I’m not going to argue or defend any stance on modesty, especially what it means to a Christian woman. There are so many sides on that subject that gets people all heated up. I don’t want to go there because I can understand the different point of views. All I can share is what I […]
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
I’m fascinated with masks, the elegant and fantastical masks you’d wear at a masquerade ball. To attend a Christmas masquerade ball is actually on my bucket list. I know, it’s specific, but I love the trimmings and festivities of Christmas. Twinkling lights, colorful ornaments, wreaths, ribbons, and mistletoe. The unmistakable scent of an evergreen tree, hot […]
Single and Not Dating
I’m single and I’m not dating. Usually I say that with more aplomb with exclamation marks or grinning emoticons. But today I had a bout of loneliness. I don’t know why. It was a good day. I helped out, I ate comfort food, I got packages in the mail (I love getting snail non-junk mail). […]

My Purpose
At church today, we celebrated Pastor’s Appreciation, and it made me think about purpose. If you read my About page, you’ll get a glimpse into my background and my purpose. I say a glimpse because like I wrote in there, God’s thoughts and ways are higher than ours, and when I thought I knew my […]
What is Big?
Recently, an acquaintance asked me some getting-to-know-you-better questions. Concerning writing, he asked, “What big projects have you done?” Two points for a question nobody’s asked before. It was specific and would have given him an insightful information except for the fact that he was talking to me. I know he was either making small talk or […]
