I think June is my favorite month. I love mornings in June. Birds are singing earlier and earlier, and the breeze is cool and brings with it the scents of grass, dirt and flowers. In the evenings, one can drive with the windows down and take in the perfume of honeysuckle growing alongside the road.… Continue reading What June Means to Me

I am a licensed minister, author, and homeschool mom. I am also totally blind. This blog is a mixed bag of my responses to all of that and more.
Food, Bible, and Playing with Words
Reese’s Pieces and coffee are not the best breakfast choices for a diabetic.

I just finished reading a book whose main character knew how to cultivate pearls. The process was explained in the novel. This morning in the devotional I am reading, the writer talked about how oysters make pearls. Coincidence? A tiny irritant gets picked up by the oyster. The oyster secretes a serum which over time… Continue reading From Tribulation to Pearl
