How many of you have ever done this? You go into the grocery store for one item therefore you don’t grab a cart or basket. You procure your one item but grab something else you see that you needed. As you proceed toward the checkout you see 5 more items on sale and grab them…
Read moreIF I WERE YOU…
I wish I could start a petition to get two phrases banned from the English language: “IF I WERE YOU” (and another variation) “IF THAT HAPPENED TO ME I WOULD…” Thinking back over the past year and a half I have heard these phrases countless times from numerous people. Now before you tune me out,…
Read moreAnticipatory Fireworks
It’s the Fourth of July- the iconic holiday that brings us hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill, sweltering heat and, of course, fireworks. I really enjoy fireworks. I love the colors and the excitement that light up the sky. The booms and sounds give you such a festive, celabratory feeling. When you attend a fireworks…

I was recently listening to an Elevation Worship song called “More than Able”. Nestled toward the end of the song there is a bridge that is truly resonating in my spirit. The bridge states “He’s not done with me yet, He’s not done with my yet, there’s so much more to my story, He’s not…
Read moreI’m All Shook Up
I can relate to Elvis Presley’s song “I’m all Shook up’ but not in the context of the lovesick feeling that had him shaking. Recently I’ve felt everything around me was shaking, that nothing was grounded. I feel like I’ve been riding the teacup ride at the amusement park, but it is neither fun nor…

Do any of you have a black and white TV in your home? You are probably like me and have a gigantic QLED 4K HD television hanging on your wall. I have a smart TV with a zillion high definition colors. Our family got a color TV In the late 60’s or early 70’s. …
Read moreYOU CAN DO IT!!!
I was watching a Tik Tok last night that showed you how to deep clean your dishwasher. I thought I would give it a try. Disclaimer: I did have a plumber on speed dial just in case I couldn’t do it though. Thank you Megan and Stephen for being a phone call away and coming…
