For a writer, the pleasure is not only in writing but in having others read what you write. So this portion of my website is not only for your pleasure and entertainment but for mine. :) I love to put my thoughts down on paper, honing them until I am saying exactly what I want to say. It not only helps me sort out what I think, believe, and feel, but it brings the pure pleasure of writing, whether on paper or my laptop. I love typing along at the speed of light but there is also something in the clean crispness of a blank sheet of paper and writing with a wonderful pen. (I gave up on using beautiful pens, I’d rather them dance across the paper smoothly than to look pretty, and unfortunately, you can’t have both. So it’s black Pilot G-2’s all the way.)
I am not attempting, in any way, to say that what I feel God is saying to me is “Gospel” or for everyone. These are things I believe that God has shown or spoken to me personally. Some of them you might want to try yourself before you read my answers, to see what you come up with yourself.

My “Thoughts” to Jesus During Hard Times
The following two journal entries were written during a period of time when Terry had been laid off and we were living with our two teens over a business on Main Street, Georgetown, Kentucky. Main Street has been fixed up beautifully with old-fashioned lamp posts and antique shops, and our two rooms had the Victorian romance of having high ceilings and tall windows overlooking the street, but two rooms full of four people and a dog can get pretty cramped. Time alone was a treasure to be savored. Knowing this will give you context for why I couldn’t escape the dog. :)

My beloved husband Terry died on August 1, 2012. Here are the two articles I wrote, three months apart, sharing how my life changed.
