For my birthday, my son and his new bride gave me some beautiful and thoughtful gifts. One that is especially precious is the birthday card. In addition to the card’s words, they each wrote a personal message. The words were personal, impactful, and perfect. And, yes, I cried. Why do I share this? It’s not… Continue reading An Impactful Blessing

Seize the Day!
Welcome to Connections2Excellence! Have an extraordinary day! When I was growing up, my mother would wake us up with her melodious singing. “Good morning! Time to rise and shine! Wake up!” (Don’t you love it when someone does that for you?—Not!) Of course, we would roll over, pull the covers over our heads, and try… Continue reading Seize the Day!

What Are We Going to Do Today, Lord?
Welcome to Faith Connections Friday! Do you look forward to each day with anticipation?

His presence. A friend… Continue reading What Are We Going to Do Today, Lord?
Living for Each Today
Writing (for me) in any form is therapy. I love journaling because I don’t have to care about correct grammar, punctuation, or making any sense whatsoever. It’s simply personal random thoughts, however they come into my silly little brain. Journaling has been an enjoyable, therapeutic habit for decades (though entries over the past few years… Continue reading Living for Each Today
Missed Time?
Welcome to Faith Connections Friday! How do you respond when someone is eager to spend time with you? Are you just as eager, or do you push them aside? Are you easily distracted with other tasks on your to-do list? Did you know that the Lord is eager to meet with you? When Jesus, the… Continue reading Missed Time?

So You Wanna Be Royal?
I admit it. I love watching chick flicks. Among my favorites are “Ever After” and the “Princess Diaries” series. Today we see children (and adults) fascinated about what it is like to be royalty. An ordinary person, or presumed ordinary, becomes royal. So, what does this mean? Aside from the elegant image one upholds, one… Continue reading So You Wanna Be Royal?
