This was my 14th Christmas and Mowgli’s second with us. He was definitely more into it this year. He was on the naughty list put pulled through with some last-minute cuteness and cuddling. Yes, Santa Paws came! I hope your holiday was bright and merry. My favorite gift was our trip to Show Low […]
A Christmas Message
Be There
My husband and I recently saw the movie, Devotion, the inspirational true story of Jesse Brown, the first Black aviator in U.S. Navy history, and his enduring friendship with fellow fighter pilot Tom Hudner.

Yes, I am talking about Christmas with the Kranks starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and Jingle All the Way with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad. Although different movies, their theme is the same: being […]

I take great comfort—especially these days—knowing I am a child of God. He loves us as His own, and He has great patience with us. I like to think of life as a road trip with God. He’s driving as our Father, and we are in the back seat. Within minutes of the trip, we […]
