"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit." Romans 8:5 Good morning, my friends. I pray you wake with this morning with a mind that is set on "the things of the Spirit." I heard someone say, "I used to say oh God, it's morning, now I say good morning God!" I think it was Wynona Judd as she spoke of her life transformation.So this morning I say "Good morning God." My story this morning is the tale of a Monday afternoon, a late afternoon, as I was trying to get "all my ducks in a row" as my Mom says. Monday nights are my yoga night at Susan G Komen. To leave at 6:00 pm on any given night is quite a task..dinner to be done beforehand and homework done (one of the two happened, they ate atleast..smile). However, there was one thing I had not done and that was, buy a yoga mat. Yes, I had been out and about w...

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." John 14:27" Good Sunday morning. It is September 11, 2011, ten years after the tradgedy and loss of more than three thousand lives.

These "others" were left with a change of circumstances, in just a moment. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend. With the cooler weather, we have taken full advantage of our patio. When summer began the flowers out there were so beautiful. Rows of white and pink impatiens, pots of red and white petunias and yellow lantana. . By August, my days were busier and they got watered less and less. This is a nice way of saying, the sun scorched them and I forgot to water!! However, we are about to begin a new season, so mums and p...

" Pray without ceasing " 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Tonight I am sharing a story and asking for prayer for a prayer request.... Here goes... We left early on Friday afternoon to Smith Lake to enjoy some sunshine and Alabama Football! Our friends, the Hengers, also joined us as their lakehouse is being remodeled. My very favorite time at the lake is (you probably already guessed) early morning. The sunrise there is beautiful, always. The water was still and I so enjoyed my reading and writing time. Ahhh...And the stillness before all the little peeps arise and begin the questions...can we swim yet, can you take us on a golf cart ride, can we make cinammon rolls? So after we made the cinammon rolls, rode on the golf cart..it was around 9:30 am. I was still in my PJ's and we were sitting around talking, watching the kids from the window, as I drank yet another cup of coffee. We heard the four of them come screaming (which is not unusual) and Abby and Sophia were saying at ...
