It happened years ago on a busy two-lane road that was a major thoroughfare from south to north Phoenix. My husband, Bill, was driving home from work in his small two-door pickup truck and had stopped at a red light. He looked in his rear view mirror and saw a car coming in the distance […]
A Near Miss
Life comes into perspective with a close call on a rain swept highway It was cold, windy, and raining like crazy, but we had tickets for a play in downtown Atlanta and reservations at a fabulous French restaurant. It was going to be a memorable Sunday afternoon for all the girls in my Atlanta […]
With a grateful heart
God continues to lead and provide for Just Moved Ministry As I reflect on this year with Just Moved Ministry, I am reminded of the scripture, “…Mary quietly treasured these things in her heart and often thought about them.” (Luke 2:19 TLB) I often think about the many ways God continues to bless our ministry […]
Staying Power for the Holidays
Every morning when I turn off the alarm clock, I glance over at a little pad of post-notes sitting on my bedside table that are imprinted with two words: “Stay Thoughtful.” Every morning these two words start my day.

I recently spent a weekend with a friend at her farm to enjoy cool weather, a change of scenery, and some down time before my busy fall schedule began.

When the […]
Knee deep in lemonade and life lessons
I wrote this timeless blog years ago about the summer adventures of my grandchildren and the things I learned from them and about them during our time together. Time has flown by so fast. Now, one is in college, one just graduated from high school, and four range from a freshman to a senior in […]
The Men in My Life
As you can imagine, I have faced numerous home and yard maintenance challenges over the years since Bill died. He was a great handyman fixer-upper. I learned a lot about the basic how-to’s from Bill, and can still hear his voice explaining the way to fix things. For the most part, I will either seek […]
Kindness in a Cup
It was one of those unexpected encounters on an ordinary, uneventful morning. I took my oldest granddaughter to a southern landmark restaurant for breakfast when I was in Atlanta visiting family and friends. It was a no-frills, down-home, country-cooking, everything-is-better-with-bacon-biscuits-and-butter kind of place. The blackened, aged grill was sizzling with eggs, bacon, ham, and sausage, […]
