We drove to Clinton, Tennessee yesterday for our nephew Asa’s dedication on Sunday. Plus, his Papa, my brother Pete’s birthday is Monday. Lots of family coming in…. already pretty wild around here. I’m so used to my quiet house. Tony and Pete had a great time laughing at video clips online last night. Guy thing. Everyone’s off doing something at …

The Lesson of Red
We have house guests. One of the youth’s friend and her Mom. Thursday morning they were up early getting ready to go over to Orlando to visit friends and go to Universal.As they go ready, I hear Red, our cat, meowing at them off and on for well over an hour. He’s asking a favor they do not understand. Even …
Sunday Update
Another beautiful day. Cold. Windy. I actually have the windows open. Good church this morning. Worship was good, and the word. One of our elders taught and he exhorted us to love one another, not judge, reminding us we are all individuals before the Lord. Song of Solomon 6:9 says, “But my dove, my perfect one, is unique. She is …
Georgia On Her Mind
I have a title! I’m so excited. The Steeple Hill Cafe team is brilliant. “Georgia On Her Mind” is the title for my upcoming release. In stores near you August ’06. Now to make the story as brilliant. 😉 I like Macy’s story a lot, I do. Even for one who’s read and edited it about five times now. Krista’s …
Transendent Beauty of the Divine
Midnight. Sitting in the bath tub. Reading. Relaxing. Gotta go to bed, but just one more page. The book is Marian Keyes “The Other Side of The Story.” One of her characters, Lily, has fallen in love with a beautiful house, but she knows they can’t afford it. She says, “It’s like coming face-to-face with the transendent beauty of the …
So beautiful today
Wow! Today is so beautiful. Absolutely. I love it. I’ve had the top down on the car for three days. Opened the house, flicked on the ceiling fans, shut off the air. So nice. So nice. Fell asleep in Tony’s chair pondering a dream I had a few nights ago. All kinds of symbols. I need revelation from the Lord …
I’m making chili
Yeah, it’s one of the few things I make. Chili. We’ll have a bowl and watch the Final Four. What a nice Saturday night. Last night at our Fire Dweller prayer meeting, I shared my Awake Sleeper word as a focus for prayer. Don exhorted the room after me saying that Zion’s afternoon prayer meeting centered on the same Awake …
When I was in 7th Grade
My P.E. teacher, Miss Somebody, wrote in my autograph book (hey, it was in ’73) “You could be a real star if you apply yourself.” Ah! What? Meany. That pissed me off. But deep down, I knew what she meant. I sandbagged. Did the minimum required. I could have been a great basketball player if I tried harder. But I …
Awake O Sleeper
I awoke because someone shook the bed, as if standing at the foot and pressing hard on the mattress several times. It couldn’t be Tony moving around, or Jack who sleeps at our feet. It was too strong, too distinct.I got up to go to the bathroom, half expecting an angel on the way. Goose bumps ran over my scalp …
