Engaged and Attentive

I had three years of class in the Spanish language. There was a time when I was able to hold down a conversation in Spanish. However, today if we would have a conversation in Spanish, I would only grasp some words here or there. I don’t think being able to say “door” and “window” will … Continue reading Engaged and Attentive →

Your Best, Not Their Best

Over the years, I am sure you have heard people recommend what other people like, what others people use, what other people do, etc. We live in a world of comparison and a world of “I know best.” I grew up watching aerobic workout videos I tried to complete to stay fit, only to get … Continue reading Your Best, Not Their Best →

They Matter Nothing

It seems everyone wants to point out the differences of others. Rather than acknowledging, respecting, and admiring each other and our differences, many people take aim to use our differences against us. There is this constant battle with politics and the media to point out our differences and to put us in a race war … Continue reading They Matter Nothing →

I Love My AquaTru Water

I know people who don’t drink water but on rare occasions. Understand that when you read this post, that I … Continue reading I Love My AquaTru Water →

Original Intent

A few weeks ago, I got into a theological conversation with some young ladies on the street while dog walking with my neighbor. I was on Main Street enjoying the evening sun when I noticed the sisters and said hello, not knowing that these women were on a mission to share the Good News. As … Continue reading Original Intent →

You Reap What You Sow

This concept of reaping what you sow has been around forever because it’s how life works. We read about it in the Bible in Galatians 6:7, but we can also see it in the simplicity of gardening. This year, I decided to plant green beans for my daughter’s Russian tortoise and my dogs. I probably … Continue reading You Reap What You Sow →

Brief Hiccups Along the Way

I don’t get hiccups often; however, life hiccups happen more than I would like in my life. A few months ago, I was excited to share my journey of Second Half, Best Half, along with continuing to share Daily Good Devotions. I was rested, pumped, and focused. Then I got COVID-19 and things halted. All … Continue reading Brief Hiccups Along the Way →

Revitalize

In my mid thirties, I began to notice that I was fighting a losing battle. Despite going to the gym and trying to “eat right,” I was not losing weight, and had in fact gained weight. My energy level was horrible. When I finished work for the day, it was hard to stay awake when … Continue reading Revitalize →

Completion in Him

When my children were young, we often would create things. We made towers and fortresses with blocks, we designed buildings, cars, and creatures with LEGO pieces. We used various mediums to create art pieces, even going as far as to paint on ourselves. It was always fun having our creative juices flowing. There was more … Continue reading Completion in Him →

Second Half, Best Half

Life is certainly a crazy journey, filled with seasons that you do not necessarily realize you are navigating until you end up in the next one. I have spent this great journey trying to improve upon my life with a focus on physical, mental, and spiritual growth. I have no regerts. At the end of … Continue reading Second Half, Best Half →
