I sit in the twilight, warm stoneware mug between two cold hands. The branches of the evergreen lit to mesmerize me. As I hold my mug, and drift deeply into the lights of the evergreen my mind is drawn back to our creator. My focus is of peace, love, and the one person that came in this world to set man kind free.

Keeping it Real
Zone V tour into Plymouth have been cancelled since the passage of hurricane Maria. Having an inability to provide an excursion to four different tours this week would love to have open communication to the situation.
The season has started, and we have been waiting 8 long weeks for our income to return. I cannot express the disappointment, and frustration we feel largely based on a lack of communication. Words like”soon, later, sometime, check back with me….” are not communication! Continue reading →
Initial thoughts…
Instead of Christ followers focusing on changing laws, or the actions of our government we could focus on changing ourselves to be more like Christ. What if we as a community truly did follow the narrow way, and had abundant life? IF we as a church chose to walk out the living word of God in our lives day to day, sold out for him, what would it look like and how would Gods image be reflected in us and in turn into society? If our hearts were truly like “a dear panting for water,” would the hearts of our neighbors be changed? Could we once again be the salt and light of a lost world? IF we were truly salt in light and ambassadors of Yahweh, then would not governmental laws be of no use in our cause because we as followers would make choices to live a certain way rather than be demanded, manipulated or forced to? Did Jesus focus on changing what was Ceaser’s? or did he focus on discipleship and the heart of a man? Continue reading →

Thoughts on Love
People have written a million and one things I am sure about love. I am sure I have nothing new to say, but I find myself longing to say something
A, Mom staying at home, a choice.
Let me state this at the beginning for all those who read through this post. I am not naive enough to think that my words would apply to women (or men) across the board. Obviously some of us truly do not have the choice to stay at home and raise our children. I also understand there are those who do have the “luxury” of staying home. This post simply reflects wear I am at and away for me to try to verbalize my feeling s on the subject. Continue reading →
Ponderings from a woman’s heart
When did I become a woman? When did my hips become so curvy? When did I grow up? How did I get here, am I really here? Continue reading →
My wonderful talented sister-in-love Elise Lea!
A few years ago we were sitting on the couch and received a phone call from our brother. He was considering bringing a girl home to meet the family, since this involved traveling across the ocean to a tiny volcanic island we knew this was a pretty big deal. He prepared Elise with great detail I am sure about all the odditys of us all 
(I like us all a little quirky, it works for us) And of course he prepared us with great diligence about Elise. He wanted everything to be perfect and for the first meeting to be wonderful, for good reason to, he was not bringing home a girl to meet his family, he was bringing home his brand new fiance to meet us!
