Carol Trahan. I went to a retreat a couple Autumns ago. Carol was the speaker. Each of the ladies in our church was tremendously blessed and convicted through her ministry. Her story is heartbreaking, but thankfully she doesn’t wallow there. She points us to Christ. My Pastor’s wife reviews her notes from this retreat often, [...]
…as thy days, so shall thy strength be. Deuteronomy 33:25 Many days are overwhelming. My heart cries, “I can’t do this anymore.” This verse is an excellent reminder to me that God knows what my days will bring. He gives me the strength for the day I face. “I can’t do [...]
I was just hired by my sister. Are you sitting down? To scrapbook! She doesn’t have time to make her baby girl’s scrapbook and scrapbooking is one of my favorite hobbies. She is going to pay me more than I asked her to pay. Since I have a little boy, I don’t get to make [...]
Today was a day of all three. I’m going to end with the good, just because I prefer to do that. The bad–a headache most of the day. The ugly–a brother in law’s call at 7:24 a.m. to tell me that I am a drain on the family. It went very down hill from there [...]

Alright now, this isn’t major as far as blessings go. It’s pretty cool though. Not one time in all these months, has anyone ever unexpectedly knocked on my door at night. Being alone is easier now, but it was very hard at first. I liked having my big strong husband home at night to take [...]
I drove past our old church yesterday. My father was the pastor there for 12 years. My husband and I were married there. As I drove by a picture flashed in my mind. My husband and I in our wedding attire standing at the top of the stairs laughing while the wind whipped my veil [...]
My sister in law says it’s just because I’m sensitive right now. Maybe. However, I’m amazed at all the joking references to jail I hear. A candy bar commercial, features a bubbly guy yelling, “I’m going to jail!”Cartoons make fun. Sitcoms make fun. I read a blog post the other day that included the [...]
So said the attorney a couple of years ago. He and I were sitting in the entry way of our county jail. This entry way is actually quite fancy. I always wondered how many tax dollars that cost. I was on my way in to visit my husband and our attorney was leaving. He asked [...]
Habakkuk 3:17-19 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, [...]
