Friday, December 10, 2021 There has been a lot going on since I last wrote. We were one and a half weeks at the CEF Headquarters in Warrenton, MO helping out during their Spiritual Renewal Week.

Thanksgiving
Monday, November 22, 2021 This past year has been incredibly difficult for many people: Sickness, death, loss of jobs and security, conflicts in the family, political unrest and confusion, and more. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, many are finding it difficult to even be thankful. The definition of thankful: “is someone feeling or showing appreciation or… Continue reading Thanksgiving
Running a Race
Saturday, November 13, 2021 Ever start a project that becomes much bigger and more difficult than you imagined? I just finished a project mom and I were working on, a quilt. Key word; finished. There were many times when I wasn’t sure I even wanted to finish it. What possessed me when I actually agreed… Continue reading Running a Race
A Good Day or A Bad Day?
Thursday, November 11, 2021 This has been a very interesting week of joy and frustration. Disappointment and frustration are a part of life. The question is not how to delete it from our lives, that just isn’t going to happen as long as we breathe on this earth. No. The question is; how do we… Continue reading A Good Day or A Bad Day?

When I am not “doing” ministry,… Continue reading Spreading the Fragrance of Jesus.

Since the news of her parting was told us, I have been flooded with memories of special times spent with her. Robi was a very special, very… Continue reading Memories…
The attack of the No-See-Ums…
It is Madison, MN, October 6, 2021. Minnesota is home of “no overnight parking” at the rest stops, miles and miles of farmland, rough roads, not many roadside turnoffs, the Spam Factory (Tim’s favorite place), Honeycrisp apples, the land of 10,000 lakes, Loons, Yurts, and more. We came here to see Bob and Wendy, Tim’s… Continue reading The attack of the No-See-Ums…
The Fruit Basket
Tuesday, September 28, 2021 If I were to best describe this day, I would describe it as a fruit basket filled with an assortment of tastes and colors, some more desirable than others. This is the day we started on our journey, the beginning of a new chapter in our ministry and lives. The day… Continue reading The Fruit Basket
Aloha and welcome!
Sunday, September 26, 2021 Today has been a day of mixed emotions. Today Tim got ordained by our church so now I am married to a Reverend, Rev. Timothy Dekle! It’s pretty exciting. Someone once told me, many years ago, I would make a great pastor’s wife… lol. I don’t know about that, but I… Continue reading Aloha and welcome!
