"My God is so big, So strong and so mighty, There's nothing my God cannot do ... The mountains are His, The rivers are His, The stars are His handiwork too. My God is so big, So strong and so mighty, There’s nothing my God cannot do.” (Listen to the VeggieTales version here.) The story… Continue reading My God is So Big …

Our Wonderful Counselor
Welcome to Faith Connections Friday! As we connect this holiday season to our faith, we will take a look at four names of God in Isaiah 9:6. The first name is Wonderful Counselor. Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He said it was necessary that He leave so the Helper (the Holy Spirit) could come. One… Continue reading Our Wonderful Counselor
Simple Gratitude
A simple thank you card. A handwritten note saying, “You’re the Best.” An anonymous gift on someone’s desk. A hot beverage just because. A brief conversation to catch up. Gratitude. We have so much for which we can express thankfulness. Many organizations are focusing on expressing appreciation to their employees with thoughtful acts of kindness.… Continue reading Simple Gratitude
Blessings in Boldness

Precious memories. Bittersweet—a mixture of sadness and happiness. Now I share him with his new bride to be. Another one… Continue reading Preparing for New Beginnings
Master Painting
Fall is my favorite season. Fall brings sweaters, a crispness in the air, burning fireplaces, hayrides, and hot chocolate. It is time the earth begins to rest for a season, and then more beauty begins to emerge. As you can probably guess, I love the mountains, especially in the fall. The beauty of the changing… Continue reading Master Painting
Confessions of an Amateur Painter
I am definitely not a painter. My idea of painting something somewhat similar to the desired image is using a beginner’s paint-by-number kit. However, during a team-building activity, our department decided to paint our own masterpiece—freehand. Great. Surprisingly, after this activity, I was quite pleased with the result. Why? Our artist instructor was sensitive to… Continue reading Confessions of an Amateur Painter
Goodness in the Beauty
Recently, my husband and I drove part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. I grew up in Dallas, so when we honeymooned in Asheville, North Carolina, I was in awe. The awe continues, especially since I now live close to the mountains. They are inspirational. We stopped at a trail for a short hike and to… Continue reading Goodness in the Beauty
Unexplainable Joy
Joy is inner, unexplainable, delightful peace. It’s quiet. It’s calming. It’s resting. It’s uplifting. Joy is a gift from God. It is fruit of the Spirit. Joy is recognizing the blessings of God and finding delight. As we proclaim our thankfulness to God for the gifts He so willingly and abundantly bestows upon His children,… Continue reading Unexplainable Joy
