This is about choices. We all are able to, and indeed should make, many important choices in our lives. We can try to go through life never making any great, personal decisions. Actually, it's pretty easy, isn't it? And then we can blame everybody else for our confusion, and fear, and uncertainty. I prefer to … Continue reading Choices
The Ultimate Project
I recently changed the subtitle of my blog from "Reflections of an Army Wife" to "Reflections of a Hopeful Woman." I did that because it has been a year since my husband retired after 37 years of exemplary and faithful service from the United States Army. I didn't feel I could continue using the "Army … Continue reading The Ultimate Project

It's with your heart And with your life- That's how you worship Him. It's not just words, It's not just deeds; But you go out on a limb. You trust and then you take a 'chance,' But it's not a chance at all. Because when you take that leap of faith, He'll catch you as … Continue reading Untitled
A challenge for teens…
I wrote this specifically for teens. Young people so want to be included, to not stand out, to be part of 'the group,' which ever group they have decided upon. The gauge as to what is acceptable or cool, or the 'in' place to be is so elusive and ever changing. But wanting to belong … Continue reading A challenge for teens…
Love one another; forgive one another
I am a hopeful person. I have this hope because of the Lord God, Jesus Christ our Savior, and the Holy Spirit who dwell within me. Hope brings much joy and peace which are awesome 'benefits' of that theological virtue! But amidst my hope these days, I find it increasingly difficult to find Christ in … Continue reading Love one another; forgive one another
The Lamb
As we approach Palm Sunday and the final days of this Lenten season, I thought it was time to share this poem I wrote several years ago... Can you see Him? He's there with that angry mob. No, he's not he menacing one. He's the peaceful One, the serene One, the holy One. He's gentle … Continue reading The Lamb
Ups and downs
Life's journey has many ups and downs, as we all know. But we need the valleys to appreciate the mountaintops, right? We not only need them, we should be grateful for them. That sounds strange. Why would we want to be in a desolate, dark place ever? Who wouldn't rather be in the glorious sunshine … Continue reading Ups and downs
Words From A Little Child
Here's a poem I wrote as a gift for a friend many years ago. I gave it to her as part of the gift at her baby shower for baby #1. And I have shared it since with my own daughter when she was expecting her first baby! Kind of 'advice from the kid before … Continue reading Words From A Little Child
Read it and weep
Emily Zanotti's report (link below) reveals the terrible changes in New York's penal code with regard to babies who are murdered because of the new abortion law in New York State. It was until a few days ago considered a double murder if someone killed a pregnant woman and her unborn child suffered the same … Continue reading Read it and weep
Words
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue..." - Proverbs 18:21 I've been thinking a lot about words lately. It seems to me that a lot of people have forgotten that words have definitive meaning and that's what makes us able to effectively communicate with one another. Language is crucial to the continuation … Continue reading Words
