The Color Purple

When I heard they had made a musical movie of “The Color Purple” I was not ready to be the first in line to see it. My husband and I love going to the movies, but this one I did not want to see. I saw the original movie. I loved it, but it was not one IContinue reading “The Color Purple”

Online With Him

God loves to put me in a car, plane, train or ship. Every time I travel He encourages, reveals, or reinforces something already told, but distractions prevent me from seeing it clearly. My trip with my dad to Denver in their first winter storm of the season was a revelation. At the same time itContinue reading “Online With Him”

Breathe

When I saw this book I thought, I don’t need this book, I am pretty calm in stressful situations. However, the Holy Spirit encouraged me to buy two copies, one for me and one for a friend. I love it when the Holy Spirit knows best. Yes, I am pretty calm, but only because ofContinue reading “Breathe”

Hope for Heidi

I was in Lancaster, PA and had just finished reading a book on the bus ride in. I needed another book to read. God gave me “Hope for Heidi” by Rachel Lofgren from the Shady Maple Gift shop. While still on vacation I jumped into the book immediately and haven’t been able to put itContinue reading “Hope for Heidi”
