”All who heard the shepherds’ story were astonished, but Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often.“‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬ I think because it’s the Christmas season and so many of us are writing about Advent scriptures and themes, I have pondered longer this year on the idea of Mary storing … Continue reading I Wonder What’s Been Stored

I read the email Friday morning from Kate Motaung and saw that ‘turn’ is her word for us today. It’s the Five Minute Friday writing prompt for anyone who wants to write along. Come, join us! I read ‘turn’, and then my heart began to sing the refrain of this old hymn. Realizing I don’t … Continue reading Turn My Eyes Upon Jesus

I LOVE to dance! I always have. I can remember stacking records (45s remember?) on my record player, grabbing my hairbrush, lip-synching the lyrics, and dancing like Cher, in my South Florida bedroom.
