How about a little fun with tongue twisters? Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he? If a dog chews shoes, whose shoes does he choose? I thought I thought of thinking of thanking you. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck… Continue reading The Solution to the Struggle

A Sign of Hope
The Wolf Man. A man bitten by a wolf. Now, when there is a full moon, the man turns into a wolf. His curse? Here is a man dreading the brightness of the full moon. The sight does something that transforms him into a monstrous beast. When he awakens in the morning, he does not… Continue reading A Sign of Hope
Childlike Wonder
Welcome to Faith Connections Friday! There is just something about little ones. They are so precious. I love watching them laugh, play, and just be silly. They are loving, forgiving, trusting, and full of life. Jesus called children “at the very center of life in the kingdom” (Mark 10:13-16, MSG). I wonder why He said… Continue reading Childlike Wonder
Kindness to Friendship
Welcome to Connections2Excellence! Thank you so much for joining us! Okay, so I enjoy the old, classic scary movies, especially the ones with Abbott and Costello. To me, they are like watching “The Munsters,” another show I watched that was quite amusing. They were a family consisting of Frankenstein’s monster, vampires, and a werewolf. Daddy… Continue reading Kindness to Friendship
The Most Important Thing
Do you get distracted easily? Whew! I thought it was just me. I’m glad I’m not the only one. The most distractions come when I try focusing on something especially important to me—time in prayer and Bible study. Thoughts that definitely could wait a while inevitably come and remind me to do something today. So,… Continue reading The Most Important Thing
Draining Distractions
He’s charming, intriguing, hypnotizing. He’s sophisticated, a gentleman, and speaks in a way that is alluring. Yet, he only comes out at night, in the darkness. The mysterious Count Dracula may transform himself into a bat or a wolf. He fears the sun, garlic, and the cross. And he cannot be seen in a mirror.… Continue reading Draining Distractions
Off with the Old, On with the New
Some days wearing the old clothes just feels so good. The holey t-shirt. The oversized sweatshirt. The ragged jeans. The worn-out slippers. So cozy and comfortable. The familiar scent. The sentimental memories. Just makes you feel so warm and comfy. Then the day comes when you have to make a decision to get rid of… Continue reading Off with the Old, On with the New
Removing the Bandages
When I was a child, my sister and I would stay up with my father watching the classic movies. Not just any black and white vintage movies. The scary movies from the 1930s-1950s. To me, no one is a better Dracula than Bela Lugosi. Only Boris Karloff perfectly portrays the Mummy and Frankenstein. And the… Continue reading Removing the Bandages
The Power of Presence
Image: WordPress One thing challenging for centuries is staying connected. This year we find connections even more challenging. A song we may sing to our sweetie is, “I’ll Be There,” by Jackson 5. It expresses assurance the person will be present for the other as a source of comfort and strength and provide unselfish love… Continue reading The Power of Presence
Lessons Through the Flood
I love the rain. It’s so cozy when you can stay indoors and watch the raindrops and listen to them land on the roof and windows. So peaceful. Sometimes, however, too much rain causes unrest and not so much peace. Flooding. Disruption. Detours. Setbacks. A recent day trip proved this point. We drove a couple… Continue reading Lessons Through the Flood
