At times like these...words do not suffice. As I see others hurting and in pain, with loss and suffering, prayer is where I am compelled to go. And I do long a bit more for Heaven. … [Read more...]

Sacrifice & Homecoming Ignored!
I am sitting in an airport…crying. While the world around me continues to turn and people scurry. The escalators before me carry travelers, many, many travelers. Face after face coming down the escalator appears weary and laden down with heavy loads – and not just in their arms. Just moments ago I watched a woman of 40 something bounce up and down and squeal in excitement, there on the down escalator was a younger version of her … [Read more...]
Doldrums Slayer
There are days when I can get sort of down in the dumps. You? Sometimes it is because “the news” is draggin me down and sometimes it is because “my news” is giving me the doldrums.

Wanna See This Moms Messy Room?
My bedroom is a disaster area. There. I. Said. It. Out loud. Yes, that is a photo of the Eyster master bedroom- in all its glory. (Or unglory!) As you can see my bedroom has become the dumping ground. You can't see what's at my feet - the two baskets of "this and that" or the stack of books or piles of clothes. And no I'm not sure why there is a bike in my bedroom. And yes, I know the many reasons why my bedroom should not look … [Read more...]
Driving At Age Ten! What?
I am absolutely at a loss for words {well, not really-since I am writing about it} that parents would allow their ten year old to drive! Has the world gone mad? I still cannot quite figure out how it happened. I mean heck, they can barely see over the steering wheel. I think some of them have got to be using booster seats while driving. They look so grown up sitting behind that wheel. It is so cute! Their parents are so proud too, taking … [Read more...]
Mom Disappears!?
I want to disappear. Do you have days like that? Oh how glorious it would be if the skies would part and Jesus would appear and then I could disappear. The constant praise of Him could begin. I find myself longing for that more and more. Is that promise of being reunited with my Savior the source of the longing in my heart on this day (and several others) to disappear? I have spent the last three weeks caring for my husband as he … [Read more...]
