D is for “Delete” (Divorce)

August 11, 2015August 31, 2015 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

"I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty.

A Parking Lot Walk…and a Lesson in Marriage

July 29, 2015June 22, 2018 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

Type A folks tend to have a lot of pent-up energy.  I really can't sit still for very long.  As the song goes, "These boots are made for walking." Walking can be a good time to talk to God.  I may start out in my mad dash, but, if I'm talking to God, pretty soon, … Continue reading A Parking Lot Walk…and a Lesson in Marriage

Praise God!

July 20, 2015August 4, 2015 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

Thank you, God, for answering my prayers! We received a positive report for my hubby! Only three more treatments to go before we get three months without (hopefully) a hospital visit.

Who Ya Gonna Turn To?

April 20, 2015May 16, 2015 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

My husband had locked the inside garage door again. For some reason, he fears an imminent break-in by our Honda Accord. I pulled the car in and frantically closed the automatic garage door to keep dog, cats and a-sundry kittens from rushing into the garage. Safe in the darkness of a sheltered garage, I grabbed … Continue reading Who Ya Gonna Turn To?

Joy in the Journey…the Story of the Dogwood

April 14, 2015January 25, 2021 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

  I saw them 65 miles south of Atlanta. We'd shared the road with palm trees and pine trees and mack trucks since south Florida. Florida surroundings were lush and green and manicured and walled. North of Florida now, we drove the same road I followed with my father a year ago.Last year, we sang … Continue reading Joy in the Journey…the Story of the Dogwood

For the Birds..Sort Of

March 22, 2015April 17, 2015 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

When God speaks, I hope I have sense enough to listen. If not, I guess He'll send a cardinal. But, I get ahead of myself. Have I ever told you my dad, who died last November, loved birds? "I bought 50 pounds of birdseed at the Belleville Seed House - the good stuff," dad would … Continue reading For the Birds..Sort Of
