Most biographies don’t allow enough words to share everything about yourself, especially in a guest blog post or something like that. Of the many things I’d love others to know, one is that I enjoy taking nature pictures.
I share them on Instagram and Facebook. My mom suggested I make sure I have hard copies of the pictures. I have only used my phone camera, so the pix have always been my Galaxy at the time, or currently, my iPhone 8. Each Christmas I present her with the year’s worth of pictures I took.
While I organized them for her, there were a few that stood out. I thought I would share them here.
August 2017, Highway Tabernacle in Youngstown. I finished up a book club meeting on the property and turned toward the church. The sun was setting, and this just is peaceful to me.This was the eclipse in NE Ohio. I closed my eyes and took a series of pictures. I couldn’t believe any turned out.

The thick, leathery tome Heather pulled out of the dusty cardboard box was definitely coming home with her. Not only was The Gentlewoman’s…
It’s been a blessing to not only have Entrusted out for the public to find, but for colleagues to share it. Entrusted has been a few places lately, and I thought you might like to visit those places and leave a comment. As always, I have a link for all the places that featured Entrusted…
It’s Word Full Wednesday! This is a day to post a verse from the Bible that God is speaking to you about for the purpose of giving Him glory. Make sure you link up at the Internet Cafe. Just as I blogged last week, my verse this week comes from reading Lysa TerKeurst’s Made to…
I promised God that when I started writing no matter what I’d be transparent and honest. Saturdays are all about my Character Confession and so here it is. Summer vacation is days away. I think. I’ve heard 5 different versions of when the last day is. I wouldn’t care except I…
All this month I will be watching on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and my new subscribers for my monthly-0r-so newsletter.

Yesterday was World Mental Health Day and I came across this at the bottom of my LinkedIn page. I know the Mess had … and my guess is it means I have messages. But me and 2024? I feel like it’s been a green light for the hot mess express. I’ve shared over the years…
