This last week, like any other week, when I walked in the Walmart, I grabbed a shopping cart. It's just what I do when entering the doors. The one I grabbed first, I returned after a few steps because it was so hard to steer because the wheels seemed to be locked in a sideways position and I was trying to move forward toward the produce/floral department. The second one that I got had a piece of paper in it; but, I was on a mission to get in and get out, so the piece of paper did not distract ...

I have Peace and Peonies
I was to be in Israel this week, leaving on Memorial Day for a most memorable trip...Oh, it was all planned out...however, this very day that I was to be in the air flying to a land I wanted to see and experience, I am at home due to the plans changing because of this unchartered time.

The Value of Taking a Break
All of this being at home, along with all this working at home has been so very interesting and challenging at the same time. I am not complaining because I don't think complaining is beneficial; but, I want to share something I felt the Lord reinforcing with me this last week. I worked at home everyday before this season, so not a lot changed. And the fact remains that my favorite part of working at home was, and is, going out. I am a people person. This season has challenged me to take breaks ... Read More about The Value of Taking a Break
