  • 2nd Row, Piano Side

    2nd Row, Piano Side

    I’ve been serving my church and loving people from the 2nd row, piano side as a pastor’s wife for almost 50 years, and the stories just get better and better!

  • No Red Shoes in Heaven!

    Today I am absolutely certain there will be NO red shoes in heaven! I came to this conclusion yesterday as (1.) I packed away my Christmas decorations (lots of red shoes) (2.) yesterday was my mom’s birthday (certain calendar days I miss her more profoundly), and I just walked by a mirror and saw my…

  • POOF – Hall “Undecked” (Epiphany)

    And just like that … POOF … the halls are undecked! But WAIT! Epiphany is here! The days after Christmas call us to press on and celebrate the continued pursuit of the wise men to find Christ – the revelation of redemption. When things are boxed up and tucked away again in the attic, The…

  • My Story

    My Story

    I recently attended a seminar that began with this assignment: Tell your story before the 3-minute timer buzzed. The purpose of the assignment was this: If you only had an elevator ride to interact with a stranger, could you condense your life story (a.k.a. testimony) and introduce someone to Christ?

    A Whole Train Load!

    Leon M. Hunt would be a centurion this week, but he left us too soon. From the first time I met Leon, he called me “Baby” and I called him “Daddy”. Many memories of Daddy, like this one, still warm my heart and bring a smile to my face. It is amazing how a “freeze…

    Carry Me Please

    Momism for exhaustion: “Plumb tuckered out” “Outta soup” “Ran my horns off” – always proceeded by “DEAR GUSSIE!”

  • Where’s the Comfort?

    1 Thes 4:18 “Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.” Comfort, not scare the “bejabbers” out of kids, with these words! I suppose as I get older these words take on their intended meaning, however I can’t help but remember the way these verses impacted me as a child. Having been brought up in an…
