First, thanks to The Well Armed Woman for the main image on this post! As I type this, we are in the midst of panic. The stores are all out of toilet paper (come on people, leave some for the rest of us, or just use a bidet or squirt/peri bottle and some family cloth),…

“If calamity comes…[we] will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us.” 2 Chronicles 20:9 I’ve been reading “God Hears Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women” this year. Today’s devotion was on valleys, the various valleys we walk through on our journeys through life, and how God walks with us,…

I’m always amazed at my ability to stay cool, calm, and collected in almost every situation. Back when I worked apprehending shoplifters, I would feel my adrenaline start to rise as I would prepare to stop the individual who was stealing from my store.

Stuff. It is everywhere. We’ve all got at least one “junk drawer.” Can’t find batteries? Check the junk drawer. Rubber band? Junk drawer. Paper clip? You guessed it, junk drawer. I am a person who finds stuff to be overwhelming. When things are piled up, disorganized, just STUFF everywhere, I get anxious, frustrated, short with…

Our local herd of deer neighbours have been quite busy going back and forth along the path on the edge of the property this past week. There are five of them, and it’s a few young bucks, the mama doe, and some younger females. They are gorgeous to behold, and Little Man just gets so…

Well…this seemed like the never-ending week. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I felt like Friday was never going to get here; Monday was extremely long for me. This was an interesting week in the world: Trump was acquitted of his impeachment charges in the Senate on Wednesday, SOTU was Tuesday night,…
