We have just slipped through yet another fly by weekend.
I have long ago given up trying to figure out where the moments go or how I might somehow capture them in my mind for retrieval when I have time to really savor them.
The best that I can hope is that somehow they will be recorded somewhere on my MacBook.
I take billions of pictures of every little thing as if by cramming precious time onto a tiny disk, I might somehow keep it in my possession.
This weekend had some of those moments.
Saturday morning at 6am started us off with our ministry “Walk for Life” captured here at “Billy’s Captures” by our awesome ministry friend and REAL photographer, Billy Waller.
Billy is computer brainy enough to even share the precious story shared by a ministry client. She came oh so close to making a memory that would take a lifetime to forget. Instead, she made a choice that will take a lifetime to thank God for. I invite you to listen. You will be touched as we all were.
Honey and I spent the rest of the afternoon just hanging out and ended the day sitting in rockers………..
watching cardinals and doing nothing!!
After church on Sunday my wonderful man made the spontaneous offer to to take drive to the beach.
“Spontaneous” is not an everyday word for my Honey. I did not give him time to think about it too much before I had two beach towels, two books and two bottled waters in the car….
And of course, my camera, just so I would not forget a moment…..
“I pick up my sisal bag. The sand sifts softly under my feet…..
Christmas music started playing in my house yesterday!! As I started to put away Fall decorations and drag out my Christmas ones my stereo helped to usher in the holiday change. There is a Christmas song by Faith Hill that I love that begins with these words: “Teenage girl, much…
This past year has been a ministry journey that has been unparalleled in my life up until now. That is not to say that it has been the BEST year of my life or the MOST Valuable year. That spot is reserved for my 33 years of marriage to a…
“Final Story” for this “Imagine Me” event anyway… Beyond that, I just can’t promise. God is just doing such cool things I can’t keep quiet! I know my previous titles have been “Getting Naked with Ps 139” but some of my blog readers (AKA-MY CHILDREN !) have been a bit…
I have always expected magic at Christmas. When I was a little girl growing up in a Savannah, Ga home with 3 younger sisters, our Mom and Dad knew how to do Christmas! We would wake up on Christmas morning to find our living room converted into a magical toy…
There have been many seasons during my walk with God that I have felt that my life was spinning out of control. From the moment that I clearly understood my salvation, who God is and who I am, I have sincerely endeavored to follow His call on my life. There…
At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: ‘When not interfered with by outside…

Oh…how did the walk go?? I’ve been thinking about you all day! So glad you and Honey were able to slip away for some time at the beach. And I love “Gifts from the Sea”. Love YOU.
Oh I can’t wait to sink my toes into the white sandy beaches of Florida this summer. My grandparents have a family cabin on Inlet Beach just outside of Sand Destin. I love it there, and have many, many memories on that beach…… Aw thanks for the visual with your pictures.
