“Bling Bling” from Jesus
“You are a magpie,” my cousin said one day, as we were walking through the downtown flea markets in Helsinki. “They gravitate to sparkly things, and so do you.” What can I say, it’s true. If it sparkles, I am mesmerized. I even became a rep for a sterling silver company just so I could…

Fireflies!
Seeing fireflies in the evenings makes me believe in magic! There is so much of it in God’s creation. When you stop to think of the firefly and how it lights up the night and makes us smile…actually even thinking about them makes me smile. 🙂 Why did God create the firefly? Or the hummingbird?…
