(Photo credit goes to Pixabay.com user sobima.) As I continue to do my Pilates, my form gets better and better. This isn't me blowing my own horn. It's taken a long time for me to really start to correct my ways. As I repeat the same routine I notice things the instructor says which I've [...]
(Photo Credit goes to Pixabay. com user KBOutdoors.) Have you ever heard the sound a Quaking (or trembling) Aspen makes when its leaves quiver in the wind? Last Fall I discovered this inspiring sound on a walk. To me it's very much like the exciting rush of pouring rain. I have an evergrowing facination with [...]
Life is full of choices. There are many paths we can choose. If we base our choices on mere feelings and desires, our hearts can lead us astray. For the heart is deceitful above all else. This is why Scripture tells us to guard our hearts, and to take our thoughts captive. For everything we [...]
Unexcited Tired and I don't want to move It's just morning It's just the thought of the push The downward pressure of gravity The slow and steady trickle Of the incessant melting and freezing of snow. Is it time for Spring yet? Is it time for things to be reborn? Is it time to feel [...]
This isn't an ordinary F(L)ight songs. However, how God met me--when I needed Him to meet me--wasn't ordinary either. Sometimes Jesus chooses to meet us halfway.

Let the "flying lessons" continue. As a child I loved “dot to dots.” Connecting the dots revealed the entire picture! As an adult I [...]
It's time for another round of T Tastes Tea. My infinTEA war continues. Why? It's much ado about nothing that makes life worth living? Boasting. Today's challenger has some pretty bold claims.
