The Home That Will Never Become a Pile of Rubble
“Birds finish the nest with their own breast, so it is the bosom that makes the home, and not the bill or the claw.” —Henry Ward Beecher, Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit Home—a place of beginning or familiarity. It is a powerful word. It brings a feeling of security and well-being, of love and comfort. I was…
[From the Archives] Not Just a Keeper
I pray this post from the archives blesses you. I’m taking some time off from creating new content to refocus and spend time with family. God willing, I’ll be back January 2 with new posts and a new look. May you feel the peace of the Lord this Christmas and through the New Year. ___________________________________ Our feet…
Holy Healing: the Greatest Sacrifice
Chances are you have experienced affliction and sorrow you never expected: intense pain that reaches deep into your souls, leaving you dry and withered, groaning for relief. You long for healing. I’ve read and heard accounts of suffering that left me staggering. Stories of horror unimagined. However, none left more of a mark on my…
Are You a “Maddie Hatter”? (Answering God’s Call)
Last week was a crazy, wonderful week! I stepped into a call God made on my life. It began with my church’s Vacation Bible School (VBS), an awesome ministry to the children in our community. For half a dozen years or so I’ve been director or codirector. This year I stepped aside from the directorship…
A Walk Through Easter
It all began in the beginning where all things begin. Man’s journey from fallen to saved began with Yahweh, with the living, breathing Word of God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). He breathed man into existence and gave us paradise. But…
Caressing Roar
With the first Friday of the new year, is time again to join The Gypsy Mama for 5 Minute Friday, jotting down unedited thoughts around the prompt “roar.” GO “The LORD will roar from on high, and from his holy habitation utter his voice; he will roar mightily against his fold, and shout, like those…
Not Just a Keeper (and more)
Our feet crunch through the snow-dusted grass. The boys chase each other between rows of evergreens as Rachel wanders peacefully through the green, lying down occasionally to get the full effect of the setting and rest a bit. This is a favorite annual outing for our family—the Christmas tree hunt! Some years we find ourselves…
Album of Life
Getting the sun, my camera, and my son’s smile to cooperate while taking his senior pictures was not a task for the faint of heart! Earlier in the summer, temporary insanity had set in, and I decided I could take the photos instead of hiring a professional. After all, I had a nice camera and…

Hello, I'm Julie, an imperfect wife and mother of four. Life in this broken world is not always easy. Yet, joy can be found in each day through the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I find it's easy for our day's blessings to get lost in its happenings. But God's "mercies never end" (Lamentations 3:22) and His "grace is sufficient" (2 Corinthians 12:9).
May the posts and pages on this site offer you a measure of peace and encouragement.
