Double Up

Nothing published since September?  Can you tell that is when I started a big, new job?  I hope to publish the three stories I have drafted so I can finally wrap up this project. I don't think anyone has been waiting for them but I set a goal and I plan to see it through.

 It has been wonderful to relive some of the miraculous moments from my journey.  If you have read my words or received a clover, I hope you felt smudged with the love of God.  These clovers are my Holy Spirit sprinkle and as long as I find them (or they find me) I will use them to encourage others.

 It was raining hard. A moment in this kind of rain drenches you to the bone and you feel sticky all day.  Usually I would love to slow down and soak it up but I was working. I had an appointment and had no choice but to brave the downpour.  Also as usual, I was running late.  As I hurried out the door and down the sidewalk to the parking lot, I spotted a four-leaf clover.  I bent down, snatched it up and turned back for the door.  I rushed back down the hallway and into my office plopping it down on my partner's desk only to realize that the few extra leaflets I grabbed in my haste was also a four-leaf clover! See, they find me sometimes.

Clovered In Prayer

August 11, 2018  In celebration of my 40th birthday I asked each of my three boys to help me chose adventures that we could go on together and my gift would be time spent with them doing something we both love.   My oldest is a baseball player. He is a tall, lanky southpaw who plays first base and loves to pitch.  He is a Cubs fan because I am a Cubs fan. I am a Cubs fan because my grandfather was a Cubs fan. He had never been to Wrigley and that was our adventure together.  Baseball really does soothe my soul and there is nothing like walking into Wrigley Field. I am glad I got to see him see it for the first time. My middle son loves all things sea.  On a road trip a couple of years ago I took a detour to visit the  Georgia Aquarium and he loved my pictures so much that he told himself he would get there one day. Well, when mom asks you what adventure we should do together and some of her best friends had recently moved to Atlanta, you ...

A four-leaf clover...in January...in the Midwest!

January 7, 2019 The end of November rolled by and the holiday season set in.  I wrote many, many letters to accompany all of my prayerful finds.  January crept in and I received a request.  A dear friend who is part of our family has been living with aggressive brain tumors.  He has chosen not to chance surgery and keep the steady road of life-altering treatment.  He requested a clover. Now,  I don't know if you have ever experienced a Midwest winter but they can be harsh. Long. Cruel even.  We both knew I would keep praying but a finding a clover was going to have to wait.  I was eager for spring knowing that the first one I found would be for him. Or so I thought....like so many other days before, I hustled out to my car from work and glanced at the clovers along the way.  There it was!  My team at work was praying for him just a few hours before this.  I told them it was a silly request but in addition to healing,...
