Many years ago I was part of a women’s group that typically met once a month for Bible study and fellowship. Our leader was an older woman with the precious gift of hospitality. She had a gracious heart and made each one of us feel welcome in her home. Sometimes I was drawn more to Read More …

Leaving Goshen
When I arrived in Goshen five years ago, I believed it would be for a short time frame. God had prepared me for the move one month prior but did not indicate the length of my stay. God’s reason for sending me back to Indiana was unknown, but I trusted Him to provide all that Read More …
Encounter
I stopped at Buddy’s BBQ in Oak Ridge for the Tuesday night special on December 20, 2016. As usual on Tuesday nights, the line was backed up to the door. I squeezed in and then became aware of a man behind me who had managed to enter the door as well. Since the line was Read More …
Small World
I continued to attend Grace Community Church in Goshen following Scott’s move to heaven. In late January 2012, I received an email from the church secretary regarding an elderly member whose husband had recently passed away. Her daughter in Fort Wayne was concerned about her and had asked if anyone in the church could talk Read More …
Invitation
Recently during my quiet time with the Lord I was reading I John 5, seeking His guidance about a specific issue, when I received a vision.

Memories
The mimosa trees are in bloom everywhere here in Tennessee. I associate those fuzzy pink clusters with my memories of Aunt Ora. She was a quilter, a good cook, and a storyteller of the early days in the family. Her hair was white all the years I knew her and she had a quiet gentle Read More …
Bells
Scott could take my breath away with the stroke of a pen or a simple gesture. Sometimes his ideas surprised me unexpectedly. While browsing through Christmas decorations in a local store, he stopped in front of the garland. I was looking at the ornaments on display, aware of him in my peripheral vision. I heard Read More …
Wizard of Oz
Scott expressed his love for me creatively through gifts, surprises, and his beautiful words. He also graciously accompanied me on outings to places that held no particular interest for him. One such excursion was the annual Wizard of Oz Festival in Chesterton, Indiana. How I loved that movie as a child! If you missed the Read More …
Model Truck
Those of you who have read my book are familiar with “Joe”. I shared his story and how our paths crossed at a vulnerable season in my life. I attached myself to him in an attempt to fill the emptiness in my soul, though he did not want that responsibility and had nothing to offer Read More …
Soles United
One day in 2007 I received a message from Scott. He wanted me to email a picture of my left foot flat on the floor, taken from the right side. No explanation, just a simple request. After several attempts I was able to capture an acceptable image and waited in anticipation to see what he Read More …
