For my junior year of college, I was privileged to be a resident assistant for the 3rd floor of the all-girls dorm. This meant many things including the fact that I got to “name” our floor for the year. This is what I came up with. Gretchen’s Getaway. (Yes, I still have my sweatshirt from […]

Oh, the Places You’ll Go is definitely my favorite Dr. Seuss book. In fact, I have read the title enough that I think I have many of the lines memorized. But only one is resonating in my head today … Waiting for the phone to ring. That is the place where I am at today. […]

Today is Friday. And the 13th day of the month. Yes, Friday the 13th. How fitting that today is also my 13th post on this blog. Lucky? Unlucky? Should I find a rabbit’s foot or maybe be wearing my shamrock socks (Yes, I do have some thanks to my brother being married on that day! […]

Romans 8:37 “In all these things, we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.” I was not quite into my American Idol years when her powerful voice hit the stage. (My husband & I managed to follow the show for a few years and liked watching the contestants – not often the “famous” singers performing […]

An encouraging reminder that I need daily, especially as I continue to learn to crave God more than food! Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. […]

One of the items that I inherited from my grandmother was her scale. The “old-fashioned” kind where a black line waves at you as opposed to digital numbers staring back at you. The kind where if you stood on one foot, the numbers changed. And if you jumped up and down, the numbers went all […]
