For years, I had a friend tell me “Look, just because you’re skinny, doesn’t mean you’re healthy.” And you know what? My friend was right. I barely exercised and my diet needed some major tweaking. I could fool a lot of people, but I couldn’t fool my friend. This friend knew me well, knew my […]

We were celebrating my husband’s parents 50th wedding anniversary, when my oldest son asked the million dollar question. “So, over the past 50 years, what has been your favorite season of life?” Without hesitation, mom answered, “Right now!” Really? I was expecting to hear, “When the kids were small” or “When those adorable little grandkids […]

Over a decade ago, my friend organized a “bone marrow donor” drive to help save her friend’s little boy. He had been diagnosed with cancer, and was in need of a bone marrow transplant. They needed to find a “match” for him. My friend was informed the chances of finding a match might be higher […]

Over the past year, we have had major appliance after major appliance break down in our home (see devotion from Feb 1). Our kitchen vent hood, refrigerator, microwave, and even our garage door – all needed to be replaced or repaired!  With the passing of each appliance (and the huge purchase of a new one) […]

He initiated the conversation, and he was beyond transparent. Without my husband or I even asking, our friend told us everything…and it wasn’t pretty. My stomach was in knots.  As he went through the details, all I could think of is, how does someone get themselves into this kind of situation?  2 Samuel 11:1 came […]

In Titus 2:5, Paul encourages older women (that’s me ) to teach younger women (that might be you) how to ‘stay busy’ or as some translations put it, ‘maintain a home’…and girls, part of maintaining a home might involve a little cooking.  So, if you’re in need of a South Indian dinner idea, and you […]

My refrigerator has been having issues. The temperature is inconsistent and the water dispenser is glitchy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. My husband has changed out the filter, called a repairman and Googled how to fix it- but no luck (first world problems, I know).  So…until we get the issue resolved (or get a new […]

I have the best team! I sincerely appreciate what every one of my coworkers brings to the table.  Our most recent hire came to us with no previous pharmacy experience, BUT he had energy and a desire to learn. So we brought him on!  Every day, he shows up, on time and ready to work.  […]

My son motioned goodbye to the guys from the gym. He managed to keep himself together…until the car door closed. That’s when he began to sob. He had fractured his leg and he was in excruciating pain- both physically and emotionally.  Just before heading to the ER, I called my sister. She began to pray […]

If you lost your sense of taste, what would you be willing to do to get it back? This past Thanksgiving, after a recent bout with Covid, my younger son found himself in that predicament. On the biggest feasting day of the year, he couldn’t taste.  Like most teenage boys, my son loves food…so this […]
