But you, Lord, are a shield that protects me, you are my glory and the one who restores me. Psalms 3:3 NET Several months ago, I had attended a gathering that had an ice breaker that required all attendees to respond aloud to: “What superhero would you be and why?” Don’t you just love those […]
Do you see her? Way in the back … she’s almost undetected. I took a walk through my garden earlier today to take in a few treasured moments of fresh air in the light of the afternoon sunshine. It’s summer in Southern California, which means most florals are in bloom. In our backyard, it’s a […]
We know that God works to help those people who love him. He uses everything that happens to them to bring something good. He does this for those people that he has chosen to serve him. Romans 8:28 EASY If you would have told me that when I was a child, I probably would have […]

It was a warm autumn day when I sat outside of our office suite, savoring my chimichanga del mar for lunch — my fave craving during this latent phase of my pregnancy — when I looked up into that blue sky and asked GOD what He wanted me to do after this third baby was […]
