My life is anything but ordinary. Some even call it special.
My late husband Mike and I have two adult sons.
David, our youngest, is married to his college sweetheart Clara, and is dad to my four grandkids and off doing his own thing in another state.
Our oldest son, Jonathan, was born with developmental delays and still lives at home with me. By necessity my days mostly center around his supervision and care. He keeps me on my toes and on my knees in prayer.
Sometimes life takes us places we never thought we’d go, but as we adjust, there are lessons and blessings to be found in special and even broken places.
This spot in cyberspace is about my journey and adventures, raw and honest realities, discoveries and thoughts I collect along the way.
Thanks for joining me. I pray something here encourages you or you can at least relate!
I’d be happy to know about that if it happens. Just leave a comment and I will reply.

I was traveling on life’s highway
In the fast lane in high gear
Searching for a purpose
When a detour appeared
‘Going To Special From Here’
I had no choice but take it
Was the only way to go
An unplanned place on my journey
I didn’t want it to be so
But I’m going to Special from here
This back road takes much longer
Such an unfamiliar path
Twists and turns to challenge
Quaint stops along the way
Now I’m going to Special from here
The view is much more scenic
Often takes my breath away
Amazing grace rides with me
No return to the fast lane
‘Cause I’m going to Special from here
People tell you that you’re special
When you travel in this place
I don’t really feel it
I’m just walking through by grace
For I’m going to Special from here
I’m really nothing special
Except in God’s great plan
He wants to make me so
He takes me by the hand
And we’re going to Special from here.
