A Poem Of Thanks This Good Friday
March 30, 2018
How did it feel To leave perfection To come from heaven To face rejection? How did it feel To know what was coming The trial, the judgment, The abuse and the shunning? How did it feel Asking your dear friends to pray And finding them napping Unable to stay awake? How did it feel To wait for the day When one you discipled Would be […]
A Message of Love
February 8, 2017
From the board outside my daughter’s school with her name flashing in recognition for the leadership award she’d won, my car was drawn like a magnet to the last place I saw my other child Jenson. His gravesite. I sat on the ground next to his tombstone, my way in this world of being as close to him as possible, feeling torn between the dichotomies love brings […]
Wedding Blunders
December 13, 2016
Today is our 13th wedding anniversary. I still remember the excitement of first meeting Doug. I spotted him at church with a friend of mine. “Who’s that cute new guy?” I curiously asked my friend Patti. I remember the first time he told me he loved me. The excitement of seeing his phone number light up on my phone. The moment I finally understood what […]

The doctor told us I’d only be in the hospital one night assuming no complications. My nine year old daughter Sydney was adamant. She would be the one who stayed the night. “I’m your daughter, so I should get to stay even though I’m a kid.” I let her know the first night might be rough, and she’d probably be really bored. “That’s okay mommy. You’ll need […]
I’ll Take Care of You
April 24, 2016
The waiting is the hardest part. I’m better once I know … It started Christmas Day with a seemingly innocent movement. Hanging the stocking on the mantel had never been an issue before, but this time it triggered a consequence that far outweighed the simple action. A total neck and back lock-up. Guess I’m just getting old. Then other strange symptoms came from out of nowhere as my […]
Golden Anniversary
September 20, 2015
It was a celebration … a golden celebration. A milestone most never reach. Fifty years of marriage. “What kind of party do you want?” I asked my mom. “I just want my family to be together,” she answered. And together we were. We hosted at our house. Sydney loves a party, so we went into serious party planning mode. Balloons, cake, decorations. A gourmet […]
Contagious
August 30, 2015
Laptop removed? Check. Shoes off? Check. Bag of liquids in bin? Check. It’s an airport security ritual. I got everything into the grey bins, hoisted my carry-on bag onto the belt at the security checkpoint and walked through the sensor without anything going off. Whew. “Ma’am, I need to inspect your bag”. Oh no. I could tell this bag inspector meant business as she rifled […]
