I am beyond grateful for the freedoms we enjoy as a result of their sacrifices, I just don’t take the time to attend the services that are usually held on November 11. Of course this year there are few if any services to attend. Ironically, this is the year I feel more patriotic toward those…

Sometimes we may not notice it and other times it seems to flow freely. God often uses our darkest days to show us that His grace is all we…
When you hear the word graceful, what comes to mind? Generally, we think of things that are elegant and beautiful. Maybe you think of a ballerina, a star athlete making a beautiful catch, or even a bird in flight. If I’m being honest, no one has ever accused me of being graceful. When I took…
In September of 2020, my life took a detour I hadn’t planned on taking. I was diagnosed with non-invasive breast cancer and decided to share a bit about the journey here rather than on social media. The posts are dated and if you are new to this journey with me, you may want to start…
There are times in life when we need to let go of something we love to make room for something we love even more. I find myself at one of those times now. Ever since I was a young girl I’ve wanted to write. And I have. I’ve journaled. I’ve written poems. Even during the…

September 11 will always be a day we remember. Terrorists attacked our country with every intention of destroying our way of life. But they hadn’t counted on our faith and our resilience.
