I do hope they are encouraging to you as this new week begins. ~ Teri Lynne} Several months ago I pondered the question ... "What if submission begins with simply being polite?"

Eleven years ago at 6:30 am, I was hooked up to an IV sitting happily in the maternity wing of Helen Keller Hospital in north Alabama. We'd arrived at the hospital around 6:00 am to begin the next chapter of our lives ... parenting. I was all smiles and welcoming hugs for the 50+ friends and family who wandered in and out of the room that sweet Thursday morning. As I noshed on ice chips and took pictures with various people, I was blissfully unaware of how much my heart would grow at 1:04 ... [Read More]

I write often about my husband and our marriage. In fact, I had planned to just pick a post I'd shared previously and use it today ... but there were so many and each one brought me great joy to read again ... and reminded me again of the great blessing that is my husband.

LOL), I realize that first love, that flutter in my heart when he walked into the room, has grown deeper in ... [Read More]
Days of Small Things
Sometimes my life seems an endless repetition ... wake up, grab coffee, read, write, wake the girl, start laundry, wake the girl again, take out the dog, drink more coffee, take the girl to school, clean house, do laundry, play online, study, write, read, eat, remember that I need to decide what's for dinner, play with the puppy, shower - hopefully!, pick the girl up, help with homework, take the girl to dance, pick the girl up from dance, fix dinner, clean up the kitchen, get the girl to bed, ...
