Words of Encouragement

Since moving and after getting my arm out of plaster, I have joined tennis club. Being competitive by nature, I am pleased that the people in this tennis club are all players of a good standard, who enjoy the strategy and competitiveness of tennis. It may be social but everyone is out on the court to win the game. That’s not to say that it is not carried on in an attitude of sportsmanship and friendliness. It is common for those on the opposite side of the net to acknowledge a good shot and offer words of encouragement. Today on … Continue reading →

The Purpose of Pain

Sometimes things don’t work at all as we imagine they will. For weeks I thought about how much better my arm would feel and what a relief it would be to get the cast off. The reality was far different. I was unprepared for the pain once the cast was removed. Words fluttered like restless butterflies through my mind. Surely there must be something wrong?

Due to this, I’d like to ask for prayers and good thoughts to be sent Dale’s way. Life is difficult enough without a curve ball or three thrown in our direction. The Christian blog will be taking a bit of a hiatus … Continue reading →

Good Bye and Thank You!

Posted on by

I have had the great privilege of blogging for Families.com since August of last year. Not only is Families.com a great website, but it is filled with great people with wonderful hearts. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this internet family to share my love for Christ with others and will continue to do so through the Christian forums. However, I really feel led to move my focus to some other areas of my life. Don’t get me wrong though, I really have loved my job so it’s with a bit of sadness I … Continue reading →
