Shortly after Lee was released from prison, he asked me for note cards.
I had a pile of them so I gave them to him. I didn’t ask what he needed them for, I figured he was using them for school.
A few weeks ago, I met him for dinner between work and school.  I sat in […]

I believe that praying Scripture can be a powerful way to pray.
Jesus used Scripture when he prayed. Matthew 4:1-11 (temptation in the wilderness)
Prayer is also part of our armor Ephesians 6:12-17. In this passage, there is no hint of failure. Only standing firm if we wear the armor.
When we pray, we pray in the name […]

Lee and I had a relaxing weekend together. We decided to forgo the sightseeing and did a lot of resting.
We haven’t slept in the same bed for over 3 years. It was delightful to sleep with my husband curled up next to me.
I was so thankful to be able to ride instead of driving in […]

Recently, Lee and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. Long ago, I planned that our 10 year anniversary would be big. Second honeymoon maybe? An anniversary band? Maybe even renewing our vows.
Somewhere along the line, I figured we’d never have a tenth anniversary.
We aren’t in any position to take a big trip, buy diamonds, […]

Lee went to see his parole officer last Friday. She has been a little easier to talk to and not as harsh as she was at first.
Lee handed her some information she asked for. I wrote it up for him and left it for him with a love note. He didn’t think […]

Hamburger Helper was on sale at our grocery store. I had coupons and it was double coupon day. I got 6 boxes of Hamburger Helper for $2.50 total.
I personally dislike this boxed item very much. We haven’t purchased Hamburger Helper in years, but Lee is eating real food now and he loves the stuff.
As I […]

In March, I wrote about my rose bushes. They bloomed this week.
I’m so excited. They are beautiful and they smell delightful. Every time I pull into the driveway I get a good look at them and smile.
Earlier this week, rain destroyed quite a few of the new blooms leaving the bush with frumpy parts. I […]

I think something is wrong with my eyes.
When I look at Lee, I see my husband, my friend, my man! I think he looks so good. It’s so wonderful to be able to see him out of his prison greens and in real clothing and settings other than the prison.
I took some photos of Lee […]

I mentioned that Lee got a new wedding band when he was first released.
I took a photo of it the other day. How blessed I was to have him help me at home and be able to touch his precious hands.

I saw this idea and wanted to practice it in case I ever get good […]

As Lee and I are adjusting to being together again, I’ve decided that shutting my mouth is one of the best marriage tools around!
I realized one day that I wanted to tell him (and tell him and tell him again) how to do or not do something. I bit my tongue (literally)  and prayed, “Ok […]
