Happy New Year!





Welcome 2018...2017 in now part of our past and time for reflection.

In 2017 I posted 81 new blog posts, down from 170 in 2016. So, my goal 2018 is to write 200 new posts – that’s an average of 16-17 posts each month. So, let the blogging begin with a reflection on 2017.

Some of my posts included a series on the Book of Ephesians – “A Call to Carry on.” No More Walls was a popular post in this series.

Inside My Eye was also a popular post, I wrote about my surgery to correct a Macular Hole in my right eye. Well, the journey continues with another surgery in a few days to once again repair the hole. I don’t mind the surgery as much as I mind the recovery.

“Joy” was another popular post in 2017.

For the last few years I have participated in the #write31days challenge to post each day in October. My theme for the series was “Created to Create.” Follow the link here to read the daily posts featuring some of my favorite PhotoShop CC techniques and photos.


I wrote on a variety of topics throughout 2017, finishing out the year with a few of the places my husband and I visited. Here’s a YouTube video of my final project for 2017, that was presented as a slideshow at the Camera Club of Brevard’s January 2nd program the includes a few of my favorite places. The music in the video is not mine, the artist credit is on the last slide.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope you'll come visit again very soon!


Be blessed and be a blessing!

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

31 Days - Day 21

Today, I'm wondering where the time's going and what will I post?! My brain is on empty. So, what comes to mind at this time is Mandisa's song "Overcomer" which has been playing on the radio a lot lately. Jesus said in John16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Matthew Henry's Commentary on this verse: He comforts them with a promise of peace in him, by virtue of his victory over the world, whatever troubles they might meet with in it ( John 16:33 ): “ These things have I spoken, that in me you might have peace ; and if you have it not in me you will not have it at all, for in the world you shall have tribulation ; you must expect no other, and yet may cheer up yourselves, for I have overcome the world .” Observe: 1. The end Christ aimed at in preaching this farewell sermon to his disciples: That in him they might have peace . He did n...
