Sharing Stories of Faith, Family & Friends From Life's Dusty Trails
Have you ever stopped and wondered what it is that breaks the heart of God? I don't mean what "we" the collective do.... I mean "we" as in you and me..... I have been thinking about "LOVE" lately. Not the romantic kind of love.. but, what does it really mean to love....I will be honest …

Yesterday was a busy day. As I often do, I had the TV on for white background noise. As I got my computer work done, I was feeling quite accomplished. As the day clicked away, I was due to be in Tri Cities to spend some time with my youngest grandson and I still had …

I have recently started buying myself cut flowers.My husband has never been one to surprise me and bring them home, in his defense I didn't think I was ever one that would appreciate them. It always seemed like such a waste to take them from the garden. I can see now that I was short-sighted …

My Grandson, Rhett and I started this little game when he was just becoming aware of the world around him. Anytime he and I would lock eyes or.. glance in one another's direction, I would say, I SEE YOU. Having heard Maya Angelou ask the question, "Do your eyes light up when your love walks …
There are time in which I feel that I was born into the wrong era. And perhaps even longer chucks of time in which I am sure I was born into the wrong "story line." Perhaps it is that longing that propels me to tell the stories of those that are not only products of …
