  • Gethsemane Days

    In my mind, I am still enjoying Easter. Students, it is the fourth week of Easter and life here in Tennessee is bursting with rebirth. It is also rising from the earth. Have you discovered all of the trees bursting with colorful blooms? Last week we read St. Stephen in Acts of the Apostles 6:…

  • Shine on!

    In my mind I am thinking about how time flies! It is already the end of the second week of Lent. Are you shining your Christ lights? Are you keeping your Lenten goals? If yes, great! If not, start today. Most people give up stuff for Lent: foods, vices, cursing or social media. These are…

  • Oh, Christmas!

    In my mind, I am thinking how can Christmas be just THREE days away? My heart starts beating faster just thinking about it. The sounds, smells, businesses buzzing, and humans scurrying around everywhere! It can drive a person mad. Let’s talk about the slowness of the postal service and all of the UPS and FedEx…

    Hosea 10:12 Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you.

    In my mind today, I am thankful for my life. The past few months God has been nudging me to do the work he still has for me. Truthfully, it was not what I wanted. I wanted to disappear. How could I be so selfish to my heavenly Father from whom every blessing has been…

  • HOPE is Floating, again

    In my mind lately I have been searching for Hope. You know something to look forward to because I have been ghosting in my mind in the past. It has been a powerful journey fighting back from the other side of grief. Something floating in my chest nudged me. There once again, I find myself…

  • Easter

    Easter  In my mind today, I am grateful for another spring. It brings so much beauty. I try to enjoy all of the rebirth. New nests being built by my window, perennial flowers peeking up through the ground, and buds on trees bursting to attract the bees. It is such a celebration of life. I…

  • March Madness

    In my mind today I am thinking about March Madness. Oh, I absolutely love this time of year. My sweet husband and I were so ready for November but March is when it gets heated. Waiting to see if our favorite team made it into the big tournament is so stressful!  Believe it or not,…

  • Regrets

    In my mind, I have been thinking about regrets. We all have them. I regret that I didn’t work hard in school. I regret that I wasted time on silly, meaningless activities instead of building my character. I regret wasting time and energy being negative because owning my problems seems too hard. Face it. We…
