My mother used to tell me that as you grew older, time went faster. If only she were still here to impart more of her wisdom -- because she certainly had that one right! It has not only been one of my busiest seasons of life, this time of my life is literally speeding by. …
Testing faith…
Yesterday one of our pastors gave a really beautiful sermon. He started with two questions: Do I believe that God is Sovereign; andIf so, does my life reflect that I believe God is? So what does that mean, exactly? I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.Revelations 22:13 God is the beginning and the …
We all have a chair…
I've had the opportunity to attend a six-week overview of Romans through my church. That's a pretty aggressive thing to try to do in six-weeks. Romans takes time. It's truly a condensed version of the whole of the Gospels, written by Paul. Martin Luther read it and it literally caused the Reformation (the founding of …
Why share our stories?
I had a friend announce on LinkedIn the other day that he accepted a job offer that will bring he and his wife here to the Carolinas. I didn't hesitate in offering my congratulations and letting him know he should reach out once they land so we can all do dinner and Frank and I …

Second chances…
As I sit here enjoying my cup of coffee I am feeling particularly thankful this morning. Life, overall, is going pretty well. Work is busy, but that's not a bad thing - challenging - but not bad. Home is good - but then being married to Frank has been a pretty great ride all along. …
Just the motivation I need…
St. Kitts/Nevis, BVI Frank and I celebrated our 25th anniversary early in 2021. For such a milestone, it was a little of a let down. Covid put a damper on the ability to travel much, so I didn't spend 2020 making any grand plans other than what was in my mind. Turns out, my bestie …
My happy place…
The Writing Room I am back home after a week on the road in Houston. I was tired yesterday after working, waiting on the plane and actually flying home. Once home I spent a little time with Frank and Kenzie, changed into my night clothes and then watched some mindless TV until I fell asleep …
