A journal entry: Today was a pretty special day to me. Kevin and I drove over to Pensacola from Mobile to be with Pastors Mark and Janet Brazee for Mama J’s mother’s funeral.  I thought we were going to support our spiritual parents during this celebration of Ruth Courtney’s life. And we did. But I […]

Something on the inside working on the outside🎵🎶Ohhhh what a change in my life🎵🎶     We sang that song to the top of our lungs on our 45 minute drive to and from church many a nights. Those memories have never faded. We would inevitably be shushed by someone in that 70’s psychedelic purple […]

You read it right😳 …unhappy. This is actually a real key to being happy anyway.  Do you think I have this cheesy grin on my face 24/7? Umm, ask my family. I am human. Of course not. No one laughs all the time or is skipping on the clouds all the time. If they try […]

Just Another Manic Monday🎶….ohoooohhhh I wish it was Sundaaaay🎵🎶🎵🎶 You know the song and I’m sure you have sung it on those Mondays that weren’t going your way. Idea—Set out for the rest of TODAY to have “just another HAPPY Monday🎶🎵🎶” Set your mind on things above and expect it to be a good day […]

Don’t Worry Be Happy They sing and they rant Really?! That’s not possible I sure can’t! Yea, my mom told me too. It doesn’t do any good But around every corner, there’s something crazy hard that’s new. I get this down and Yes! I’m happy! Then I look up and suddenly sappy. Someone’s upset Now […]

I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy…. When my husband (long before the marriage) uttered those well-meaning words he had no idea what he was getting himself into. Things are very different in the dreamy world of starry eyed young love, when your biggest dilemma is which movie to see, […]

It’s not happy people that are thankful but thankful people that are happy! I’m thanking God, who makes things right. I’m singing the fame of heaven-high GOD. (Psalm 7:17 MSG) Have you ever messed something up really bad? Yea, me too. Here at the end of the year, it’s a good time to be thankful […]

Happy Christmas Yesterday at Harvest Church, we watched snippets of Home Alone & Wow! I never remembered how moving that flick was about dealing with loneliness until Kevin wrapped scripture around it like he did. Not sure which is worst?! …to be completely isolated or surrounded by a “wonderful support system” [or so all would […]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year🎶🎵🎶…so the song goes and for some, it is. 🎄⛄️Others, not so much.  Then again, what part of the year is wonderful for some who struggle to be happy mid July with the sun shining bright at the beach☀️🌊 with family and a life many would die for […]

Hmmm, Come to think of it…I really wish happy thoughts flooded my mind as free flowing as they seem to many people that I am close to. My husband is one of these naturally “happy people” as are a couple of my closest friends. And by the way, I think God sort of set those […]
