Reflecting God This Christmas
NOTE: THIS post is Part Two of my last post, "When God Says 'I've Got This!' - you may want to read that one first! THIS is the presentation I prepared for the recent Christmas Brunch. Recently, I spoke at a women’s retreat. A committee member I’ve known for years introduced me to one of the guests. “Have you ever met?” she asked. “I don’t...
When God Says “I’ve Got This!”
God puts us in situations to prove we need ONLY Him. I shared this meme on Facebook last Friday. It intrigued me. Worth pondering, for sure. I try to live my life - no matter what - through a lens of “What are you teaching me through this, God?” When great times come our way it’s easy. Right? But in hard times, there’s a bit more...
Boundaries
I'm learning. Still learning. And, one of the things I'm learning about is boundaries. Boundaries exist no matter where we are. There are boundaries on the streets and highways we drive. Curbs.

Celebrate Grandparenting!
Do you celebrate grandparenting? I certainly do, and have for 4,760 days to be exact. That's when it all started - 4,760 days ago - behind closed doors. Last minute complications changed our plans, so rather than witnessing the birth of my first grandchild, I stood in the hallway as they wheeled my daughter behind those doors for emergency...
May 28th
Glenn & I with our Daddy, and our dog! May 28th - just another day, right? Well, not for me! It's been a while since I sang Happy Birthday, but perhaps he can hear me from Heaven.....sure hope so! Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, Dear Daddy! Happy Birthday to you! Summer of 1954, most likely - Glenn & I...
Beauty and Truth
We’ve all heard it said before: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Right? I see things as beautiful, while others may not. Likewise, I am sometimes totally unimpressed by what others see as beautiful. We aren't alike and that's okay! Today, another adage is much more fitting: Truth is in the mind of the thinker. Truth is in the mind of the...
Welcome, I’m Elaine. I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, a choreographer of words, a challenger of the status quo, an admirer of all things colorful, and a lover of life who finds great comfort and joy in knowing I’m completely adequate to do whatever it is God calls me to do!
