Clearly, this cartoon is a depiction of different perspectives, but it truly is the best I’ve ever seen. It illustrates how every person can see the exact same thing and have a different take on how they view it. Plus, the first part of the caption hits the nail on...

Marriage
Tomorrow marks my twenty-second wedding anniversary! Woohoo!! I know, it’s crazy that we haven’t killed each other yet…although, there is still time!! HAHA! For us, we usually just go to a nice dinner and exchange cards. So, as I was browsing the card isle the...
Living in An Anxious World
Recently, I saw a video on Facebook where Max Lucado was touting his new book Anxious for Nothing that comes out September 12th of this year…love me some Max Lucado and can’t wait to pick up what I’m sure will be a page turner!!! Enough about my love for all things...
The Perils of Facebook
Social media, and most specifically Facebook (because that’s the one I use), can be the greatest thing since sliced bread. I mean who doesn’t want to post pictures of their families, cool vacation places, awesome pet videos and funny memes?!?!?!? A favorite of mine...
We Are What We Think
Here I am again. Jeez! You’d think I was the most inconsistent person in the world by the way I’ve written GEM in the last year…and, honestly, you’d be right!! I don’t have any excuse, but I am genuinely sorry. And please know I’ve missed it, too. I’ve been...

Loving Others
I recently read a prayer that I thought hit the nail on the head for what we should be praying as often as possible. (Lord knows I need all the help I can get!!!) It said, “Dear God, help me to love you and love others today.” Simple, yet sooooo hard! And I love how...
Where Is God?
Do you ever wonder where God is? He promises never to leave or forsake us (see Hebrews 13:5), so why can’t we feel His presence sometimes in the midst of hardship, tragedy or strife? If you’ve ever felt this way, you are not alone!!! Rick Warren says in his book, The...
Eternity
How often do we think about eternity? Probably not often enough considering we will be spending a very long time there!!! I mean, REALLY THINK about ETERNITY for a minute…. WOW! It’s pretty overwhelming. In fact, it’s downright hard to contemplate “forever” when we...
Prayers
Don’t you love it when you can see your prayers being answered?!?!?! I sure do. In fact, I’ve watched my prayers be answered twice in the past week and I just had to share the small miracles I witnessed. Both had to do with me getting back into running. I’ve laid...
