I am now the official spokesman for Cracker Barrel Cheese. Ok, I'm not, but I should be.

Cracker Barrel Herb and Garlic Cheese on Costco's multigrain tortilla chips is like driving a Lexus compared to limping around in the old jalopy of saltines and cheddar. Seriously, it gave my taste buds a tickle! As an added bonus, Cracker Barrel is Canadian-made, and doesn't have the additives and junk that other cheese has... AND it goes on sale at Extra Foods often enough that I never buy cheese at regular price. Food this delish should have legal limits.

A Wish and a Prayer

It's easy to dream and wish and decide its impossible. To dream and pray and take action...  That's another story.  I've dreamed.  I've prayed.  It's time for action.

I AM ME

Whatever size that I may be
I need to know that I am ME
Not only that, I've been made pure
By a loving God whose trust is sure

I'm becoming Me -- the me He saved
The Me for whom His life He gave
The devil tries to wreck our view
Lord, help us see us as You do

13 Years!

I am very blessed to have a wonderful man who understands me (sometimes!), says the right things (pretty often!), who hugs me when I need it (when he notices!), who rubs my sore foot -- and the other one to make it feel special too (almost daily!), who brings me Mars Bars (hint hint!) and who loves me with his whole heart (ALWAYS!!!!!). 

 I am SO in love with you Jimmy!  

Waiting for Perfection

I feel God-nudges in my soul.  He has been whispering.


You've got something to share with the world.

But God, don't You mean once my issues and struggles are dealt with and done?  Don't I have to be perfect first?  Or at least a little less messed-up?

No.  I use messed-up people.  I even used a donkey.

But I sit.  On hold.  Waiting for that "big moment" of healing, deliverance and freedom.  I sit in the shadow and let life pass me by.  I do not feel worthy to do anything or even to pray because I am keenly aware of my own demons that need to be conquered before I reach out to others.

But He speaks to me relentlessly...

No, Honey... I use messed-up people.  Let Me use you.
