Laundry Day
Can I tell you how much I dread doing laundry? Last week I had to wash one load three times because it got musty sitting in the washer. Three times! Oh, I know how to do laundry. I have the tools to do laundry. So, why don’t I do laundry? Frankly, there are other things I’d rather be doing, like… well, anything!
There is one time when I feel compelled to do laundry. It’s when I’m putting off something I dread even more. Like cleaning the garage. Or exercising. Or inviting my neighbors to my Neighborhood Cafe Bible study…
Rave On
There’s a grocery store in my town I just love. I am a true fan—I “liked” them on Facebook and joined their email list. I’ve even taken girlfriends on field trips to learn about the shopping cart system and self-bagging. It’s easy for me to rave on about my fave little grocery store. So, why is it so hard for me to talk about Jesus? Why can I say, “God bless you,” to a stranger, but can’t…
Who’s There?
Whew! I’m halfway done delivering invitations for my Open House to my neighbors. Note to self: take dog treats next time! I met a dozen dogs of all shapes and sizes.

Jitters!
Invitations in hand, it’s time to knock on my neighbor’s doors and invite them to my Open House for The Rosewood Cafe. I can think of a hundred reasons why I should put this off another day. I have a stack of bills to pay. We’re out of dog food, I need to go to the store. I’m tired. I’ve got the jitters, really. I don’t know what I’ll find or how I’ll be received. This is physically hard, mentally hard, emotionally hard. But hey, it’s nothing like…
Making Invitations
Craft supplies and candy are taking over the family room as we put together invitations for the Open House I'm hosting for my neighbors for my Neighborhood Cafe, which is called the Rosewood Neighborhood Cafe since we live on Rosewood Drive. Here's a peek at the...
