The other day I was thinking back to when I was babysitting. There is a family I babysit for a lot, and one thing we look forward to is having our movie nights. I was thinking about a night when we were watching the Disney movie “Meet the Robinsons.” I probably have seen this movie with these kids so many […]
There is always controversy about those in authority. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Queen of England, a Czar, or the President of the United States; there is always controversy. Recently, there has been so much hatred for our current President. I feel so sad that this has been happening. It’s not right. Even though you may not like who […]
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” ~Neale Donald Walsch This quote is so very true, and it is such an inspiration to me. Life is crazy, and it can be quite scary at times. Some people say that we need to stay in our comfort zones and that we need to stick to the things that we […]

I believe that prayer is one of the most important concepts of being a Christian. Prayer, along with the Holy Spirit, is our connection to God. Some people say that it is the world’s greatest wireless connection. […]
A bridge. I stand in the middle of the road, looking from end to end. Should I go forward, or should I go back? Should I go home? Or should I take a leap of faith? Going back means I’m weak, because I’m not strong enough to leave. But could it prove that I am strong? If I endure, I’d […]
One thing to know about me is that I love photography and art. I love making art and supporting local artist as well. I have the best of both worlds. I have the opportunity to make and sell my stuff in a small shop in the heart of Lititz. The shop is called Purple Robin Reserve, and they showcase work […]

Remember when you were a child, and you could hardly wait for the church service to be over. All you could think about was the Easter egg hunt and imagining all of the treats you would find within those eggs. This is something I remember very clearly. In fact, I still look forward to it. Even though my sister and […]
