We only lived in this house a few years before moving to Northern California, but the Joy of it is forever etched upon my heart. A permanent fixture to the picture God was beginning to write of my life.

And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.” Matthew 14:35, 36
In late September of 2010, it was a Sunday or Monday evening. My husband and I were roused from our usually evening routine by the voice of one of Continue reading
PB and J
I love how the Lord stirs His Spirit in me and directs me on what to write. For the past five days or more I keep finding my thoughts, at random moments, drift to the idea of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
