The Gauntlet

It’s a rainy day again as I write this and I’m wondering if spring has come and gone and taken summer with it! I’m feeling the greyness of the day which can lead to a more sombre approach in my thinking. So, in order to lift my spirits and hopefully bring a smile to your day, I am going to share a story I wrote about a little girl winning the battle of fear. First, however, I need to acknowledge that fear cannot be winked at with a short story. Neither can it be resolved with a...

The Reason for THIS Season!

In a recent Bible study, the question was asked: “What is the connection between Easter eggs and bunnies and the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ?” Someone suggested that the ‘egg’ represents life. I found that mildly interesting, but then another person exclaimed, “But rabbits don’t lay eggs!” We all laughed, knowing that many of us have participated in Easter egg hunts with children and grandchildren and have enjoyed the excitement of the ‘hunt’ as much as the kids....

There have been many movies and equally as many books that I’ve indulged in only to be disappointed in the predictable plot and frustrated by the whimsical errors in catching the villain!...

Love Is In The Air

These past three months the TV airwaves have been inundated with Hallmark movies. They have evolved from Christmas themes to Valentine’s themes and now we see post-Valentine’s themes! All in all, they are sweet and very predictable. Under the influence of such heart-warming movies, it’s easy to acknowledge February as the Love Month. For me, February’s love is every day as I am gently reminded of it by a  little statue that sits on the upper edge of my stove. Given to me by my...

Happiness: A By-Product of Loving God

I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but I find the early, wintry months of each year difficult. I try very hard to be content—to be happy—knowing that this, too, shall pass. However, the three months of cold, unpredictable weather—and this year, in particular, with sub-zero temperatures—makes it very difficult to keep my spirits up! Sunshine is so limited, and even when it is shining, the coldness makes it hard to feel joy or happiness. On a more upbeat note, can you think of a time...
