We have just slipped through yet another fly by weekend.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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…..
Happy Wednesday Friend! Yes, I know I missed Tuesday 🙂 Christmas music, glistening lights, and busy malls are now the norm right?!! Today’s message does something to my heart. Every single time I read theses words and picture this young woman my heart melts faster than a Christmas candle. I…
I have known Suzanne (I call her Suzi) Eller for decades. At first our friendship was “from afar” as I followed her ministry to women as a new speaker and writer. Then, to my great joy, we met face to face. I will never forget the day. Suzie spoke a…
A post of my sweet little sister, Lysa Terkeurst a few days ago made me laugh! She was talking about the SIZE battle that us girls go through that leads us to wear clothes are are too small, just so that we can claim a size that feels acceptable to us! …
I crawled into bed at 12:30 am after last nights Bible Study. Who does that? How many small groups or Bible Studies have you been to recently where the group was so passionate about hearing, learning and sharing God’s truth that they could barely break away. I honestly think we…
Our family enjoyed such a precious Easter Celebration weekend. I loved watching God work in our beautiful worship service that brought many new souls to the Cross. I loved being one of the last cars to pull from the parking lot after praying for some church family friends. I loved…
Warning, this post is NOT for Spiritual Wimps! Oooppps…Did I just SAY that? I may be learning from Paul. I have spent the week in the book of Galatians. This morning I made a list of all the ways Paul desribed himself in this chapter. Wow, what a lesson for a…

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.
