Proverbs 8
The Excellence of Wisdom There is a saying, “ Money doesn’t buy happiness.” For multiple reasons, society seems to rank wealth with success—which may or may not be true. Years ago, my husband almost didn’t make it to his next … Continue reading

Mea Culpa by Kathy Carmichael
One of the complaints my family makes about me is that I’m too literal. Essentially, it’s part of my nature and try as I might, I can’t seem to change this leaning toward the literal. And the exact. And facts. … Continue reading
Blessed is the Man … and Grandma! by Kathy Carmichael

I Miss You, Paula Kay – by Kathy Carmichael

Black Ice by Kathy Carmichael
This morning I saw a video about a young woman slipping and sliding on black ice. Because of the familiarity (haven’t most of us been there and done that?), it struck me as particularly hilarious. Here is Wikipedia’s definition of … Continue reading
