Permission People
“When I was a little girl, I used to dream as a man, because I wanted to do things that women didn’t do back then such as traveling to Africa, living with wild animals, and writing books. I didn’t have any female explorers or scientists to look up to but I was inspired by Dr.…

One Day, Adam
I’m considering taking my book, “When God Got His Hands Dirty” off my Amazon shelf, dusting it off and making some changes. I wrote that book with my middle school students in mind and now I’d like to adjust it for a wider audience and maybe see if I can sell it through a more…

Welcome to the Breakdown, the Shakedown
My daughter is a musician and artist. She’s the Worship Pastor at the church that she helped start. When she graduated high school she felt led to go to college and study to be a missionary.

I See You
I have always felt that I had a connection with animals. As a kid, I remember seeing birds, squirrels, and stray cats and trying to catch their eye. When they looked at me, no matter how far away, I’d whisper, “I see you.” I love looking at trees full of leaves and seeing that one…

What I Don’t Know
From time to time I will include journal entries or old blog posts because I like them and I think you might like them, too. This is one from early 2020 at the beginning of CoVid. I was FaceTiming my daughter the other day and I managed to shut my mouth before I said something…

Relax In His Care
“He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of the deep waters.” ~Psalm 18:16 I have always loved the beach and the ocean. I love all the creatures of the sea, too, except for sharks and orcas. They really freak me out with the way they turn into…
