I moved to a new town at the end of 2020. Moving in your 50s can be a bit daunting. Would I make friends? Where would we go to church? Would my grown kids want to come home to a place that had never been home to them? Would I start a new career, hobby or further my education? So […]
Do you remember using Johnson’s detangling spray when you were little? If you were a girl growing up in the late 70’s, early 80’s, with long hair, then you can probably smell it right now just by reading these words. Without that spray my hair was a tangled, hot mess and a brush was the enemy. However, when the detangler […]
This small 10 X 10 canvas holds much weight. In fact, as I prayed, painted, worshipped and followed Holy Spirit’s lead, I felt the full weight of Glory. He spoke directly to my heart and expressed His message through my hand and onto this canvas pouring out a specific anointing on this particular piece. These are some of the words […]
These pour paintings have been a messy, marvelous, new adventure! No paintbrush comes into play and I have very little control as to what the design turns out to be. I get to choose my colors, dump the paint on a canvas and tilt the canvas until the surface and sides are covered. I splattered a few more color highlights […]
If we look for dirt, we will find it. If we look for GOLD, we will find that too. Which filter is our normal go-to?

The symphony of sights and sounds Cascading from the clouds. The golden glow of Glory Makes the Master Painter proud. When ray and rain collide Light decides to […]
Loyalty, it seems to be A trait we covet when we see. But Loyalty to Whom? At the end of the day If I cannot say, that Jesus took my breath away; Then my loyalty was nothing more than hypocrisy. The Bible shows a motley crew, of faithful friends and schemers too. A loyal friend will not last […]
I am currently co-authoring a book with one of my favorite friends, Kaitlin Chappell Rogers. We are from two different generations and we have hosted several podcast episodes of our conversations about everything under the sun. This book originated out of the overflow of these vulnerable discussions. In listening back to these heart-to-hearts, we realize the timeless and priceless value […]
Looking back through a 30-year-old lens gives me clarity bathed in gold dust. I pray you leave this post a little richer and that you are inspired to go on a hindsight treasure hunt of your own. 30 Takeaways From the 30th High-School Reunion: 1) Hindsight is NOT actually 20/20. 2) All of our filters are fractured and fresh. 3) […]
Have you ever been hooked on a feeling? I have! In fishing terminology, “take” is when the fish actually becomes “hooked.” But a fish is not “caught” until it is “landed,” prevented from escape.
