny nursing her babies right there among the gardenias, hydrangeas, and the like, in my little slice of heaven flower garden at the back door.

Scripture Memory Team – Verse 10
I got a tattoo. Are you surprised? . . It's a Bible verse! . . Oh, it is only a temporary tattoo to aid in Scripture memory. Gotcha, didn't I? I will never forget when my youngest shared with me about a tattoo she was thinking of getting. Some conversations will be forever etched in my mind; but, not that one, because the details were impertinent. It was the way she chose to share with me. Yes, I will always remember the honor she gave me in communicating her thoughts ... Read More about Scripture Memory Team – Verse 10
