Inside My Mind

Welcome! You'll be seriously glad you started here first...It explains a lot.

Stuff That Chaps My Khaki’s...

• Marzipan
• Musicals
• Windchimes
• Breaking the rules
• Practical jokes
• “Smacking” your bubble gum
• Clingy shower curtains
• My cooking disasters...of which there are many
• Dragging your feet when you walk
• Not returning a shopping cart to a designated area
• Being called “Sweetie” & “Honey” by a young person

Of This I Am Sure...

• God is making the way
• The more I learn about & experience God, the more I know beyond the shadow of a doubt, that I know almost nothing, but what I DO know - I KNOW...and I'm ok with that 
• Prayer & tithing work
• There is great value in a road trip
• Photography & writing bring me actual joy
• My fridge will always contain milk and cheese
• Spray on sunblock is the best invention EVER
• Laugh lines & wrinkles mean I’ve smiled and laughed a lot in my life, not that I'm getting old
• There is a difference between flattery & a compliment...I prefer the latter
• If you find a roll of Life Savers in my purse, you can rest assured my dog Dudley had “familiarized” himself with the top one
• At my age...this list should be longer

When The Dog Bites, When The Bee Stings...

• Friday mornings with Terri & Becca...Sunday mornings with Terri & Becca, Monday nights with Becca, and Thursday mornings...well, you get the idea. 
• Chocolate Chip or Coconut Dream cookies. Not much these two things don't fix.
• Chocolate Mint ice cream
• Feather pillows 
• That crunchy sound a good down comforter makes when you flail around
• Teva flip flops
• Photography
• J’Adore perfume
• Books on CD
• Sweet tea
• Jim Caviezel, Dermont Mulroney and the ENTIRE male cast of MI-5 (Spooks)

Books That Shaped My Life...

• The Bible...seriously - best seller for like 2000+ years. It's still relevant for today and I'm living proof of that. 

• The Final Quest | Rick Joyner...it gives a tangible vision for what spiritual warfare looks like - very powerful!

• Intercessory Prayer | Dutch Sheets...the nuts & bolts of what it is, what it looks like, and it pumped me up to learn more and stretch my wings (so to speak).

• Kingdom Principles | Myles Munroe...it speaks to the true "identity" of who I am as a believer and helped focus my eternal perspective.

• The Five Love Languages | Gary Chapman...I've made egregious errors in the gift of being able to love and to be loved. It helped explain a lot that I didn't have words for.

• Forgotten God | Francis Chan...an amazing view of getting to know the Holy Spirit. 

• Crazy Love | Francis Chan...the title speaks for itself. 

• Seven Longings of the Human Heart | Mike Bickle...I spent a few weeks reading the book and kept saying - YES! TRUE! AWESOME! I think the specific seven longings he taps into are universal and help explain (give words to) so much of why and what I think and feel.
