"[ The Magnificat: Mary’s Song of Praise ] Mary responded, “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! For the Mighty One is holy, and he has done great things for me." Luke 1:46-47, 49 As I start to look towards 2017 and think about my goals for… Continue reading A Time of Reflection …

Single in the Church
When I was a little girl, I had two baby dolls and they were named “Darlin’ and Sweet Darlin’”. They were my babies. If you asked me what I was going to be when I grew up I would have probably told you either a mama or a singer. Then on some days… Continue reading Single in the Church
The Song in the Night
As the smoke literally dissipated throughout Knoxville last night and the sun rose, I had one song lyric running through my mind before I ever looked at my phone to see who won the presidential election. My hope is in the name of the Lord. As I read the results and was absolutely stunned by what… Continue reading The Song in the Night
Season of Thanks: A Prayer and Two Dreams
In honor of Dr. Billy Graham's 98th birthday today, I am sharing the prayer/poem that his wife Ruth Bell Graham wrote in her teens about the man she hoped to marry someday. The Man I Prayed For Dear God, I prayed, all unafraid (as we’re inclined to do), I do not need a handsome man… Continue reading Season of Thanks: A Prayer and Two Dreams
Season of Thanks: A Letter
To Whom It May Concern: Ha ... that's a little formal sounding coming from me but I did something different this time and decided to write to you, my dear husband, on my blog versus in the journal that has been set aside for your eyes only. (And I am saving my special term of… Continue reading Season of Thanks: A Letter
Lady Edith and I
"Where one story ends another begins." I knew something was coming as I could sense I would be sharing this story for several weeks now but I couldn't imagine how I would be telling it nor how I was to be this open with everyone, therefore, I chose to keep my mouth shut and not… Continue reading Lady Edith and I
So Hacked
A week ago Friday I received an email from Christian Mingle, letting me know that my profile update had been approved. I thought that was funny as I hadn’t submitted any changes to my profile. I figured that was their attempt at getting me back on the site as I had been pretty MIA that… Continue reading So Hacked
Mirror, Mirror
As I am sitting here waiting to get my oil changed, I am thinking through the last blog I posted. Blogging can be a catch 22. You never know how people will read and receive what you write. No matter how many times you edit or rephrase something then someone can still take misunderstand what… Continue reading Mirror, Mirror
Not Now Mingle
I pretty much have come to the conclusion that I am screwed up. Ha! Well, I mean we all are in some way or another but having never really dated I don’t know how to relax and just enjoy the process. I question everything I say and do and figure it’s probably the wrong thing anyway.… Continue reading Not Now Mingle
When Good Intentions Are Wrong: Part 2
So maybe this is more of an update than a part two but you all should know that I am still on Christian Mingle. However, my whole outlook has completely changed in the past week. I'm not looking to find someone instead it has actually been more about getting myself out of my comfort zone… Continue reading When Good Intentions Are Wrong: Part 2
