After reading them I felt the thoughts were so cleverly written that they were just too good not to share. . . . → Read More: This Must Be Shared… I love mornings. News on the telly playing low in the background, sitting in my recliner next to my open back door, iPad on my lap with a hot cup of good coffee within easy reach completes the picture. I tend to my email and browse the Facebook newsfeed. After awhile, feeling all is okay . . . → Read More: The Rest of God For awhile I’ve been asking God for a new perspective on some old ideas. Today I was blessed with this find. So many times we want “more”. We don’t realized that we are like a glass.

Trouble was, the envelope felt way too thick to be a card and there was extra postage on it. I opened it up and it wasn't a Xmas card at all. It . . . → Read More: Surprise, Surprise! How many times do we start our day with this prayer: "Please Lord, just let me get through this day!" There are so many days, when upon awakening and our feet have barely graced the floor, that we're praying for the moment that we we can climb right back into that bed.
