• Out of Gas

    Sometimes I say in jest, “If I didn’t have bad luck, I’d have no luck at all”, but the truth is I am so lucky, so very blessed with the best family and friends.   Last night, I drove to my dad’s home, spent a few precious hours with him, slept, had breakfast with Dad, and…

  • The Miracle of Life

    In April of 1961 my family was on vacation visiting family in Idaho. They were heading back home to Riverside California going through Oregon. My mom was 34 weeks pregnant with me at the time and she was getting antsy.  She was hoping that if she drove that would help her. My dad pulled over…

  • An Answer to Prayer

    A few months ago, I started reading a book “God’s Smuggler” by Brother Andrew.  I had heard of this book before and decided it was worth a read. This story is an excerpt of one of the many miracles that happened on his Service mission for the Lord.  This book is FULL of miracles, it…

  • Collecting Pearls of Wisdom

    Do you love our new Logo? It’s two hands holding many pearls of different sizes and colors. And why pearls? Because pearls are beautiful treasures that arise out of difficulty. So often, miracles–blessings, tender mercies, providence–come when we are in difficulty. When we call out to Him, God often gives us enough strength to smooth…

  • Small Blessings

    I have the most beautiful tender mercy I thought I’d share with you, prefaced with a little background.   When I go to church every week, I always just slip in the back usually because I’m either right on time, or slightly late and can avoid any kind of disruption of the worship walking in front…

  • Plant The Seed

    Sometimes I wish I could just snap my fingers and have what I need.  The answer to a long sought after question.  The knowledge on how to create something amazing the first time, like knowing the seeds I plant this spring will all grow into an amazing garden. There is power in learning little by…

  • The Gift

    Miracles big and small all come from the same place.  The difference is that we often claim the small ones as lucky, something that just aligned in our lives for no reason.  We celebrated the gift giving part of Christmas late, since some of us were sick the day of actual Christmas.  There was one…

  • STOP

    Late one afternoon, we were heading home from a hunting excursion our family took every year.  I grew up in this small town, and as you drove down the street, there was a railroad track with a stop sign.  The tracks were rarely used, and as a kid I would just barrel through the stop…

  • Dear God

    I wanted to share a story of lightness and humor. This morning, God told me a joke which I have never experienced before. I was meditating and praying in my bed and thinking fondly of all that God provides for me. I asked God to send me an image of how He views our relationship….
