I was born seventy three years ago in Owensboro Kentucky - a pretty little city perched along the Ohio River. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother and I have a rich heritage in memories from which to draw. I recently began blogging true stories and incidents that have occurred in my life. I am now writing some stories of pure fiction glazed with truth. My desire is to gratify the reader and glorify my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Lord gifted me with humor and I enjoy passing it along.

We are compelled to “Live Deeply in Christ.” And now, children, stay with Christ. Live deeply in Christ. Then we’ll be ready for him when he appears, ready to receive him with open arms, with no cause for red-faced guilt or lame excuses when he arrives.” 1 John 2:28 (The Message) John writes beautifully, soulfully, […]

I often wonder while living my life ~ this ordinary life ~ do I, or even can I, fully worship, love, and obey in truth my God and Father, the One who dwells on a plane I can’t with the frailty of my human thoughts, begin to comprehend? I can only reach out with my […]

The black skeletal trees stand in stark relief to the gray-white background of all else. There is an edge of ice glittering on the northern rim of each limb; it seems slightly threatening in this dying day. A huge storm was promised with blizzard conditions, but only a dusting of white powder snow is scattered […]

The prologue: “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night …” Winter’s chill is in the air, and the moon is a sliver of frozen light, The world pauses, and silence wraps the shepherds in a holy hush. The black crystal canvas of the […]

I have taken a break from the fun task of making Christmas goodies; slow but syncopated music fills the air; thoughts of family stir in my heart. I am spending imaginary time with my grandchildren this morning; the music leads the way; they flesh it out. I’m letting my ideas run their erratic course. Something […]

Almost home!
These words, lived in the reality of today, bring such joy and a feeling of excitement; they deliver the expectation of welcome, comfort and familiarity from the place where I truly belong, a place where I am the closest to God.
After all of the traveling I have enjoyed, I find I have a longing for "my home time", that time when early in the mornings (without distractions) the pace of my day is set. It is the time I meet my Lord God in the pages of His holy word, and the time I allow His spirit to minister to my spirit. I am more fully focused on Him in these moments and He can lead me in the ways to pray; for more than anything, I want to see eye to eye with Him in this conscious time when we speak.
The foundation of my heavenly home and my earthly home is the same ~ built and sustained on the indescribable love that Jesus Christ has for me, and my faith in that saving love. That He would do for me that which I needed to do ~ that He faced a righteous God and took on Himself my sin, my punishment, my pay-day ~ this is the foundation that will be my home from now and through forever.
Refreshed by Serenity and Gratitude, reinforced with excitement, and I am almost there, home.
Homeward bound,
Rhea
