A day that forever will be etched in my heart. Almost 7 years ago my precious nephew, Trey, beat cancer by entering Heaven!  He is dancing with Jesus now and living his life to the absolute fullest!

I feel like wherever I go, I always come home with a story. Especially if I’m with a friend! 🙂  A typical stop at the deli or a ride on an elevator can turn in to a storytelling episode worthy of popcorn and a box of M+M’s! Stories about silly encounters are fun, but what about real life,Continue reading “Story Telling”

Some would argue that Lord of the Rings is the best trilogy ever!Some may say Toy Story, Indiana Jones or Austin Powers.  (Not sure exactly whoooo would choose Austin Powers, but go ahead and look it up:  It’s real!)  I’m thinking of a different trilogy.  One with more lasting influence. 🙂1. Rejoice in hope.2. Be patient in affliction.3. BeContinue reading “Trilogy”

They ran juuuuuuuust ahead of the waves lapping up on the shoreline….digging their pencilthin bills in to the sand in search of tasty seafood! And then I watched the big goofy looking pelicans….flapping and soaring juuuuustContinue reading “Beach Talk”
