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. This ... Read More about Finding Beauty in Every Face & Place – A baby bunny sits at my feet
Surprised by God
I asked a friend Monday evening how her day was and she texted back: "It was a Monday." I understood and could not have agreed more. My day had been the same. In fact, it seems there had been several *Mondays* in a row. By lunch time on Monday I headed outside during my lunch break to prayer walk our property.

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
Finding Beauty in Every Face & Place – Following a Butterfly
I went in a different direction when I started my morning prayer walk around our yard and was I ever glad I did because I saw a beautiful yellow and black butterfly floating around the Abelia blooms. I decided to stop my stick and branch picking up/acting like I was an ice-skater, and just follow the male eastern tiger swallowtail as he flitted from bloom to bloom. It was a whimsical adventure. I just followed along as he went from the blooms that were up high to blooms that hung ... Read More about Finding Beauty in Every Face & Place – Following a Butterfly
