The Reason We Celebrate
The variety in this beautiful world is amazing to me. The differences in people, animals, plants, and snowflakes. Each is unique, individual. No two are the same. Though they may appear the same, they are different in some way. Faces, shapes, colors, personalities. All beautiful. It is a characteristic that we can embrace and enjoy.… Continue reading The Reason We Celebrate
Uniquely You
The Master Teacher
Welcome to Faith Connections Friday! Thank you for joining me today as we connect life to faith. There are a couple of characteristics of master teachers that come to mind. They are tenderness and trustworthiness. Initially, the master teacher makes a point to know each student. Strengths and weaknesses. Passions, goals, and interests. The level… Continue reading The Master Teacher

They discovered that we had things in common, and they encouraged and supported me.

Thanksgiving also signifies the one day a year I actually enjoy going to the mall--Black Friday! Silly me, I love going to a busy mall, scouring the… Continue reading How Could I Ask for More?
Do You Hear What I Hear?
Welcome back to Faith Connections Friday! We focus on connecting a life of pursuing excellence with faith. Distractions abound. Society, culture, and commitments demand our attention. We hear so many voices and have so many choices, we easily get confused as to which is correct. With all that surrounds you, how do you take time… Continue reading Do You Hear What I Hear?
Precious Peace
The world is full of chaotic moments and circumstances. We find ourselves going busily here and there, hardly without time to stop and breathe. Someone demands a moment of our time, and it turns into minutes and interferes with our next appointment. Meetings, phone calls, activities--there seems to be no end. Amid these moments, we… Continue reading Precious Peace
